Thanks again, that's them.

And now, #19 is loading, which IMHO was best of the lot.

It's amazing how well things are going over there. Which is why the MSM never talks about Afghanistan anymore.

One priority should be to kill ASAP that miserable b****** who announced a "jihad" against US forces. Then announce, "next!"

Perhaps the "Quagmire Crowd" expects us to encounter the "Winter Warlock?"

From this site:

Philly Talk Radio Archives

"One of our readers, Jack, is in Special Ops in Afghanistan and brought these pictures back. As you wolf down that third hamburger I remind all of you again this year to remember there are guys like Jack are out there for us."

More pictures than this and commentary on the site.

A buddy was just telling me some war stories of his tour in Afghanistan. He was there for most of the big stuff that went on.

My prayers are with our guys that they will prevail and vanquish the enemy remnant. That means to kill them.

Lightening Freedom sounds like a weight loss program.

Lightning Freedom sounds like a rapid military operation.

haha! The misspell was the first thing my eye went to as well! :^D

From the Commie News Network article:

The U.S. military said Saturday that it hoped the new push, dubbed Lightning Freedom, would convince insurgents to accept an amnesty pushed by President Hamid Karzai to help stabilize the country and allow foreign troops to pull back.

I think it's just a typo/spelling error by the poster. No biggie. :^)

Give 'em HE**, men!!!

I agree go get e'm, but don't stop at the Paki. border. If they have a hot trail, follow it to the end. Let the chips fall where they may, just get osama dip s_ _ _ t!

The two words are often misused.

Affirmative on the poster's misspelling; article shows Lightning Freedom.

Of course, if we were to lighten each al Qaeda combatant by head removal it would be cost effective (reduce recidivism)--and dampen that whole Abu Ghraib/X-Ray thingie which so delights the asslicking press.
