The USA and the Armies of Good are freeing the Iraqis. But what does the "media" cover?
IRAQI WOMEN & CHILDREN BEING USED AS HUMAN SHIELDS !!!!!!!!
THE LOWEST OF THE LOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** CONFIRMED *****
I love the pic of the Iraqi guy beating the Saddam mural with his shoe. In middle eastern cultures, gesturing with your shoe bottom is a high insult. You're telling that person that they aren't worth the dirt (and whatever else) on the bottom of your shoes. This guy is making a statement about Saddam that he would have been tortured and executed for just days ago.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the (much to thin) children has me thanking GOD that we have finally taken this step.
Reminder: originally from armymarinemom last week, passed on to me by Ragtime Cowgirl:
"I got a phone call from the sand box this morning. My son said that news of rallies to support our troops has reached Kuwait. He asked that I thank everyone involved because support from home means the world to our troops."
It is fashionable on FR to bash Arabic things, but some are quite beautiful and the fact they remain can only be appreciated by the Iraquis..
A U.S. soldier was detained Sunday on suspicion of throwing grenades into three tents at a 101st Airborne command center in Kuwait, killing one fellow serviceman and wounding 13, three of them seriously.
The word "Thanks" just doesn't express the gratitude for the great service you provide here. But, thanks!
In Kuwaiti , a citizen shouts 'Bush is a real man! God save him, his father liberated Kuwait,
and now his son Bush is liberating Iraq.'. Bandito reports that the media walked away from
him to find some ranting Islamic terrorist to interview.
The lame-stream media makes me sick. Thank heaven for the FreeRepublic and Fox. God bless our troops and our President, and thank you, Dio, for all you do!!
We're firing expired missiles? Darn, I guess if it misses we can't go back and get it repaired.
Smacking the image of Saddam's face with a shoe is probably a death penalty offense ... but this guy looked pretty happy to do it on camera.
Uh oh, this bomb is out of warranty. I guess that means they can't send it back for warranty repairs if it somehow, oh, I don't know, breaks into thousands of pieces suddenly.
A U.S. Marine from the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit discards a portrait of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein he removed it from the command office of the southern Iraqi naval base in Az Zubayar.
A British Royal Marine from 42 Commando fires a Milan wire-guided missile at an Iraqi position on the Al Faw peninsula in southern Iraq on Friday.
U.S. Army 3rd Infantry Division soldiers secure a field near Najaf, Iraq, early Sunday. The U.S.-led forces were within 100 miles of Baghdad, but had encountered some areas of stiff resistance from Iraq troops.
Thank you !
