Glad to be of service.
Thank you!
This is fantastic! What a surprise, and a startling contrast to the news we see and hear. Wish this were shown on the MSM, but alas, no way.
Beats Burning cars
HOT DAMN! GREAT POST!!
NO you will not see these in the MSM.
Makes us look Human!
Anybody who finds pictures like this: PLEASE Post them.
Thanks for sharing those.
That, my friends, are the faces of a free, liberated people.
Lovely photos, left them a message.
I wonder if there is any way that the Arabs and Peace Loving Muslims would allow the various Religious Communities in the USofA and other Countries to open up Orphanages or Hospitals or Schools to help their Country?
Would that ever become a possibility?
I love these pictures! I went to the site and looked through many of them and I was reminded of a story my mother used to tell us when we were kids. My mother grew up in St Helens, Lancashire, England. She was 4 years old when WW2 broke out. Times were very hard for the people in England because of rationing etc....air raids and all that. But my mother has a fond memory of that time and it involved a young GI from New Jersey. It was so long ago she has forgotten his name.
Every time a new shipment of supplies would come in the children of her neighborhood would scurry to see what they could get from the GI's. Chocolate was a favorite treat. This one particular GI would take a special interest in my mom...he called her curly top because she had a headful of curls. He would give her extra things that he wouldn't give to the rest of the children. He did this for many months.
One day my mother went to the place where this kind GI would give her things and found out that the man had been transferred. She was so disappointed.... until someone noticed her standing there and asked her if she was "curly top." Then, they gave her a huge box of things that this GI had collected for her. There was a treasure trove of treats in the box. Candy, oranges and even a pair of stockings for my grandmother!!
My mother has never forgotten the kindness of that GI and how he helped her and her family during a very difficult time. In looking at the pictures of these beautiful Iraqi children, I can't help but wonder what precious memories are being stored up in their minds about GI's from a foreign land handing out treats and toys to them after so many years of oppression.
God Bless these fine men and women and the job they have undertaken.

Well of course the MSM does not carry them. They have much bigger stories to cover, like forging documents, traveling to Viet Nam and trying to figure out why George W Bush missed a shower while in the National Guard.
How heart warming!!
Cool. Too bad the MSM won't touch it. Iraq does have a future. They were the cradle of civilization as Mesopotamia. Babylon is also in Iraq. Some say the Garden of Eden was in Iraq.
Bump
Thank you for the link to the good things happening in Iraq. It's such a shame that the media doesn't do this.
Oh the Humanity! ! !
By the way, whatever happened to politics stopping at the waters edge? ? ?
Frickin DNC and Kerry Edwards and Libs....
Looks like our guys are teaching them the "Thumbs Up!" gesture -- and starting 'em young... :-)
If, for some wierd HTML reason, the pic doesn't display, it is in the sixth row, third column.
bump for later
These pictures made me cry, also. I am so proud of our soldiers. Well, we know one thing for sure. The children love them, and children have always been good judges of character. We have some wonderful Americans serving around the world.
Thanks for posting these pictures. They have brought tears to my eyes. God bless our soldiers!
