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,...

My orange julius almsot landed on my keyboard.

Well, this isn't new. The Iraqis have been moving their human shields around since the war started. Nate Thayer of Slate had reported on this very thing until he was given a choice to either leave through Syria or become a human shield. He left. I haven't been back to Slate to find out what happened to him, because I don't give a damn what happens to him since he stopped reporting from Baghdad.

Frankly, I don't much care what happens to the others, either. The journalists who are there had a choice to leave or stay as a shield; unlike like Nate Thayer they chose to stay. As far as the "70-year-old grandmothers from California" and the "20-year-old hippies" from Spain? Everybody's gotta die sometime, and they'd be dying for their cause. Why should I care? Bomb them.

God I want to see an a-10 go screaming across that circle at about roof top level .. LOL

[AlextheWise1]

... hes putting up a white flag it looks like....

[Poser]

Do you suppose CentCom called up Fox and told them to go ahead? Naw... They wouldn't give Fox an exclusive.

There's Jennifer again! Oh my.

[ztiworoh]

Eccelston looks good, but she accents the wrong syllables on every word and sounds constantly out of breath


Oooh Big Jets!

[fellowpatriot]

Watchin the CBS Bagcam, is that a white flag he's holding?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Hennifer Eccleston is HOT! Where does Fox find these babes?

Hennirer. Spanish variation?

Fox has to have babes on to balance against the ugly Democrat skanks they have to show.

[demlosers]

BOOM!

[Fledermaus]

Baghdad Bob said "coalition forces were nowhere near Baghdad"...guess it depends on what the meaning of the word "near" is.

I'm telling you, he should just surrender and ask for asylum. He'd be perfect for the DNC.

[melodie]

looks like he has his white flag for when we get there

[Capitalism2003]

poor shep...I can just seem him, on the monday show...

"Live to homes AROUND the world..THIS is your news...FAIR and BALANCED...For more updates, stay with G....You're watching the G-Spot. (commercial)

[Poser]

Was Jennifer talking? I didn't notice.

[eyespysomething]

mmmm, Orange Julius. They closed all the ones around here, years ago. MMMM strawberry julius

[knak]

that's what I thought too. He's gonna surrender to a fighter jet.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Can you image a FOX embedded reporter stepping into the rooftop ABBCNNBCBS camera and saying, "Hi. We're live here on FOX news in Bagdad, and wanted to inform you that your analysts have been feeding you propaganda and enemy lies ...."

[SoldiersGirl]

I'd even give baghdad Bob his own show on Fox. He's a riot.
he could have a half hour version of his news.

[commish]

Boom, car alarm ... get it right LOL!!!!

Ahmed and Norm are surrendering to the Bagcam!!

[glock rocks]

french battle flag.

[Mo1]

God I want to see an a-10 go screaming across that circle at about roof top level .. LOL
