Many of yiu mat have read the dec.21 report obout weapons found in Iraq.It was reported over 1000 rockets found, My son is the Lt. quoted in the story. He called us yesterday for Chistmas and told me the rest of the story. Although he could not tell me all the details over the phone,he did tell me at the time the reporter was there and he wrote the story it was the first day of four days of digging and only a small portion of what was found was reported, turns out over 12000 lbs. of explosive were found, it was the largest cache found in the last two years. The info was gathered from a Iraqi informent. the citizens and the milatary in that area are safer today due to that find then before. Less explosives =less IED's
God grant that he brought home safe and sound to you all.
Squantos, thought you would be interested in this...12,000+ pounds of your kind of work! Somebody's going to be busy!

Lots of UOD work going on over there these last few years. Saddam had ammassed a lot of ordinance...and our freinds in France, Germany, Russia, and elsewhere had been supplying all the more for years, even after Desert Storm.
All of that is the fuel for the terrorists/Ba'athists IED program that is killing our people.
