And all our guys thought those new camos with the flowers all over them were silly!
Dio, thanks - you're the best.
There's an awful lot of steel beam and re-bar in this two story cinderblock building. Building codes must be real strict in this part of Baghdad. [/sarcasm]
Instead of the rejoicing and pictures of the American Flag waving in Iraq, this is the story that is on today. Pentagon Briefing's at 1:30 pm est. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PRESS WILL BE ASKING ABOUT? Will Al-Jazeera tv stand up and do what they've been doing all along - ie. accusations in the form of a question (like Helen Thomas)?
I wonder what kinds of interesting tidbits were found in this. (nice job of safe cracking BTW)
Working for the U.S. Marines 24th Expeditionary Unit as an interpreter, Khuder Al-Emeri, 43, is hugged by his sister Suhila after being reunited with local villagers after 12 years, Monday, April 7, 2003, in Qal'at Sukkar, 100 kms. north of Nasariyah, Iraq. Khuder led an uprising in his village during the last gulf war and fled to the United States in fear of reprisal from Saddam Hussein's regime. He now returns in hopes of rebuilding his village.
Looks like a "circle-jerk" to me.. only the British :)
