Why, there is more than just American soldiers in them and everybody knows the whole world is against this war </sarcasm>

I am truly humbled by the Men and Women that make up our Coalition Forces.

May God Bless them and keep them safe as they bring the fight to the enemies of Freedom.

Godspeed to all of them...

It's a man's life in the Iraqi Police forces.

Thanks for posting these beautiful pictures. It's wonderful to see the "bribed and coerced" as they really are. Screw the media!

Great pix.

Seeing those troops with the children, and the smiles and interactions, is beautiful. Contrast that with the horrid pix of the aftermath at Beslan, and we see the distinction between Western civilization's military and Islamofanaticism.
