I heard that the car bomb that killed the IGC guy yesterday was rigged with arty shells. Sounds like that Chechnya IED video I sent you, where they blew up the passing Russian troop truck.

Well, CJTF7 had the better patch imo. Plus there's gonna be all that confusion between MNC and MND. But I like the ancient Babylonian symbols.

Good news. Also, have you all been to Boortz's site and read about the Iraq general in Falluja who is now in control? He's trying to get the bad guys to cooperate with the US coalition. 180 degree turn. Good read.

If, or better said "when", Iraq is calmed down, the liberal Dems in this country are going to be SO much fun to watch. Especially if it's on the heels of a Bush/Cheney landslide win in November!

"Explosives Delivered to Coalition Forces Near Baghdad"

"An unidentified Iraqi dropped the largest single cache, to date, of mortar rounds and triggering devices to a Task Force Baghdad base camp shortly after midnight this morning."

I know what happened, it was a mistake:

You see the troops ordered a pizza...

And there is a suicide bomber out there saying "I didn't order a Meat Topper!"

I haven't been to that site. Is this the General who told the insurgents that the US would either bomb them all to smithereens or pay to re-build their city. Their choice.??

I love that message.
