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,...

Cool, it works. Thanks for the lesson, heh.

The stream contamination could be from an underground source rather than direct contamination and they can probably tell from the concentration. It could be damaged underground containers which is one of the problems of burying these chemicals.

copy and paste that into browser URL--it's a high quality cam too...it is bac to baghdad square right now, but you can hear camera crew etc

[Solson]

Beret Boy reminds me of one of my all time favorite phone calls. IT is a must listen and absolutely hillarious.

[EllaMinnow]

He's back on talking about it now - MSNBC.

[hobson]

Who? Who? I missed it.

[Krodg]

This war is making some serious news stars. Rick Leventhal is guaranteed a big contract next time around. Bob Arnot should get an anchor position.

On the other hand, Geraldo has not helped himself.

[hawkaw]

The anchor is asking him questions about the small arms fire. Says it is likely nervous Baath party people seeing the Americans are a 15 minute drive away.

Now he is talking about 2 market bombings. Giving the Iraqi numbers on the death toll and reporting it as if it was real. On second market, blabing about shell fragments that had American or British markings but then qualifies it with ... well I never did see that myself.

[TonyInOhio]

Benedict Arnett on NTV bagcam right now.

[mwl1]

Contrary to your assertion, Michael Kelly was no conservative. He was, however, a journalist of immense integrity and hated Clinton.

Thank you for posting his bio. He will indeed be missed.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Rick missed boot camp, summer camp - camp in general methinks. (^: The guys with him seem to get a kick out of it when he shows concern for their comfort.

[golas1964]

Anything more from Rick Levanthal? About the Marines east of Baghdad? I saw a post about a 5 hr firefight, casualties, something about Rick saying it was the 'worst day of his life'... Any more info?

[Mad Dawgg]

Get down with the Baghdad Beat on Bagcam now!

[two23]

LOLOLOLOL "she kicked my dog" LOL LOL

[EllaMinnow]

Arnot saying done on purpose to poison US troops.

[retrokitten]

We could never forget about the Aussies!

[DollyCali]

Maybe this is Beret Boy's surprise..

Obviously our leaders are on top of regular water testing.

This is my fear here in the states.- or to other areas, I realize this thread is Canada, Europe, Australia.. .. so easy to do in comparison to other things

and

such a "good" way for the bad guys to cause real havoc.

[eyespysomething]

If I wasn't married....


LOL He's a cutie!

[TonyInOhio]

something about Rick saying it was the 'worst day of his life'... Any more info?

I saw that segment - I think he was referring to his coverage of 9/11 in response to a question from Shep Smith.
