An Iraqi girl answers the door when U.S. Marines arrive to deliver food in a virtually abandoned area of Fallujah, Iraq (news - web sites), Thursday, April 15, 2004. Marines and Iraqi insurgents have frequently clashed in the neighborhood in the last week and a number of families remain holed-up in their houses.(AP Photo/John Moore)

This is not meant to be a HA-HA caption, I think this is a VERY underreported story and need to be told to all.

It is a great story. On the other hand,

Tom Daschle is deeply saddened.

First you kill the infection, then you win the hearts and minds of the people.

GODSPEED MARINES
SEMPER FI
you are doing the Lord's will.

[Little Ray]

They should be starving Fallujah, not feeding it.

Is she wearing a Cami head scarf?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

What you aren't hearing from the mainstream press (imho, THEY are committing war crimes and getting our troops killed with their dangerous, misleading misreporting):

"Yesterday in Al Kharma, near Fallujah, a significant number of anti-Iraqi forces assaulted defensive Marine positions close to a residential neighborhood. Marines repelled the assault, with lethal, accurate fire. When the fighting ended, residents came outside and told the Marines that the fighters had moved into their homes recently, virtually holding them hostage. The residents were able to then move about freely in their own neighborhood and beyond." ~ CJTF-7, April 15, 2004 

 

Thank you, OXEN. YES, the story should be told.

[LadyPilgrim]

Does she have a 'camo' scarf on her head?

[LadyPilgrim]

You beat me to it.

[madison10]

Looks like it to me. Why would she have a camo scarf? New hot fashion item in Fallujah?

[Gringo1]

I'm sure at Al-Jazeera and DU they will report that the girl was gang-raped and killed, rather than given food.

Or that this was the Girl that Lcpl Budreux "knocked up" and got CAIR all bunched up in the panties.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Just as long as Lcpl. Boudreaux doesn't handle the captioning.

[LadyPilgrim]

while appreciating the photo, I can't tell exactly what's on her mind. And looks as if someone else is next to her reaching out to our soldiers.

The people who say, "I'm against the war, but I support the troops," are proven to be liars because they DO NOT talk about all the great things our troops are doing to rebuild Iraq and help the people.

This message needs to be pounded home every time you hear someone say that. Ask them, "Why don't I hear you telling about all the great things the troops, who you CLAIM to support, are doing for the people of Iraq?" (If you feel bold, you might say, "You don't want to mention this good news, because you don't want President Bush to get any credit for it. You like to claim that President Bush lied to get us into the war, but then you tell your own bald-faced lie when you say that you support the troops. If you supported the troops, you would be quick to tell about all the good things the they're doing in Iraq.")

[madison10]

She looks apprehensive. Our guys probably look overbearing even when handing out food.

[Vic3O3]

Semper Fi, Marines!

[Esther Ruth]

All she needs to do is look into the eyes of an American and she will see a difference, the difference, between freedom and oppression and fear. She will see something so different and know that what we have in America and what we are bringing them is SO good! The eyes say so much, she is searching in them for something she can place her hope in!
