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,...

Can someone tell me why this thread will not show up on my "Latest Threads" page.
I have to do a search to find it. HELP!!

[texasbluebell]

I don't know. Don't want to speculate. They'll probably let the families know overnight. There's some confusion about who's who it sounds like.

Really really sad.

[Unknown Freeper]

Leno is on again here. I can't wait for Dennis. Loved the shot of the caterpillar as SH's mustache. lol

[Mo1]

Not sure why .. maybe if you freepmail the Admin Mod they can help

[texasbluebell]

Well, I heard some reports that our intelligence on the ground thought she was dead when the fight was over. But she must have had wounds that were not as bad as was thought.

And I read somewhere that she was able to walk into their horrible "hospital" so her legs were not broken at that point, not till they "worked" on her.

It sounds like she got most of her injuries after she was captured.

Thanks To Jessica!

A friend of mine shot this picture today of Jessica Lynch's name placed on a mountainside in Grants Pass, Oregon, in thanks for her service to America. I don't know who put it up.

Many thanks to her and to all soldiers past and present, living and dead, harmed or unharmed in battle, for all you have done in preserving our freedom.

God bless America.

If I rcall, the night of the first bombing on Saddam, wasn't it reported that a Top Palest. Guy was killed .. And IMO you can bet there were ties to the terrorists ..

I hadn't heard that about the big palestinian guy. Yes, these guys are all working together to defeat the Great Satan, aren't they? Too bad we have to convince the libs in this country...

[texasbluebell]

Great pic! Thanks for posting it!

[Mo1]

I don't know. Don't want to speculate. They'll probably let the families know overnight. There's some confusion about who's who it sounds like.

I think FNC said they were going to be flown back here

I don't mean to sound gross, but they were killed around the 23rd? .. they may not be easy to identified

[bornintexas]

Yes, they did send them home. I heard on the radio that they sent them to Dover.

[texasbluebell]

I heard the other day that every soldier who has gone over there gave DNA before they left, so that should make it much easier.

[Mo1]

It was reported the morning after the first bombing I think by Sky News

However, I haven't heard anything more since then

Here is a thread about what Arnot said ..

Fedayeen: Palestinians and Syrians

OK .. now I'm really going to bed .. Well I'll gonna try .. *L*

[Pro-Bush]

Thank for sharing..

[texasbluebell]

Thanks for the link.

Yeah, I really should stop this.

Any minute...

[hoyaloya]

Don't know if anyone heard Bob Arnot about 10-15 minutes ago describe the firefight he saw sometime in the last 24 hours - he said -

"I don't want to sound sacrireligious or anything . . . but watching those Cobras and their rockets was the COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN."

[texasbluebell]

And per Fox, 4 more bodies were found at the same place as the 9 bodies, where Jessie was rescued.

Believed to be American, and also sent to Dover.

Most of these people, our soldiers, prisoners of war, were alive when captured and filmed, and then were murdered by those damn iraqis.

[texasbluebell]

I didn't hear all of his report, I've been on Fox mostly. But Arnot is really something. Hope he has a change of employment one of these days.

Admin Mods are like cops you can't find one when you need him.

"I don't want to sound sacrireligious or anything . . . but watching those Cobras and their rockets was the COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN."

Well, I don't want to sound sacrilegious or anything, but I can't wait for "Medal of Honor: Iraq"...

[texasbluebell]

Fox just showed a short clip of Rick Leventhal asking a soldier what music he'd play as they roll into Baghdad, and the soldier said "Kill Them All" by Metallica!
