You know how I feel about your photos and comments.

Bump for justice for the Iraqi people...

These "Soldiers" look like the homeless compared to our men.

Thanks!!! I love these threads--you do a great job with them. That photo of the U.S. soldier giving water to the Iraqi soldier is something else. It just burns me that there are so many people in the world who think Americans are awful.

Will images like this ever appear on Arabic TV? I seriously doubt it...

Probably with a caption "Infidels give water torture to brave Iraqi defender."

[Blood of Tyrants]

They might. But the explaination will be that US troops are forcing him to drink their urine or something like that.

Dio... I am just giving you as hand on posting pictures, as there are so many good ones to post. I hope you don't mind

Will images like this ever appear on Arabic TV? I seriously doubt it... Will images like this ever appear on American TV? I seriously doubt it...

The image would appear on both but the caption would change to "Iraqi soldiers forced at gunpoint to drink poison".

[astounded]

Even more important - will this image ever appear on American TV? I doubt it - they are more interested in showing pictures of anti-American "protests".

This picture of US personnel giving aid to a surrendered Iraqi soldier is, IMHO, one of the best, most important pictures ever to come out of an American campaign. I believe it should be flashed to all US media outlets, asking them, no demanding, to show it. It demonstrates everything America stands for and literally brings me to choke up and tears.

I cannot get over the selflessness of our US personnel who, while they no doubt are trained to and have to kill, also have in their hearts a true consideration for life and its sanctity. May God bless them and keep them safe.

Awesome! Thank all of you for posting the pictures.

BYE BYE SADDAM!

A Marine of the U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) Fox Company 'Raiders' removes a portrait of Iraqi's President Saddam Hussein at the entrance to Iraq's main port of Umm Qasr on March 21, 2003. US and British ground forces launched assaults into Iraq in a bid to topple Saddam Hussein.






A Marine of the U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) Fox Company 'Raiders' replaces the Iraqi flag at the entrance to Iraq's main port of Umm Qasr on March 21, 2003 with the Stars and Stripes and the flag of the Marine Corps. U.S. Marines briefly raised the Stars and Stripes flag over the new port area of Umm Qasr on Friday after facing tougher than expected resistance in and around the southern Iraq port. Some time later, Marines returned and removed the Stars and Stripes. No reason was given for the decision, but Washington has consistently stressed that invading U.S. forces want toliberate Iraq, not occupy it.

[Incorrigible]

Incredible! Compassion to enemy soldiers and civilians.

The French wouldn't even give the US soldiers water.

One More Bud, before I quit for the day... They have been releasing a bunch more

Got to admit, we're doing this the smart way!

How can that be? I thought GW was an idiot, Powell was a lackey, and Rumsfeld was nuts? < /sarcasm>

"It demonstrates everything America stands for and literally brings me to choke up and tears."

I felt the same thing!!! I can't look at that picture without feeling a lump in my throat. I am so proud to be an American right now!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you, Diogenesis...and for the ping, Linda. Awesome way to begin the day. With our troops in prayer.

Dear American soldier , Michelle Malkin says thank you for the rest of us.

[BunnySlippers]

As always, great! Bump!
