The link is here.

There are a lot of photos over at Michael Yon's site.

Thanks to The Belmont Club for bringing this to my attention, and for the great thoughts about this column, called "The Wizzard War."

The Deuce Four soldiers left quickly with the "casualties," "abandoning" the burning truck in the traffic circle. The enemy took the bait. Terrorists came out and started with the AK-rifle-monkey-pump, shooting into the truck, their own video crews capturing the moment of glory. That's when the American snipers opened fire and killed everybody with a weapon. Until now, only insiders knew about the AK-monkey-pumpers smack-down.

This is my favorite part.

Thanks for posting this - Michael's blog is a great first hand news source for Iraq. I was going to post it, but you beat me to it! :-)

My son is in the army and headed to EOD school...gives me a first hand look at their job in Iraq!

This is really worth the long read. Then, it's worth a second long read.

"The most serious terrorists do not fear prison here. Captain Jeff VanAntwerp, who commands Alpha Company, recently told me that Iraqis joke among themselves that they would pay 5,000 Dinar per night to stay at Abu Ghraib prison. It's air conditioned, the showers are good, the food is good, and the water is good. The mother seemed to know this and it curled in contempt behind her smile."

Says a lot right here.

A great read...God bless our soldiers.

A simply great posting.

The sort of reporting we would find in MSM if we had decent MSM.

Many thanks to Belmont Club for featuring this and much gratitude to the brave Mr Yon and our fabulous warriors.

Gotta admire the ingenuity; Cobbled together from Wally-World electronics no doubt.

LTC Kurilla demonstrates the preferred method of transporting a terrorist.

[cyclotic]

No, he should drag him by his feet. Better leverage that way.

Someone should get this to Ted Kennedy...

"IRAQ FUN METER"??......

It makes me almost sick to my stomach to read that.

Michael Yon is a modern-day Ernie Pyle, out there in the s**t with the troops...rather than the rest of the MSM, who are modern-day Ernest Hemingways, writing anti-American twaddle from the safety and comfort of a hotel bar.

Screw "Over There." THIS is reality.
