Not that while Zinni's mouth is smiling, kinda sorta, his eyes are not. I think he's pretty disgusted with the little toad, and would just love to rip off his head and Pi$$ down his neck, USMC style. But being a good trooper, and having orders, he's trying hard to grin and bear it. I would love to be a fly on the wall when he makes his report to the President and SecState.

Since the old terrorist is wearing something resembling a military uniform, and calling himself "General" these days, I think Zinni sould have taken his uniform and stars out of retirement, just for this occasion. See how much lip General Arafat dares to give USMC General Zinni. Not much I'd expect, especially if that uniform (BDUs of course) included a pistol belt and holster, with a 1911A1 or an H&K USP stuffed into the holster, with the flap unfastened of course. Zinni still has the obligatory Jarhead haircut I see.

I'll sum up the premise in my words: "They have been infiltrated".
Belgim is now 10% Muslim.
The U.K. is now 7% Muslim.
(IIRC) France is now 4% Muslim.
As Prager put it, probably the one religion actually followed "religiously" in Western Europe IS ISLAM.

Europe needs a latter-day Ferdinand and Isabella, and I'm not talking about a need to sponsor exploration.

Thanks for the pictures. They are great as always.

Let me give you a little background on the one IDF soldier taking an aim with his M-4[M-16] near what looks like a white TV truck. The sight acts like a headsup display where a red dot is projected onto the large glass disc. It was invented by a dentist that made the prototype in some spare space at his clinic. While the drilling, cutting and grinding was going on for the sight, I always wondered what his patient's must have thought when they heard the noise. It's called a C-More sight.

As an American I take great offense at your attempt to equate what we are doing in Afghanistan under the name "Operation Enduring Freedom" with the Israeli re-occupation of Palestinian land. It is an affront to our brave soldiers, sailors and airmen who are truly fighting in Operation Enduring Freedom. Just yesterday my government voted in the U.N. Security Council to condemn this re-occupation by the Israelis. Yet today you try to link the two very dissimilar military operations as if they were sanctioned by President Bush under the name Operation Enduring Freedom.

Someone help me post, I've got some great picks from Afghanistan. I've also got a really cool video clip of one of OSB"s training facilities going away in a BIG ball of fire and smoke.

I noticed the exact same thing about Zinni's eyes. They look very angry/determined. I think there was some forethought in the decision to make a General the Mid-East envoy vs a diplomat.

A small can of green spray paint is probably the hottest item around. IDF could do a gun buy-back program offering paint for guns. All cynicism aside, thank you for bringing the pix to us. You are right, the media only spends time complaining about how IDF treats themselves! They have become clowns over there.

LOL! Michael Savage calls her Ashley Minefield. A caller to his show tonight called her Ashley Talibanfield. She's just a loser trying to be so dramatic thinking she's a star. A falling star! She thinks she is the show and not the action going on.

Great pictures today Diogenesis. Somehow those mobs don't appear quite as intimidating anymore. It all seems to be by rote.

Don't you just love the look on Zinni's face, he'd rather be anywhere else on earth.
