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,...

Hunt on FoxNews...confirmed...over 100,000 Iraqi soldiers killed.

[Cboldt]

if I have my bearing right bag cam is pointed south

There was a map posted above http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid58/pd7db127d8ccde7facdb4034b26a64b3d/fc648de4.jpg

Bag Cam only shows stuff in Baghdad city.

FoxNews reporting 100,000 dead Iraqi soldiers. Whooooo. This is a rout of absolute historic proportions.

I love freeper humor...my kinda people. But then again I like the grace you had earlier today with the skunky-dude. Smooth..of course if I were his target, being a newbie,(and a hot headed Italian-girl) I would have argued with him for a while. I learn alot from you Vets! Thanks!

It seems we have confirmed botulium toxican and Ricin at that terrorist camp...

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

He reports we have met heavy resistance as we have entered the city and if this is in the right area, it may be the fierce fighting we've listened to all night.

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

Ya, just hope a mushroom cloud doesn't take it out...

[umbagi]

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

Agreed, agreed, and agreed. I suspect that if RG starts bailing for Tikrit, we'll see the uncloaking, if not before...

These guys -- all of them, including their leaders and "The Plan" -- are superb!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Nah. I wasn't taking a poll. Just enjoy reiterating for the press that we're kicking butt while they whine and undermine. It's a cheap hobby.

[Cate]

on :)

[Redcloak]

I wonder how long it will be until the Rackies realize that those pilots were using the lights at the hotel as a landmark for those bomb runs.

[oceanview]

this part makes no sense, if they have 1000 of these russian anti tank missiles, why can't they impact more of our Abrams?

[cibco]

"dog barking on cam"

No - He's at his computer...

[umbagi]

And, uh, I use "guys" generically ;-). We've got some world-class females involved, too...

[Timeout]

Thank yeeeeeew!

[cyncooper]

It seems we have confirmed botulium toxican and Ricin at that terrorist camp...

Before Hipp on O'Reilly stated the substances were confirmed at the camp, did he not say some of the stuff found this morning was determined to be a nerve agent? The kind the Nazis used, I think he said. Please correct me if I heard him wrong.

[Jackie-O]

Great minds think alike, babe!
Many times I don't EVEN bother trying to catch up.
Just dive in head first!! ;0)

[knak]

Afternoon Jim!

What's happening today? Can anybody give me a breakdown of today? This is my first chance to get on here all day. Been at the DMV all day long.....

[gop212]

Greetings everyone......Been away for the past three hours, any new groundbreaking developments?

And more importantly, have we heard from Geraldo in Kuwait City?
