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,...

that seemed close to the cam

[TexKat]

I believe Akbar is charged with murder and 2 counts of attempted murder. A waste of taxpayer money, they should have killed him on the spot.

[johnnyd]

HOLY COW!!!! That was hugh!!!!

[Consort]

Achmed will soon soil his underware.

[golas1964]

The live reports usually start up anytime after 9pm Eastern. Shep's 11pm report is excellent. Lots of reports from Ollie, Rick and Greg... OMG HUGE BLASTS ON BAGCAM!!!

[Cboldt]

Re II MEF: Will be interesting to see where they are when they "uncloak"...

Armchair general in me says north of Bag. Headed either toward Bag, or Tikrit, depending on enemy actions.

[cibco]

Agree on the west...

[TomGuy]

Thank goodness for the webcams. The networks/cable have the talkingheads mouthing....and missing the fireworks. (Can't they point the camera to the action, sit back, and shut up!!!!!!}....

[Nam Vet]

The Officer Corps will execute this guy after a court-martial. He fragged his C.O. If he got a light sentence, discipline would go RIGHT down the ol' crapper.

[Cboldt]

Okay, you keep track of the people who pay attention. One less chore for me (big SEG)

[TomGuy]

Achmed will soon soil his underware.

will? probably done did

[umbagi]

Armchair general in me says north of Bag.

I hope someone's got a real stranglehold on the road to Tikrit...

One thing we do know is that those embeds are not getting much sleep tonight.
What a night of fighting it's been.

[ican'tbelieveit]

I loved shep's program a couple of nights ago when he was asking rick l. questions. They have got such a wonderful friendship they make the whole show. Shep had a question come in about whether women can approach the soldiers and talk and rick replied he didn't talk to any women, he had a girlfriend.

[PrivateIdaho]

flashes coming from the same area each time

Should have seen it about 3 hours ago... the area to the left of the Mosque flashed like a strobe light for about an hour and a half.

[fiesti]

lol don't think achmed will sleep through his alarm tonight

[Jackie-O]

See my post 2748. I agree with you.

[Dog]

Here we are watching a traffic cam in a enemy captiol as OUR TROOPS mass on its outskirts......amazing times we live in huh??
