These photos are absolutely awesome, thank you! When did Poland start participating?

[wizzler]

Many brave photographers

Wow, I can't believe I'm actually reading this at Free Republic! I thought all journalists sucked, blah blah blah...

[InShanghai]

A picture says a thousand words... you've written a book! Once again, my hat off to you - excellent post!

Thank you !! . . .

[redbaiter]

Absolutely outstanding, many thanks to you. Wish I understood these pictures better. What is that boxy wheeled thingie they're lifting with the Chinook? and are those guns Paladins? I find the whole undertaking just astonishing and overwhelming.

Can anyone point me to more info about the Polish soldiers and how they came to be involved and what they're up to?

[ChemistCat]

Oh, too bad, what was it?

[kayak]

Thank you so much for the work you put into posting this thread!!!

You know these Special 'Rotundian' Guard troops must be Baath party hacks.

I'm curious as to exactly what this dolphin is trained to do and what the piece of equipment on its right forefin is. I know we train them to find mines and such, which is great, but I'm curious about exactly how they do it. What do they do when they find a mine? Let us know? Anyone have details on this?

Apparently not all of them are starving.

You know, it could be argued that carpet bombing (or fire bombing, or A-bomb dropping) is the only way to win their hearts and minds.

[RedlegCPT]

No they are M198's

I share your disgust with the way Iraqi's are treating our honorable solders. I keep expecting human beings to not sink below a certain level, but I'm always proven wrong.

Sorry if it's a dumb question but on the map... what's "green line" mean? Do you know?

[Gumption]

Sorry Justice, I meant that for Diogenesis. Pardon me.

[Diogenesis]

The green line is line between the Kurdish-controlled part of northern Iraq and the remainder of Iraq.
