"Well worth the wait to load these pictures............"

I fully agree!
Thanks, Dio! Great pics once again!

Ya know, I get the warm fuzzies looking at pics of our guys doing their thing, but I just don't feel it for the Iraqi people.
I don't trust them.
I think they'd kiss us while they reached around with a knife to slit our throats if it was to their interests.
Call me a cynic....

[PureSolace]

Dio! Ya came back just in time my friend! God Bless America!

[Crowcreek]

Thank Jim Robinson ! 8^)

[GWfan]

Thank you for these pictures.

I just happened to pick up that rag Newsweak this morning. My F-I-L always renews a subscription for us even though I told him it is a rag. I think now he may want me to see what the enemy within is up to. Anyway, on nearly every page there was a derrogatory comment or cartoon about the administration or some anti-American activity glorified. It put me in a very bad mood, and then I saw your ping.... :)

Your thread is a breath of fresh air, I again thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[Lady Jag]

The photos are heartwarming and your maps are fabulous. Keep up the good work; it is highly prized.

[LibKill]

Dio, you totally rock!

[Diogenesis]

Thanks. All praise should go to President Bush and the troops.

[JungNYFreeper]

HI :) Thank you for your kindness! Actually that is the begining of my last name. I am of Swedish heritage, J's promounced as Y's and W's as V's!!! LOL. Sound familiar??

W's as V's.............yessssssssss!!!

10,000 Svedes vent thru de veeds, chasing 1 Norvegian, 10,000 Svedes.....lol

[southerngrit]

You've done it again, Dio.

I don't have adequate words to express what your daily threads mean to me. "Thank You" seems so inadequate!

[DollyCali]

Well I could see followers of Carl Jung ( of which I am one ) would like Freepers...

Now we can only await the Sweedish jokes ???????

[Victoria Delsoul]

Terrific photos, Diogenesis. Thanks so much for posting them.

"Pictures the liberal-communist-fascist media do NOT want you to see."

They may have been on to something. I don't think I wanted to see the early pictures. This village moron and the guys ambling along arm in arm doing the fiddler on the roof dance made me feel really embarrassed for them. Abject in your face lesson 101 on how not to disguise the humiliation they always claim to experience. I have news on that one. It's true. These pictures by and large haven't helped the cause. These men look like the wandering village pariahs and halfwits set upon the hapless troops.

In other words I'm guessing grassfire.net would have this guys name in a scoutmaster reject database.

[Darksheare]

Umm.. NO.
That's a sniper rifle she's got there.

[Darksheare]

The bunker defeat munition looks awfully alot like the M-134 AT4....

Probably because it's a spinoff on the design.
(Kinda like the Brits finding that their anti-tank manportable Milan[?] can destroy bunkers real good during the Falkland Islands war.)

[FreedomPoster]

Good choice. ;-)

[EricT.]

A little tidbit for those who don't know: It is an insult to merely show the bottom of your shoe in Arab culture. This guy is doing the equivilent of spitting on Saddam's face.

[Darksheare]

I know.
Don't want to be the idiot sap on the receiving end of that thing.
