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,...

[SoldiersGirl]

Can you imagine if Shep were embedded??
Oh lordy.

[POGIFFMOO]

Still Shock and Awe.....though I think they are saying Shackin' up when I hear them.

[eyespysomething]

She's gone

[Timeout]

Bigger booms.

I said it last night and I'll say it again. Might considerate of that General Franks to give us our first ride-by on the daylight cam.

I still wonder if his staff is lurking here and will give us a little heads-up just before they appear.

[SoldiersGirl]

I thought he said Hostile Forces, but I wasn't positive and didn't want to look stupid (again)

[Fledermaus]

I'm convince we've force them to, like we have for a week, consolidate their positions for perceived strength. With no supply lines for them, we whack them good.

And we are moving what is left of citizens out of areas we will finish off (and used smaller and more precise bombs in the past) into safe zones we've created in the city.

Then the big busters come in and finish off the regime.

If we do have 10,000 spec ops there, I hope and think they've already done most of the house to house in certain areas and removed the thugs. I hope they "profile" and stop and search and react to all males first, but when pregnant women are willing to blow themselves up...be careful.

[umbagi]

You can always show her asleep and the Greata One smirking.

:-)... I didn't want to spoil it for Dog by putting Greta in there -- but the juxtaposition is wonderful!

[juzcuz]

I hear it too big bombs ))))))))

then some silence.... GOOD MORNING BAGDAD.....

[STARWISE]

Definitely booming noticeably audible on CBS BagCam. Which one are y'all watching?

[Mo1]

All is clear .. Gretta is gone .. safe to come out now

[golas1964]

All clear.

[johnnyd]

GOOOOOOOOD Mornin' Baaahgdad!!!!!!!!!

[Mo1]

CBS and MSNBC

[Poser]

Thank you lord. It's Shemp.

[Petronski]

Damn I'm proud to be an American tonight!

'Democracy! Whiskey! Sexy!'

[Consort]

Can you imagine if Shep were embedded??

How come Helen Thomas and Susan Estrich aren't embedded?

[eyespysomething]

per FN , 10,000 Spec Ops?
I didn't know there were that many

[SoldiersGirl]

It's against the geneva convention.

[Timeout]

Didn't you love that guy? "We want you bring sexy"!

Damn...these booms are bigger than S & A

[rossusa]

Did I just see a helicopter fly by in the distance on the Bagcam!?
