On this Day in History
1805 U.S. Marines launch assault on shores of Tripoli; the U.S. had assembled the expeditionary force in the Mediterranean to put down Barbary Coast pirates raiding American merchant ships; the first verse of the Marines' Hymn recalls the battle:
"From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli."

Iraqi soldiers, under the supervision of U.S. soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery, train on an obstacle course on Monday during a Military Transition Team boot camp at Forward Operating Base Q-West near Quayarrah, Iraq.

Troop, you are going nowhere in this Army until you put on a few pounds.

Command Sgt. Maj. Jeffrey Mellinger, a member of the Multi-National Forces Iraq, on Monday presents the command sergeant major coin to Sgt. Andre McKenzie, 26, of Bronx, N.Y., on Monday for excellence in training Iraqi soldiers at Forward Operating Base Q-West near Quayarrah, Iraq.

After receiving a coin, the Sarge was then eligible for the real competition.

Hey Sarge, I dropped my helmet, do I still qualify?



Col. Thomas J. Keough, the operations group commander for the Niagara Falls, N.Y.-based 107th Air National Guard refueling wing, does a final pre-flight inspection on a KC-135R Stratotanker before flying a refueling mission from Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, on Tuesday.

Some folks believe that the stereo speaker competition in Military barracks is getting a bit out of control.

Col. Thomas J. Keough prepares for a flight from Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, on Tuesday.

A Department of Defense survey indicates that the latest change in Air Force headgear has resulted in a diminishing of re-enlistments.

Sailors gather to conduct a “Power Hour” workout on the flight deck of the guided missile destroyer O’Kane (DDG 77) off the Horn of Africa on Saturday.

"Missile Destroyer Deck Climbing" has become a popular sport in the modern American Navy.

A Coast Guard boat guards the submarine Toledo as it enters Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Monday to kick off the start of Fleet Week. 

Suddenly, the Yatch Man's periodic absence from the Canteen began to seem relevant, and more noticeable.

 

Sgt. Duane Dockstader greets his four-month-old daughter, Skyler, on Monday after returning to Fort Knox, Ky., from a six-month deployment to Iraq. His wife, Jennifer, stands in the background. Dockstader is a member of the 233rd Heavy Transport Company. 

OK, being four months old is no excuse for you needing a haircut this badly.

An Iraqi man looks at US Army soldier Cpt. Jeremy Ostermiller, a physician assistant of 163 InBn, from Lewiston Idaho, as he checks his son at a clinic in the village of Shumeyt near Hawija, north of Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday, April 26, 2005.

Clearly the Iraqi disdain for Americans is on display here in this image.

A US Army soldier from the 1st Battalion 5th Infantry inspects a negative film he found in a private home while conducting a neighborhood search in the Palestine district in the city of Mosul.

Meanwhile, back in the world, there has been a serious lack of inspections concerning the negative articles continually published  by the main stream media.

Iraqi students detained by a US Army soldier from the the1st Battalion 5th Infantry during a raid on Palestine district in the restive city of Mosul.

A coming editorial in the NY Times is being prepared that will condemn the horrific treatment of Iraqi students.

US Army soldier Cpt. Hayde Munro, left, a physician assistant of the 163 InBn from Boyce Idaho listens to complaints from an elderly Iraqi woman at the clinic in the village of Shumeyt near Hawija,  north of Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday, April 26, 2005. More than 100 patients were checked by US army medical personnel during one of the regular visits to local hospitals in the Hawija area.

Captain Munro's only response was that she was "from America, and that she was there to help them."

An Iraqi woman receives shoes for her child from US Army soldier Cpt. Bill Shoment,163 InBn, from Bosman Montana, as other kids que for their turn, during a visit to a clinic in the village of Shmeryd near Hawija, nothern Iraq, Tuesday, April 26, 2005.

Later, the ACLU lodged a complaint in a Federal Court because military personel were being utilized to promote Sole using Federal resources.

Iraqi people queue for medicine given out by the 163 InBn in front of the clinic in the village of Shumeyt near Hawija,  north of Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday, April 26, 2005. More than 100 patients were checked by US army medical personel during one of the regular visits to local hospitals in Hawija area.

Certain newspaper "journalists" have written articles which charge the American Military with drug dealing.

An Iraqi woman looks at US Army soldier Cpt. Jeremy Ostermiller, a physician assitant of 163 InBn, from Lewiston Idaho, as he checks her blood pressure at a clinic near Hawija, Tuesday, April 26, 2005. 

Reports that Iraqi women have been flocking to clinics managed by cute American studs, are being disputed by certain journalists who have yet to indulge themselves of visits of the local Iraqi neighborhoods. It must be the great Hotel food.

Freed Italian hostage Giuliana Sgrena is helped out of the plane at Ciampino airport in Rome, in March 2005. Sgrena said the US report absolving American soldiers from blame for the death of an Italian intelligence agent who saved her in Iraq was 'a slap in the face.

During the recent interview the former Miss Italy 1947 failed to mention her childhood accident when she was hit in the face with a bag of American nickles, as a possible reason for her horrible countenance. 

  <----- Quotes linked here....

Three bored chimps : A chimpanzee yawns as two others nod-off while sitting in the sun at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. 

"Not only are we going to New Hampshire ..., we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York,"  "and we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C. To take back the White House. YEAHHHH!!!."

Hoorah for Time Warner buying out my bankrupt ISP Adelphia! Now that I share the same roof as Comcast, I'm hoping that I will enjoy some better service.

Adelphia finally moved FOX News to a different channel so that we can actually see a picture now. I was worried that FOX would dropped so that we would be forced to watch CNN. LOL!

Things are looking up!

Be strong with the Lord's mighty power

Put on all the armor so that you
will be able to stand firm
against the strategies and tricks of the Devil.

For we are not fighting against people,
but against the evil rulers and
authorities of the unseen world,
against those powers of darkness
who want to rule this world,
and against wicked spirits in the
heavenly realms.

Ephesians 6:10-13
