========= Baghdad =========

In Baghdad, empty streets, fierce sandstorm, and pollution by
Saddam's thick smoke from burning oil trenches.

Ozymandius by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said--"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart . . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandius, King of Kings,
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Thank you as always for these magnificent, morale-boosting photo essays.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Please Thank someone in the military for ensuring our Freedom.
Take a moment and Thank a Service Man or Woman.
Just Click on the graphic to SEND a message to someone in the military.

I like how the sun is setting in this picture.

[TennTuxedo]

Bill O'Reilly stated on his show tonight that a high ranking member of the CIA told him that the CIA and U.S. military conservatively estimated that the U.S. armed forces and British forces have eliminated at least 25,000 Iraqi soldiers. You would never know that if you listened to CNN or read the New York Times. We are winning this war in an overwhelming and unprecedented manner.

[Redcloak]

That tanker picked the wrong moment to run back to his tank!

[Radix]

DioG

You are hero to me

Thank you for your posts!

[x1stcav]

Thank you, Sir! You provide an incredible service to all of us.

These photos do not begin to tell the story of the conditions our troops are enduring.

I spent a lot of time in the 80's in Jordan, Kuwait, and Iraq. I was, many times, caught up in one of these "dust storms' (which is what they actually are) and I can tell you that the conditions are miserable. The dust can be so bad that you literally cannot see your hand in front of your face, etc. Also, breathing this for any period of time will start to make one nauseous.

The natives take a time out. We used to push on. Were we stupid? No. I think we just had an indominatble attitude. This has apparently survived in this generation of American warriors.

BUMP FOR THE HEROES LIBERATING IRAQ.

I'll certainly BUMP to that!

Thanks for another amazing thread.

[Rome2000]

Too bad with all the free press we have we don't see these morale boosting images on our TV screens.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Amazing photos... I really liked the one of the children. American children who are so sheltered from the ravages of war, might be frightened of the image of the tanks moving through. But those children looked excited and interested in seeing it. They are witnessing history.

[visualops]

Awesome pics!

I curious if there are pictures available of our good works in Afghanistan?
I know we've built hospitals especially for teaching prenatal and infant care (educating parents) as well as so much other stuff. I'd really like to see those types of pics passed around so people know what a tremendous success the war in Afghanistan was/is.
(I read some anti-war nonsense talker saying "we never hear about Afghanistan" commenting this war would be a failure as that was- i.e. not catching osama)

Thanks! keep posting those pics, they fill my heart with pride!!

[Billthedrill]

A Diogenesis BTT. Rock and roll!

[EternalVigilance]

BUMP!

What is with all of the handwringers in the media? Oh yeah, they're all Demorats...

"Bill O'Reilly stated on his show tonight that a high ranking member of the CIA told him that the CIA and U.S. military conservatively estimated that the U.S. armed forces and British forces have eliminated at least 25,000 Iraqi soldiers. "

I heard that for the first time too. I was suprised.

[maxamillion]

Thanks for the pictures, there great, especially the ones of the marines, they're GODS walking into HELL...

[EternalVigilance]

Pay What We Owe

War is hell
So many pay
Freedom's price
In death they lay

But to bend our knees
To evil's threat
Would be far worse
Than to pay that debt

So bring the glory
Bring the gore
Cause we know damn well
What we're fighting for

Come what may
We'll win this fight
As our banners fly
By the dawn's early light

Our foe will bow
And not our side
Though the awful cost
Will make us cry

But when it's o'er
Our heads held high
We'll know they did
Our vict'ry buy

So honor them
And praise their names
The least they've earned
Is a heroes fame

I don't always (hardly ever) reply to the threads you ping me to, but I always see them. Everyday when I get home from work I check "my comments" and see your latest thread. I click on it then change out of my work clothes ... then I eat my dinner, check my mail, and help my kids with their homework. After that I go back to my computer, and the rest on the time the page is loading I ponder whether or not a dyslexic atheist insomniac stays up all night wondering if there really is a dog.

But I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Great as always. Keep on bumpin'.

[TADSLOS]

Heartwarming photos Dio. Thanks again for all you do.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I love that poem by Shelley! Make sure you post it after that statue is knocked down.

[paws_and_whiskers]

I look forward to your daily thread of awesome photos. Thank you for all your hard work.

Prayers for all our selfless heroes!

[TADSLOS]

That strike video of the tank is just awesome!! You can see one of the Iraqi crew running up the berm right as the bomb hits it! SMACK! Welcome to Allah, MOFO!

[celtic gal]

Thanks for the amazing photos. Your pictures show more than the tv does!

[ventana]

Thanks for these shots!

Dont' thank me, thank Dio! LOL!

Dio, this is what I look for daily, thank you!

[lizma]

I believe this guy is now running the show.

Every time I see a clip of Saddam, "Weekend at Bernies" pops into my mind.

Thank you so much for all you do. After-school routine at this house has now become snack, Dio, homework.

God bless the troops.

[m1-lightning]

We need a tank to take out the statute in your last photo!

Wanna get a collection fund going and lease a cruise missile for it?

[SeenTheLight]

Thank you again!

These posts really lift the spirits!
