Eh Seda, fangoula tu.

Boy are you right about that PR battle in the homeland. The 'mainstream' press is really going all out to demoralize our troops and our efforts in Iraq


The mainstream press a.k.a. "the left wing attack machine".

Even Fox and Friends has been horrible this weekend.

[Ben Chad]

Fox and Friends is horrible every weekend.

How about the Poles, who let an ammunition storage site be overun by Iraquis and then blew the whole thing up, "insurgents" and all. Ooops! Don't know how that happened . . . . we had no way of knowing they were there . . . . Ha!

Y'know, this is amazing and shows you the media bias that's out there (or maybe just my ignorance)...I honestly did not know Italy even HAD troops in Iraq, much less an entire 3,000-man battalion!

They must be yet another imaginary member of that imaginary "fraudulent coalition" that JF'nK says we have. Oh, that's right, according to most Rats, if they aren't wearing blue berets and let by a Bangladeshi general, they don't count!

We're talking about the guys whose grandfathers held the Third Reich to a potential stalemate in September 1939 before Uncle Joe stabbed them in the back.

They never forgot that dishonor. I like them because they have reason to show they have something to prove.

Italian soldiers of the US-led coalition destroyed the office of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr in this southern Iraqi town, a day after Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi visited the contingent.

Residents said the Italians used explosive charges to level the building at dawn in the wake of bloody clashes between Sadr's banned Mehdi Army militia and coalition forces.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Premier Berlusconi, rallying our Italian allies!

[F14 Pilot]

I do Love Italian troops. Grazie!

[Happy2BMe]

"Italian troops destroy radical Shiite cleric's office in Nasiriyah."

Wonderful!

My only regret is that Moqtada Sadr wasn't found in pieces on the floor of the rubble.

Moqtada Sadr ping.

"Fox and Friends is horrible every weekend"

If that Jullian (sp?) fellow leans more to the left, he will fall out of his chair!

[TrueBeliever9]

FOX & Friends is HORRIBLE EVERY WEEKEND! The three stooges - Julia is a moron, the gay guy is missing a few neurons and the black is asleep with his eyes half open! I keep saying "Is this the best FOX can come up with for a weekend crew????"

Loved it!

[Larry Lucido]

Bravo! Have one on me, guys.

[Larry Lucido]

Hmm. Let's see if I can come up with something better than a red "x".

FYI: 40 countries - 24,000 troops aside from ours. John F'n Kerry: " "I think this is a failure of diplomacy, a failure of foreign policy, a failure of creative leadership," he said. "

I'm mentally begging Kerry to swear he'll move to france, germany, russia or china. Please.

Thanks for the bump and the pics! I'm collecting a bunch for a guy whose ping list rivals JohnHuang2's but for non-FReepers. ;-)
