Photos from Iraq (the mass-media forgot) These are some of the best photos thus far.
numerous ^ | 2004

Posted on 12/01/2004 12:58:53 AM PST by M. Espinola

The majority in the mass-media only wish the general public to view the chaos, evil & even tragic deaths of Coalition troops caused by Islamic terrorists via 'homicide' car bombings, triggered by demented, death driven mad men. Free Iraqis are also putting their lives on the line everyday in their brave service in the Iraqi Army & police forces. It's high time the public is shown Coalition forces for all the various humanitarian assistance they have been offering the normal freedom loving people of Iraq. The very real sacrifice Coalition troops are making every day of the week will be shown here frequently. If there are those which would like to pool photo research just drop me a line. ========================================================================

AHA! These pictures are proof that Iraq is a quagmire. Look at all that hope on the Iraqi people's faces and the bright innocence in the children's eyes. It's tragic I tell you.

Not seeing this in the MSM is one reason that dan blaTHer and tom brokejaw (and hopefully peta jennings) are going to retire. Won't break my heart. Don't watch the MSM anyway.

"What's the significance of "FOB Kalsu"? That's a familiar name to some of us."

well, I'll be d-mned.
Some good soul(s) remembered. (see end of 1st paragraph)
Too bad the writers at Sports Illustrated and some d-mned Yankees (said with
much love by VOA) are the best promoters of Kalsu...the only pro athlete killed in
the Vietnam War.
Probably the initial group posted to the area:105th Military Police Company
(Buffalo, New York)

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iraq/iskandariyah.htm

If/When I get the time, I'm gonna' "drill down" Yahoo and find out more about
the 105th Military Police Company.
I get the feeling that some Okies need to send somebody in Buffaloe, NY a bit of thanks.

Ping for the Dutch Special Forces...check it out.

They may need that Jihadist combat training for when they get home!

I think it is very important to note the smiling faces on the children. We are making a very strong effort to help the children and they will remember us for our kindness. We may continue to have trouble with their fathers and uncles, but at least we have the next generation to look forward to, unlike in Pakistan where the orphans are taken in by the radicals and taught to hate Westerners.
