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,...

using the reporters as effective human shields.

Sounds about right. Many of them fancy themselves "Superman."

[oceanview]

the Al-Rashid can easily be replaced by a Marriott. I say go for it!

[null and void]

"the Iraqi people have always been ruled by a dicatator. Some people just need a dictator to keep them in line"

Guess who wants to be YOUR dictator. Your thought dictator...

[Consort]

From FNC FAQ:

7. Does FOX News Channel provide closed captioning?
We do! Closed Captioning is now available for both daytime and primetime shows.

[Vol2727]

PS: I can confirm that I'm getting CC on FNC right now.

Oh me too. I have captioning from seven am til 11 pm EST on Fox News. It's the late, late night hours and the wknd hours that I don't get captioning. However, I will say that last wknd, they did caption their news from seven til 11 for the first time ever but that's it. Can you confirm to me that you get it 24/7?? Have you seen it? I did for the first five days of the war then they stopped.

[Dog]

I decree we start calling the Republican Guards......

Democrat Guards.

[Miss Marple]

The thing about looking at the books is that they will have company names and individual contacts!

Which means if a certain Rainbow/Push person has been involved in this, as I think he might have been, he is going to disappear pretty quickly!

And it also explains his visit to the Iraqi ambassador in New York.

"I love it when a plan comes together."

[StriperSniper]

building a house for the generator. hmmmm. nifty project.

But in a war zone? Then again, I bet the US has the GPS location for the cam and has it on a "no bomb" list.

[Miss Marple]

You need a new boss.

[TomGuy]

Big flash...explosion on webcam....it has slowed, but still going on.

[cyncooper]

Yep best O'Reilly I have seen, I believe.

Coming up: Analyzing the "Saddams" that appeared "today".

[null and void]

Boy a CPA ought to be an officer.

Yes, but CPL/CPA works.

[cibco]

"Oh please don't tease about losing our bagcam. I want to have this cam all of the way thru seeing a liberated iraq. Unreal world we live in."

Yep - It sure is better than being there...

Congrats on hitting #2900

[POGIFFMOO]

I'm Just Auditing This Class. Hope I did it right.

[glock rocks]

that last flash looked like an air burst... daisy cutter?

[golas1964]

I'll try it after 11pm tonight and see if I still get it. Are you saying that normally, FNC only does it during the weekdays? Sounds rather short sighted, I agree.

[gop212]

I'll second the motion.

[Cboldt]

I thought it was just good leadership for a change.

That is an essential part. I don't think it is the only part. There is a real threat out there, and this leadership is serious about addressing it. Both parts are in play. The forces that want to break the USA have been busy, within and without. The "within" part foments infighting for personal gain (e.g. Clinton and his butt-boys).

We sure dodged a bullet in Nov/Dec 2000. Maybe dodged a howitzer round.

[cyncooper]

Jaime McIntyre just reported that he belived that Iraq may have placed their tv backup system in the hotel where the reporters are staying, using the reporters as effective human shields.

Sharp as a tack, that McIntyre...

[Poser]

How did you know I was a teacher?
