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,...

Hans Blix "White Powder?...Smoking gun? aye carumba!! I was looking for Smoking Buns! We only checked bakeries, we found white powder but it turned out to be flour."

:o

Hi!!!!

[Straight Vermonter]

I like the idea too. As long as it does not mean we give up on going after the bad guys.

[Straight Vermonter]

Briefing time.

[Carolina]

Richard Engle is back in front of BagCam again. Looks like he's showered.

[An.American.Expatriate]

Is this the "new and improved list" for inclusion in all future threads??

If so, I'll build it into my "page".

If you need to change it, please Freepmail it (or a link!) as I don't check all the posts before I start a new thread (at 6:00 am local Swiss Time).

[MEG33]

Practice,practice,testing.

[Quilla]

Good morning to you too, Carolin. I'm going to get ready for the office and watch the briefing at the same time. Have to head out in 20 minutes - thank goodness we have Ragtime Cowgirl to recap what I'll be missing. I'll check back with y'all soon.

[An.American.Expatriate]

Powdered Milk??

[Carolina]

Happy birthday, Richard, who is an AP photographer.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Morning! Our guys fed Takoma French tuna named "Chicken of the Sea"? (^:

How to Conduct Chemical Warfare - no way.

[Carolina]

Baby Formula, for sure.

[Cboldt]

As long as it does not mean we give up on going after the bad guys.

I'm sure that remains on the agenda. We'll enlist the help of the locals, too. 4 ID is on the way, close behind. Plenty of country not secure yet, and politically, still rugged and uncertain territory. Our fine fighting troops remain in harm's way.

What an amazing campaign. Took down the UN, France, Germany and Iraq. Have Syria "on edge," and even managed to "shut up" the midget dictator in North Korea. The Democrats are imploding, Hollyweird is exposing itself.

On the other hand, we have some fresh snow on the ground this morning.

[An.American.Expatriate]

Good, I knew that Saddam was a good man and he was storing this "for the children".

[prairiebreeze]

Good moooooorning Situation Room! Sounds like there was a suicide car in the west that took out some of the good guys :^(.

Also heard we found some of the toys in the toy box, white powder, instructions, nerve agent antidote.

[Daniel Ramsey]

uh-oh, time for the top ten dumbest questions asked by reporters during the Second Gulf War, LOL its briefing time....

[pitinkie]

Hi clouda badouda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Carolina]

he was storing this "for the children".

Hillary and Nancy would be so pleased.
