I received a note from Michael Yon today:

Greetings on this Independence Day.

When you see the fireworks and hear the booms, please imagine as well the sounds of jets and helicopters, and occasional screams, and you'll have at least some idea of how it sounds here at times.

Please read "Bless the Beasts and Children." A warning to those with children: some of the photographs in this dispatch may be too graphic for young ones.

God Bless America.

Thanks for posting. Michael Yon reports on Iraq like true journalists should be reporting, the reality of it.

Reporting doesn’t get any better than this.

Yon does a wonderful job of telling a terrible story. Thank you.

Sobering.

Must read for FReepers following the WOT...

Yon’s report is a grim reminder of the true nature of these heartless Islamofascist bastrads.

Be sure to read this one, and also Wretchard’s posting on it. It is also interesting to compare Wretchard’s post on the Glasgow event. Interesting, but troubling connections . . .

Reporter Yon operates on the tip jar at his blog, btw.

Bless the Beasts and the children... Sounds like the name was taken from an old 1971 anti-hunting movie.

It’s a Carpenter’s song:

***It’s a Carpenter’s song:***

From 1971 to promote the movie.

Maybe, but I am sure that is what he was thinking of when he put the title on the article.

This presentations should be sent to every Dem in both Houses and to Bush for that matter and some Pub Rinos.

A MUST read from Michael Yon .. God bless our indomitable troops and their Iraqi partners. Graphic photos .. the handiwork of despicable beasts who don’t deserve to walk this earth.
