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,...

[furball4paws]

Thank you, all you Freepers. If I didn't have this thread to watch, I'd go crazy. I didn't want to ruin a perfectly good pair of shoes when I put my foot through the TV while CNN or MSNBC was on with their drivel.

Keep it up.

dog barking on cam

Will do, Sweetness. And thank you, I love lightheartedness. Sometimes FReepers make me laugh so hard my sides HURT. FReepers can be rather humorous, unique and....umm....vivid!!

This is really something- I'm not shocked but I'm Awed...After all that has happened within the last 6 hours on live feed. I've never witnessed anything like this before...

Currently--
Sometimes you see blasting light, with no sound... Sometimes you hear sound with no lights. Still, there seems to be a steady smoke from that one spot left of the Mosque.

[StriperSniper]

Test of a ping list... On or Off???

Working fine on this end. On is great. (Like it's hard to find ;-)

[cibco]

Agree on the north of Bag city...

[retrokitten]

That is really cute!

[Cboldt]

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

Adnan and Neb RG Divisions up that way, and cannibalized and attrited by air. The road has been busy, and I suspect we have been careful not to "uncloak" prematurely. Eye in the sky has it in mind.

I am impressed, proud, and eternally greatful for our honorable troops and leaders.

[Nam Vet]

I STILL can't convince her to do that.

Yeap, i am taking in all kinds of sugar and caffeine in hopes that the daylight pics will enlighten us.

Vallely on oreilly: we have entered baghdad proper in the southeast quadrant.

[PrivateIdaho]

More like east - south east... see #2657.

All I want to see is the 3-7th Cav of the 3rd ID leading the charge towards the BAGCAM...

COL. HUNT ON OREILLY!!

[oceanview]

colonel hunt says the saddam sighting near mosul last night was a body double.

[null and void]

That is fantastic Nully. 1000 lb. cement JDAMs.

A good idea, yes. But the guy that suggested adding a roadrunner "meep! meep!" just before impact - sheer genius!

[golas1964]

Shep is at his best when he's 'off the cuff' and relaxed and not reading the prompter. The stuff between him and Rick L is priceless!

[oceanview]

hunt says we have killed over 100,000 soldiers.

[shezza]

Ah, gotcha. I can never get caught up on these threads so I miss lots of posts! Any-hoo, the whole thing (sans a horde of bodyguards, letting people grab his hand and pull him along, jumping up on a table--yeah, right) just doesn't ring true with the Saddam of recent years.

Keep up the good posts...I read what I can when I can! I love the insight here.
