USS Peleliu (LHA-5) is a West Coast Amphibious ship. She was homeported out of Long Beach, CA, when I was in San Diego but that was before clinton sold the base to the chicoms. She is usually used for command and control of amphibous forces (ships, grunts, aircraft) and is capable of carrying lots of Marines, helos, Harriers, landing craft, and all of the associated equipment needed to keep 'em flying and fighting. Along with that, she has a full hospital (well, at least as full as you can get on a ship) and repair facilities. Hope this helps.

Regarding the photo of the firing range target above, not a good sign for AL Queda that the target has no holes in it.

That photo of the people peering through what is supposed to be ObL's bedroom makes me wonder. How come he left without his rifle? Hmmm, wonder if he's dead after all. Or else he left in such a hurry that he forgot his rifle. Thanks for the ping!

Oops, just reread the section by that photo, and see it was Omar's bedroom! Sorry for the confusion. But guess he forgot his rifle!

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy these pictures. There is a truth to them that no journalist, especially in the liberal controlled Canadian media, would or could ever convey. I have nothing but admiration for America's armed forces, their leaders, and GW. I also feel very deeply for those in the Canadian armed forces who have been so cheated and humiliated for the last 30 years by socialist bigots who have no respect for our freedom and what is required to maintain it. God Bless America!
