Don't know if this has been posted yet.

Here is the site. Many many great pictures.

Here's a few of my fav.

Don't know if this is a good or bad thing....

Looks like a whole bunch of the REAL THING going down in Iraq - great pics.

Especially appreciate G.I. Joe's love note to Hollywood - refreshing!

One final "Superman" shot:

Shut down all the trash compactors on the detention level

Yep, that certainly fits.
And that's a good photo...with the converging lines, it's about as good as some
of those "industrial arts" style photos of the 1920-30s.

I also like the one portrait of some kids, with the young girl most prominent.
Not quite the famed staring Afghan girl of National Geographic fame...but the
photographer is doing too good for guvmint work!

And my title for the candygram of post 66...
"Just one shot, Nick"
or
"One Shot, Multiple Kills"

it has a heart shape and then I think says "101st Air Assault". Maybe someone can enhance it for us.

I think it says "We (or "I" love (heart shape) 101st Air Assault"

Re:"I think it says "We (or "I" love (heart shape) 101st Air Assault"

I think you're right:

Just a ping...these photos don't quiet have the vintage of your photos...but I thought
you might be interested, as more than a few are just about National Geographic quality.
(PS: Heard you on Duffy yesterday)

Re: Sobering

[stlnative]

Thanks...! (pretty funny!)

[Happy2BMe]

Here ya go Buddie - hope this helped!

(One thing is for sure - Dan Rather will NEVER let you see anything positive like this on 60 Minutes!)

Arabs despise dogs. Saving that dog will just enrage them more. :(

[Rebelbase]

That's it.

Sobering

Those photos are sobering, but they are something that must be in the mix.

Yep - those Hussein boys sure did love American "candy" now, didn't they!

[ChadGore]

That pic of our boys saving that little pooch says volumes of the compassion and humanity of Americans.

The French and Germans have no clue!
