I always get excited when viewing posts with pictures that are from Iraq. A very close family friend is in Iraq and I carefully look at every photo hopeing to catch a glimpse of my friend. No luck so far, but I'm not disappointed either. I will keep looking and I will pray that every single soldier comes home safe and sound.

I think the U.S. Military in Iraq should take any pictures of Iraqis stomping on burnt out U.S. vehicles and post their faces and a reward around town. $ for a name, $+ for an address, and $++ for information that would lead to their conviction. I think an "Falluja's Most Wanted" would be awesome. I'm sick of types of cruds dancing around on our equipment.

Nice Mauser, wish they could be brought back here. At first I thought it was a K98k but the barrel looks too long, and it has a bent bolt so it's not a 98/22. Hmmmmmm? Maybe a Turk?

Great post! Terrific!

Why doesn't the WH or the Pentagon bring this to us (especially to the Dems) so that we can all see the successes in Iraq.

I'd bet that we don't want to mess with Gebphart, Kerry and Daschle who would say,

"I am saddened. Deeply saddened."

One reason is because the Pentagon does not have push technology to force this into your living room the way the NYT and CNN do.

OTOH, many of these same or similar pics are available on the military websites. Two good starting points are www.defenselink.mil and www.defendamerica.mil.

So where was the B52? or Spectre? or Moab? or Hellfire?

Inquiring minds want to know
 
Sir, I do not understand so many things. I am coming rapidly to the place where an "October Surprise" is not going to make a difference as I am concerned about certain things. We need to close the door on this business. I have no real interest in elections. I only care about my life, my family, my friends, my neighbors, my associates, my country, humanity, and truth, justice, and freedom.
 
You do good things out here, and I again thank you for it!

RE:

" I'm sick of types of cruds dancing around on our equipment."

It's high time that as soon as casualties have been evacuated from the scene, that an air-strike be called in to poop a few of these "Watch the American humvee burn and throw rocks at it" Block Parties.

Sure, it'll offend the Mullahs.
Of course, the UN will be outraged.
Naturally, Dan Rather and the Democrats will get their knickers in a twist.

Bugger 'em all; Just DO IT!!

Anyone who considers the death or wounding of an American as cause for celebration ain't on the side of Liberation, now, are they?

Just in case anyone forgot:

"Enemy" = "Fair Game".

The sooner we kill 'em all, the sooner we get to come home!

Any questions?

Nice Mauser, wish they could be brought back here. At first I thought it was a K98k but the barrel looks too long, and it has a bent bolt so it's not a 98/22. Hmmmmmm? Maybe a Turk?

Too pretty, the Turkish modelo O3s are mostly pretty rough. It appears to have the characteristic finger grooves under the rear sight common to thr Czech VZ-24 M98/29 Brno-built *Persian Brunner* rifles. There was also a brutal little 18-inch barrelled carbine version , admittedly handy for a horseman, but rough on the poor pony's ears.

The Iranians use the MG42 as their MG, so it makes sense that the rifle and MG from the same source, which both share the 7,92x57mm Mauser cartridge, would be tofgether. Question is, were the weapons captured from the Persians during the decade-long Iraq-Iran War, or were they very recently supplied by the Iranians for the specific purpose of killing American troops.
