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. ========================================================================

No I’m not stating that. The Poles are there and we worked with them a lot!

Their 6th Polish ABN Brigade fought with 1AD in Karbala against Sadr. I'm not saying the Poles are not in Iraq. They run the DIV HQ for the multi-national division and have something like 3000 men there and a Grom (Spelling) Special Forces unit which conducts a lot of missions.

I wasn't being sarcastic either. The nitpicking is because MANY use our equipment. Our M4, PLGRS (GPS), body armor to NVGs and even our uniform is used by other countries. A lot of our stuff simply works real well. The Germans are going to build the M107 (Of course they’ll call it something else) themselves. After bad mouthing 5.56mm for 20 years the Germans adopted it in their new weapon the G36. In fact, their G36 is an AR18 in design. We simply spend a lot of time thinking up better ways of killing people, have lots of experience, a robust infrastructure and military design (R&D, test and evaluation and procurement) and spend about 3 times on R&D test and evaluation what Europe COMBINED spends. I sound brainwashed, but it’s simply a fact and those whose life is on the line and have the means to buy our stuff often do. The British SAS used the M4 carbine, not their own SA80! Want the best body armor out there for infantry? Buy IBA. Ever see our guys stand in the desert next to some Ausies? I like the Aussies, but their cammo is almost bright yellow and sticks out compared to our desert pattern. It looks cool, but it don’t work well. Why mention this? Because others use a lot of our equipment. Only the flag on the shoulder is certain that those are Americans and the equipment is just compounding evidence.

I kind find you pics of Polish troops in Iraq if you want them? Easy enough.

I tried to joke with you about mistaking a American sniper for a Polish sniper and not trying to diminsh Poland's contribution in the least.

But wait a minute.. I thought The United states is in Iraq all alone and that our soldiers are there to terrorize the folks there with their occupation. And that this is all about stealing oil from the people of Iraq.

That is what John Kerry and the Democrats have told me....

Seriously- I don't know of any occupying Army who has ever flown another country's flag above their own.

God bless all of our allies and those men and women who are fighting for freedom.

Hey Dems... that means ALL of them from around the world. Shame on those who spit on the allied forces and deny their sacrifices and hard work in Iraq.

Shame on you power hungry and greedy Democrats. You are not worthy of licking the boots of any single one of these soldiers or Iraqi- men ,women and children who are pictured above.

According to Kerry and the Democrats,it seems, we are going it alone over there. The real fact is that, Kerry and the Democrats are going it alone over here.

For what it worth, with God's help may we eradicate the vermin and give these people the government and country they deserve.
