Taking the tape off his chest would have earned John Kerry his fourth (and most fiercely deserved) Purple Heart.

That looks more like a grave to me.

Here are the same clouds shown yesterday through night vision with streamers radiating from a point. These clearly result from a ground explosion, not air origin.

Nice of the salamikazes to dig their own graves. Sort of ironic that they think this trench will protect them from air attack, which is what they're going to see before our guys come traipsing around the corner....

Big machine gun...Actually it is an M242 25mm chain gun.
To: Recon by Fire
The 25mm M242 Bushmaster cannon used on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and a variety of land and sea vehicles. The Marine Corps carries this weapon on the Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) while the Navy carries it on many of its ocean-going vessels to deal with small attack craft. The M242 25mm "Bushmaster" Chain Gun, manufactured by McDonnell Douglas, has a single barrel with an integrated dual-feed mechanism and remote ammunition selection. Either armor piercing (AP) or high explosive (HE) ammunition may be selected with the flick of a switch. The Gunner may select from single or multiple shot modes. The standard rate of fire is 200 rounds per minute, and has a range of 2,000 meters (depending on the ammunition used). A wide range of ammunition has been developed for this weapon, making it capable of defeating the majority of armored vehicles it is likely to encounter, up to and including some main battle tanks.

I think you have hit on a way for us to defeat the insurigants... send a bunch of goverment regulators over there to fine them for poor labor and workmanship.... it would bring them to a standstill for days! :)

Why are we taking prisoners? As a taxpayer and former NYer who still lived there on 9/11/01, I do not wish to pay for their care and up-keep, only to have them be released at some future date to resume their jihad. I do not wish to place temptation in front of some GI, still anguished over the loss of a comrade in arms. Especially while some ignorant MSM PO$ with a camera is around
Send them ALL into the arms of the virgins.

Almost looks like a Japanese knee motar, used in WWII. They used them quite effectively, but they were smaller then the one is this picture.

I'm glad you posted pictures of the good guys. An AP photograper is with the insurgents. If you go on Yahoo, you can see the pics of the insurgents firing upon American troops. This photographer is within a few FEET of these guys and he's taking pictures of them firing weapons at OUR troops!
To: Mr. Lucky
Also, I wonder if the guy in the light colored pants behind him could have gotten them any baggier, these clowns are going down. I hope our casulties are kept to a minimum.

Compare the courage of our boys in grave danger with the whining, bearded double-latte liberals throughout the US.
No comparison.
To: Pyro7480
The sight of a string of rosary beads and the Crucifix hung about the barrel of a machine gun is shocking but let us not confuse transient emotional responses with the realities of a properly formed Christian conscience. A gun is a tool of war, yes, but war is not an inherently unchristian thing; a just war which this conflct certainly is is an act of charity, and as such should be fought with a solemn, optimistic good spirit, not with distaste.
War is a dreadful thing, and I can respect an honest pacifist, though I think he is entirely mistaken. What I cannot understand is this sort of semi-pacifism you get nowadays which gives the people the idea that though you have to fight, you ought to do it with a long face as if you were ashamed of it. C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
A Christian soldier should no more feel gloomy or ashamed while doing his job than a Christian surgeon feels while doing his: both men shed blood, and both are doing good.
