the good news just keeps coming. Chem weapons found, Chem Ali dead, 2 palaces occupied by our guys, Sadam & Sons dead. I'm just really looking forward to Al-Hassan's media spin tomorrow. I hope the MP's cuff him on camera.

Ward said the two men had no idea their unit was long gone, and at first had insisted on remaining in the desert after getting fresh food and water.

LOL, man you gotta love these two guys. Reminds me of Joe and Willy from days gone by.

Out-FReepin-Standing!

After a week in the desert, out of food and water, all they wanted to do was tank up, restock, and get back of the business of kicking *ss!

God, I love our troops!

The men, identified by the Marines as a Sgt. Johnson and a Sgt. Jones of the 3rd Infantry Division, could not be reached for comment.

*Rolling my eyes*
