As for Burghardt, he said he wanted to send a message to the insurgents who failed to kill him. Don't ya just love it when the remarkable attitude of our nation's finest is best pictured showing a little "attitude"?
This dad of a Marine pleads mea culpa to a twinge of pride from stories like this.

Wildcat, will we see this photo above the fold on P 1 of the NYT? Nah, but then with sagging readership and dwindling ad revenue, who cares?
F.R.'s influence is inversely related to the circulation of the news publications you mention.
Is that cool, or what?

IEDs - which can be roadside bombs, car bombs or other booby traps - increasingly are the weapons of choice for the Iraqi insurgents. The weapons of cowards.

Helli, my name is Jon, and I am a long time lurker, first time poster.
I have to say this about Gunny.
I love this man.
In an "I would give him my last cold beer" sort of way.
