Sorry for the blank post. Tried to copy the photo on this page.

It's not particularly newsworthy but the composition is near perfect. An artist could do no better.

So many targets and so much ammo. I love the smell of gunsmoke in the morning.

If they try to leave in a raghead caravan, as suggested by some of the photos posted in this thread, wouldn't it be just too damned bad if Mr. Predator (UAV) and his good pal Hellfire spotted them in transit.

"Operation Flaming Turban" all over the road...an early Christmas present for civilization.

Re “Pork Boarding” . Love the concept except that Rep. John Murtha beat you to it.

He is the “King of Pork”, looks like he ate all of it in his district, and squeals like a stuck pig. Don’t let this oinker get near a BBQ.

As I wrote elsewhere, I don’t care if we “waterboard, surfboard, or ironingboard” the enemy if it will save American troops and innocent people from harm

Hmmm!. I can just picture Murtha with a surfboard or ironing board shoved up his ***. Somebody create this image, PLEASE!!!!!

Operation Flaming Turban - love it. Designed to cool (or kill) the hotheads in the Taliban.

Hey Mr. Taliban, tally your dead bananas.

“Pork Boarding” what we should do to Rep. John Murtha (though he might eat the pig, raw and all).
