gympool Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Im a contract fire fighter on base in Baghdad. I walked outside and saw fire works going off around 730pm. I wasnt sure if they were on base or not. It looked to me like they were off base. Dont know if it has anything to do with the GOI, but i just thought it was something out of the ordinary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR8Man Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Instead of paying the Iraqi's the leaders decide to distract them with fireworks???? Come on work with me.... How did the fireworks compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturday night Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Let's see, maybe their getting ready for Indepedence Day in Iraq. Doesn't hurt to make sure they are going to go off when they are suppose to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QTen Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 No worries. The Chinese have just opened up a fireworks factory there and are showing the iraqis how to use them...Believe it or not??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cplinedrive Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Was there alot of fireworks? Or just the 'neighborhood' addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the same thing going to get something to eat. It surprised me, definitely out of the ordinary. When I came out later there was a lot of talking over a loud speaker. It was off in the distance. Not the prayer stuff. When did Eid finish? Was there alot of fireworks? Or just the 'neighborhood' addition. It wasn't as grand as some of the fourth of july's I've been a part of but it was decent size and it went on for a while. I had a crazy thought they might sneak a round in or something...hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPG350 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 The people of Iraq must enjoy fireworks alot better than in the past with Saddam shooting up in the air and raining lead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
financeminister Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Are you sure they weren't scud missiles going off like they used to? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GO RV!! Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Are you sure they weren't scud missiles going off like they used to? It might have been cheaper and maybe they had some duds laying around... can you imagine how much fire works would run you if you were buying a "shows worth" PRE RV... Yeah we spent $1 billion on that fire works show.... ...I know it sounds expensive.... I think that would be awesome to see a fire works show put on for the people though - I think that would be cool! Kind of like the 4th for us! - Fresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a going away party for Alowi! The people of Iraq must enjoy fireworks alot better than in the past with Saddam shooting up in the air and raining lead.

cbs71 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I figured it out... Geico is opening up their 1st office in the Middle East in Baghdad and the towns people just realized that they are going to save 15% on their camel insurance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
