==Bagram, Afghanistan ==

In Bagram, 764th EOD Co. (Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company) Army soldiers
are still destroying unexploded Russian-made RPG-7 rocket propelled grenades.

---

In Bagram, at the runway there is bad weather.

---

==Kabul, Afghanistan ==

In Kabul, surveillance by SF and disdain by local forces as
Iran's Khatami visits.
This was the first visit to Afghanistan by an Iranian head of state in 40 years.
Why? To accuse the "Great Satan" (a.k.a. the United States of America)
of responding to 911 and defining the Axis of Evil.

---

In Kabul, all people are free, but some are "freer than others".
Men can swim, but women remain burq'd.

---

==Kabul, Afghanistan ==

In Kabul, the French taught the 2nd Battalion of the Afghan National Army.
Graduation ceremonies at the Kabul Military Academy, 8/14/02.

---

== Kandahar, Afghanistan ==

In Kandahar, the Red Cross takes time from scamming Americans (who
thought their money was going to the victims of 911 but was given to Taliban
freed from jails in Afghanistan and was used for new computers and other
selfserving uses) to comfort families of terrorists being questioned in Guantanamo.
The Red Cross acts as lawyer, comforter and protector of the terrorists when
it is not helping its sister the Red Crescent move or hide weapons for terrorists.

---

==Bethlehem, Israel ==

In Bethlehem, the IDF finally demolished a few terrorists' homes.

The murderer-terrorist Issa Bdeir murdered two Israelis in a group
of innocent elderly Russian immigrants playing cards in Rishon Letzion, 5/22/02.
Check out the sign which says, ''The lawyer Abed Rabbo Bdeir,
civil and legal, a Masters degree in legal science
and criminology, from the American University of Wisconsin.''.

---

== Tel Aviv, Israel ==

In Tel Aviv, at the Barghouti murder trial, Marwan Barghouti,
CEO of Terrorist Arafat's Fatah takes a suggestion from lawyer
and acts out. Charges against him include murder, attempted murder
and involvement with terrorist organizations.

---

== Ein Shemer, Israel ==

Near Ein Shemer, the IDF has begun to deploy a second battery of Arrow anti-missile missiles.

---

== Gaza ==

In Gaza, Palestinian terrorists revel in murder.

---

== Ramallah ==

In Ramallah, Terrorist Arafat is enabled by the UN envoy.
That he stole more than 1 billion dollars for his personal use, or that
he has murdered Israelis, Americans, and other innocent people of many
nationalities is of no concern to the UN.

---

== Jerusalem, Israel ==

In Jerusalem, Israel, at Israel's Supreme Court, the lawyer for three relatives
of Palestinian terrorists, got the Court to block the expulsion to the Gaza Strip
of those who help murderers before-the-fact. The Court gave
the Israeli government 15 days to explain further.

---

In Jerusalem, Orthodox Jews and Christian fundamentalists from six continents
march in support of Israel.

---

== Ein el-Hilweh, Lebanon ==

Near Sidon, Lebanon, at Ein el-Hilweh, Arafat's Fatah
(here the Palestinian Armed Struggle)
clashed with other Islamic terrorists, the Lebanese wanted Dinnieh group and their protectors from Jamaat al-Nour.
Two dead terrorists and seven wounded. A good start.

---

"We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or rest."

President George W. Bush, September 20, 2001

====

== Remembrance: Victims and Heroes ==

In Jerusalem, at the Mount of Olives, at the ceremony dedicated to Rehavam Zeevi, a previous
victim of homocidal murderers.

---

Unquestionable Hero Sgt. 1st Class Christopher J. Speer, 28, of Albuquerque, N.M.,
died last week of wounds received 7/27/02 in Afghanistan.

END OF TRANSMISSION 8/15/02 .......... K

[Diogenesis]

Bump for Success against terrorists.

[MinorityRepublican]

Don't forget the Americans are still dying in Afghanistan!

[Diogenesis]

May they be safe.

Dont forget why the US is there.

[CanadianFella]

Which rifle is that?

[colorado tanker]

Thanks, Dio. Another riveting set of photos!

[TADSLOS]

Looks like a toy to me.

[eureka!]

Bump, with continuing thanks, D...

[Britton J Wingfield]

Some sort of AR-15 based rifle.

[VaBthang4]

The Progress of Islam

[AdA$tra]

M-4 Carbine anti-terrorist version of the M-16.

http://www.colt.com/colt/html/a2f_lawenforcement.html#m4carbine

[Britton J Wingfield]

Looks real to me, but goofy. The magazine release and charging handle look real, so does the ejection port(though it has no cover). Some sort of big sight rail on top.

[Dogrobber]

I don't think that is a Colt variant. It follows the pattern of the Colt, but bear in mind that there are a number of non-standard (and probably unlicensed) manufacturers of Colt pattern rifles in the world. The parts are easy to get and the hard part is the manufacture of the receiver. You can do that with some relatively simple dies and an aluminum casting machine. Presto, you have an arms plant.

I don't think that is a Colt because the sight rail is wrong, the forend is wrong (not Colt) and I can't see a forward assit device.

[AdA$tra]

I was just going by size and shape. I guess it would be a knockoff of the M-4 then. I knew there were tons of versions of all the AR-15 variations.

[AdA$tra]

Also noticed it was the only one of it's genre in the picture, the rest look like AK's.

[Selara]

Thanks again.

[Notforprophet]

Bump for amazing photos and a great job Diogenesis.

[11B3]

Thanks Dio - excellent as always. Photos like this one below make you wish for a really strong EMP burst overhead to set these losers off a little early.

Go ahead, tough guy - let's see you do it. If you want to be a martyr, be our guest. DIE PALI SCUM!

[11B3]

Seeing those RPG-7s going off kinda reminds me of the Bedouins in the Sinai when I was there - those crazy a@@holes would use them for fence posts to keep their camels nearby. Every time we'd see one of them start pounding on one of them we'd duck behind the bunker.

[MissAmericanPie]

What a loss, what a wonderful example of America. Not one of them over there was worth a hair on his head.

[Endeavor]

Thanks for the photos and info. May God bless Chris Speer's family and friends. Thank you, soldier.

[kayak]

Thank you so much for these threads!!! You do an awesome job!

[PokeyJoe]

This is the Matel Toy Islaminazi CAP GUN special, $14.95 at WalMart, complete with plastic flashlight scope. Take special note on the stock, behind the breach. This is the location where one would insert the CAP. A real AR-15 carbine would have a large lever that you can unlock and pull back to clear the breach - but this model you just swivel open, insert your CAP, close it, pull the trigger and BANG - you imagine your enemies are dead.

Also notice the classic "my finger is on the trigger" method of grasping the weapon. This is someone who would be an easy target for a professional soldier.

Get's back to the old Marine song "This is my rifle, this is my gun - this one's for kill'n, this one's for fun".

[Salman]

Not Lebanese, Syrian, or otherwise an Arab. I wonder if he's an American?

[stumpy]

The Israelis should drop a daisy cutter on one of these processions of armed terrorists. Remove the threat before they can act.

[CanadianFella]

clearly he's an ancient "palestinian", that fiction of a people composed mostly of egyptians, yemenites, syrians and muslim bosnians.

[PokeyJoe]

FBI: Does the "Nation of Islam" recruit for the intifada? If so, can we have that organization declared a terrorist organization and take their money?

[Cindy]

[Cindy]

CORRECTION: "Don't forget why the US is there." (re: post #28)

[P8riot]

Not Lebanese, Syrian, or otherwise an Arab. I wonder if he's an American?

Looks like Alan Iverson to me.

[WaterDragon]

Thank you for the photo of our fallen hero, Dio.

It is absurd that these terrorists are allowed normal citizen rights in any Israeli or American court. They should be tried in military courts and shot forthwith.

I'm so proud of Israel for deporting the families of the terrorists and razing their houses. There has to be a painful penalty for anyone who supports terrorism.

[Calpublican]

There just isn't enough chlorine to induce me to jump in that pool. I'd stay burq'd too.

As far as the Red Double-Cross. They've always been sneaky. Ask any vet.

[Kermit]

In the Lebanon segment, there appears to be two black guys. In the second picture down, the guy kneeling with the baseball hat on backwards and then in the 5th and 6th pictures down, the chunky guy 'helping' the fallen guy, look black to me. What are they doing in Lebanon in a gang fight?

[Kermit]

Look at his ring. Mean anything?

Check out tubby in the pictures below this guy. He looks black to me.

[Humidston]

Just once I'd like to see a bomb dropped right in the middle of a group of marching Islamists. Right smack in the middle of those foaming maniacs with the rags on their heads. I'd like to see body parts flying and those smirks change to terror, just as they realize they're dying.

Ok. Call me a bomb-thrower. I reserve the right to my own private fantasy. And thanks for the good pictures again.

[Humidston]

I don't think that's a ring... It looks to me like part of that belt thingy on his gun. Maybe where it connects to the stock?

[crystalk]

Given the name Christopher in 1974 as it would appear, his parents probably had little idea that their son would live up to, ie earn, his name by venturing into the very heart of the Islamic darkness in this world.

The name is Christopher, "Christ-bearer."

This was also the name taken by Columbus when he ventured into a Christless half-world in 1492.

[crystalk]

The thinner black man looks like a west-african to me, but the fat man may just be a somewhat Negroid-looking Semite, but on the other hand certain Yemenites and even Saudi Arabs do look part-Negro too...

[crystalk]

Also haven't we had about enough of the Red Cross opposing the USA at every turn? Why don't we have THAT declared a terrorist organization, or at least deny it any tax exemption for US donations.

[Dogrobber]

The more I think about it (and remember), it might be of Phillipines manufacture.

[Salman]

He looks black to me. Of course he's black. But what's his nationality? He looks well fed enough to be American, but he could be any of a number of things. But not Arab.

[syriacus]

Thank you, Diogenesis. A terrific education via pictures and words, as always.
