But note that they turned this great story about a true hero into a anti Dubya article.

It is a wonderful story of courage and bravery, and a shame that such brave guys don't have the right equipment at the right time.
God Bless them all.

Given fatwas, why do any articles AND ESPECIALLY FR POSTS use LAST NAMES assisting sleeper jihadies' future revenge killings?
We all must read their Koran and Haddith. Treachery and murder is commanded in muslims' "holy" scriptures - Re: Pearl and Berg.

The whining is uncalled for. They have 3 tons of armor they can add to their trucks which would still allow for 2 tons of cargo. That's enough 1/8" steel plating to protect them from SAF. An uparmored Humvee wouldn't have protected them from an RPG and would have been destroyed by the IEDs their truck was hit by -only with them inside of it. If they can't get steel plating they can grab any metal shipping container, cut it off at chest height or cut firing holes in it and mount it to the bed of the truck, with sandbags on the inside. Imo an armored 5-ton or HEMTT is safer than anything but a Stryker due to the height of the cargo beds above the ground. Many of the 5-tons I've seen on convoy security are armored as described above. Of course this article wouldn't have been complete (or wouldn't have been published) without the obligatory anti-military, anti-administration slant.

Great job Timmy Haag! A great hero.
The reporter is a dumbass though. What in God’s name is this dopey quote supposed to mean?
Mechanick is now back home, trying to adjust to a country that imagines itself not at war
Gee, we’re all too stupid. Hopefully, super-smart reporters like Michael Daly will someday be able to pound the fact that we are at war into our collectively dense skulls.
Go eff yourself, Michael.

""He knew I was going to sleep, and if you go to sleep you don't ever wake up," Mechanick said. "He's shooting at the enemy, kicking me, shooting at the enemy, kicking me: 'Sgt. Mechanick, don't you go to sleep.' Shoot a couple of rounds. Kick me. 'Sgt. Mechanick, don't you go to sleep.'" " WOW!
To: Gothmog
"Mechanick is now back home, trying to adjust to a country that imagines itself not at war ..." Are we blind ... or what?
