For the little bit of news that comes out of the 101st I think the press has gotten the message that they are not wanted with them. :)

Clearly OBL, the Taliban and Saddam are the ones in a quagmire.

Next on the list; militant islam in Asia and the Saudi Royal Family.

Are they all throwing the bird?

Methinks they are taking an oath.

Of course, this was probably followed closely thereafter by a "rigid middle digit salute."

Thanks for the ping, Tom. Great to see the troops standing up to the enemy press.

We were paying attention.

I don't remember this cool picture. No wonder the press missed the story. Probably took one look at the heroes who chose to stay and ran the other way. (^;

They should continue to refer to all of these places as "Saddam's palaces"...

Its on par with a taunt referring to unmentionables with someone else's wife.

Except its all true....
