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,...
After pausing it and looking at him compared to the photo, I'm not so sure it's him. Same color hair and mustache, BUT, the guy on the still photo has a pretty thick receding hairline. This guy in the rally has a buzzcut, but I'm not seeing a bad receding hairline.
... if that video walkabout was shot in 1991, then he might not have had a receeding hairline at that time. 12 years does a lot to a man's hairline!
JenniferTheBreathlesslyBabblingBeachBlondeBabe is utterly impossible to catch with her mouth closed and her eyes open; they're mutually-exclusive conditions for her.
Anyway, here's one blowing Dog a kiss:
P.S.: I'll leave the rest here, for a while...
I've always had the feeling the 4th ID would be on the move sooner than anyone expected. I'll bet it's been driving them crazy to be stuck in travel mode while the fight to free Iraq goes on without them.
None? .. where are they?
I get it.
Saddam has his sights on the Prestige target. He's lost his International Airport. Named after him. Think how that makes him feel relative to other Arab leaders. They get to keep their international airports, their Roman Tubs, their bought and paid for intellectuals, their gutter press, and their Executive Chef kitchens with the Viking Stainless Steel 48" Professional Cooktop.
Saddam is pissed! Hell, not even Ronald McDonald got treated this bad...
Okay, well, maybe Saddam gets a little bit more respect.
Anyhoo, Saddam really wants the airport back. He wants a battlefield success to wave in the face of the rest of the Arabs. So he doesn't give a flying rat's fingernail about Saddam City. They're all Shi'as anyway. Let the Americans deal with them.
Methinks Saddam's attention is fixed on the damn airport. That's why were moving in so fast.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
