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,...

Hate waiting for the thread to switch!

[jayef]

so close

Hate waiting for the thread to switch!

You should've been around in the old days when ALL the replies were on the same page :-)

Why is it Kutter or Gutter?

Indigenous pronunciation (as journalists are oft inclined to prefer) involves a 'gutteral' sound for the leading 'Q'...much like the French would say...

Chief Inspectorrr Cleauseau!

Practice gargling marbles and you can approach the 'correct' effect.

82nd Airborne in a firefight. Couple hundred enemy forces. Reported on Fox News. I didn't get which city, would guess An Najaf.

[Orlando]

What a fool, there getting ammo resupply from Syria. The roads from Syria needs to be taken care of..responsing to Fox news comment

[Otta B Sleepin]

I didn't catch the name either but I think the reporter said it was in the southernmost part of Iraq. Shep didn't recognize the name of the city.

[null and void]

Some people want to know which cam-which url and may not have time to scroll through all the posts to find them.

Noted. Will try to post a links summary within the first dozen posts on the next thread.

Marines kill Al Nida Republican Guard commander running a checkpoint (Had Saddam's phone # on him?) see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/885221/posts

[AppyPappy]

Whoa!! That time, the car alarm went off BEFORE the explosion was heard

[Dog]

That one was close.....sitll rumbling..

[hawkaw]

Boom Boom on the BagCam. Noise and it sets the car alarms off again.

[Otta B Sleepin]

Could someone please explain the difference between a firefight and an actual battle? Does a battle involve both aircraft and ground forces?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks for the heads up, Dog. I don't doubt that reruns are being shown....have been shown for years to control the Iraqi people. That OUR reporters, living in free nations are incapable of simple reasoning is scary. Sorry, but the pen is a mighty weapon and truth and common sense matter. Really evil people who hate the USA were aided today by the mainstream media.

[RippleFire]

See http://www.webcamsue.demon.nl/ - seems to have 'em all

I have been meaning to post this for a few days but I think there is still time to take a look if anyone wishes. It is a great page dedicated to the work the U.S. military has been doing to study and improve urban operation tactics. A real effort has been made post MOG.

We need more back-up by the airport. Blow the bridges , so to cut off Saddam re-infocements. Disable those bridges !!!!

Bridges can be your friends; especially when your enemy is trapped mid-span!

[hawkaw]

Good grief. Who's the SkyGuy at the desk who intimated that we Americans must've gotten a shock seeing Saddamn striding up and down the streets in broad daylight?

We no believingk it real. We no stoopid.

I just caught your post. I was so throughly pi$$ed at that David guy this morning on Sky that I turned it off and started watching the PMSNBC BagCam.

They just don't get it. Its about an entire regime change just not one guy. Whether he is dead or not it doesn't matter. It's all about taking away the Baath Party's power.

This sadaam has big bags under his eyes maybe he is afraid to go to sleep because he might not wake up?

Wasn't that a Twilight Zone" episode???
