In Baghdad, Iraqi children led Task Force Baghdad soldiers to a weapons cache. The children led the troopers to three rocket-propelled grenades and 10 fuses. An explosives ordnance disposal team was called to the site and safely detonated the munitions.
"The majority of Iraqis do not support the insurgency," said Lt. Col. Clifford Kent, a Task Force Baghdad spokesman. "Most Iraqis want to give the new Iraqi government a chance to work, and that's why they're turning in these terrorists and their weapons."
In combat operations conducted May 14, Iraqi soldiers captured seven terror suspects in eastern Baghdad. The Iraqi soldiers seized a computer, small arms, a protective mask and cell phone parts that could be used to remotely detonate bombs. All seven suspects were taken into custody for questioning.
In southern Baghdad, U.S. soldiers conducted a series of early morning raids Baghdad and captured three specifically targeted terror suspects. The suspects are believed to have planned and carried out a number of terrorist attacks in the area. The soldiers also found several AK-47 assault rifles, pistols and cellular phones during the raid. The three suspects were taken into custody for questioning.
Later in the day, Task Force Baghdad soldiers working in southeastern Baghdad found another weapons cache containing seven artillery shells and a rocket-propelled grenade. In Mosul, Stryker Brigade Combat Team soldiers detained 21 suspected terrorists. Soldiers detained 10 suspects in western Mosul, five in southeastern Mosul and six near the town of Sinjar.

Mine say, "Leaves a Smoking Hole"-----Really.
[ULTRA HEAVY SARCASM INSERT]
And in light of such "outrageously-perverse" accounts concerning our Marines and Army Infantry towards their "conspicuous relations"...
...I, a fellow red-blooded & fire-'armed' American civilian, plead guilty to the "treasonous" act...
...of "Aiding" the unarmed and ill-equipped children's population of IRAQ with "foreign aid" not confined to shampoo, flip-flop sandals, soap bars & stuffed animals.
CASE-in-POINT: A little bit of "Christmas Everyday" towards the Iraqi children is, sooner or later, gonna be GOOD rolled back on our Troops.
I was smart enough to leave the really good ones out.
Here is a good site, if you are interested in the GOOD stuff happening every day in Iraq.

I will find some more & post.
I remember seeing the looks on the Russian Troops several years back when we flew in C-5s loaded with food, clothes, emergency supples and Christmas Presents fro the Russian Children. The looks on the Russian Troops faces when they realized what their brother warriors from America were bringing in for the Russian children and mothers was priceless. Especially when they stood intermixed with the US troops shoulder to shoulder to unload the packages and when they took a break off to one corner and shared smokes with their new American brothers.
Thanks for the ping!
What year(s) and what EVENT was that??
I've supported, along with My church and thousand others 'cross the US, "Operation Christmas Child", started by Franklin Graham, which has contracted Russian Antonov An124's to lift over the gift-ladened shoeboxes to the Balkans, Ukraine, Caucuses, Middle East, SouthEastern Asia and, of Course, "Mother Russia".
I belive it was while GW daddy was in office but could have been at the very end of Ronnies second term.
And deeply saddened. ;-)
