Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service (tm), the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

Folks......listen this isn't even being shown inside Iraqi.....state TV is off the air....the only way people inside Iraq are seeing this is if they own a satellite dish. Which the Iraqi government only allowed the higher ups to have.

This is all designed to buck up the fedyeen and the thugs..

[WI Conservative 4 Bush]

They keep showing the tape over and over on Sky TV (the link is at the top of the page).

Thanks Freepers. God Bless our troops, our leaders, the innocent Iraqi's, and our fallen heroes.

Maybe Torie's tweaking the superficial leftist elites w/ her choice of clothes. It seems there's a twinkle in GW's eyes when he "mispronounces" words sometimes. The oh-so-fashion conscious press corp is a captive audience.

[Catspaw]

I bet this is being beamed into every home in Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank & Gaza...places like that. Even if Iraqi TV was up, they'd need electricity to turn on their sets. They've got neither.

It must be an inside joke.

[Extremist]

If this truly happened during the present campaign, why on earth did they wait till now to show it? Why did we not know of such a gathering when it happened? Al Jezeera or Abu Dhabi would have aired it long ago. This is a dug up tape from the Gulf-War (in my opinion).

[VadeRetro]

Big Al's been around the family. Initially adopted by the grown daughter of the woman who became my brother's second wife.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Sure looks to me that he is alive. If so, I am real glad he is still in Baghdad so we can go and get him. I am wondering if this was psyops all along.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

If CNN isn't buying this then its not the real deal.

Not a nod to CNN's concern for accuracy, I gather? Heh.

Judy W. in the smoking lounge: "Darn, darn, darn, darn!"

[Sacajaweau]

I read it straight through, too!! Very clever, ain't they.

Fox needs to lose this Simon Marks .....

[fellowpatriot]

You all seeing Saddam in the crowd......look how young he looks.

I was thinking the same thing. This is probably footage from GW1. Sure looks a lot younger than the guy they tried to pass off as sodamned right after the initial attack.

[Consort]

NTV webcam works.

[Catspaw]

Fox needs to lose this Simon Marks .....

Agreed. He might as well be reporting for the BBC. (When he's on, I change the channel.)

[two23]

Yes, I posted that a few times about the daylight/dark but the thread is moving fast! This is pure crapola! An FNC shouldn't waste air time with it.

[Dog]

General Downing on MSNBC points out that today it was over 100 in Baghdad.......and it doesn't look like those people are sweating......Brian Williams chimes in ......this could have been filmed last week.......LOL!

[fellowpatriot]

Thanks for sharing. It's no wonder we are hated by so many with news organizations such as CNN.
