Did you know your fellow Freepers have adopted the Stryker Brigade? We're sending them stuff for Christmas!

For your ping list?
A ping for you, little brother.
Merry Band of Patriots ping list to news from Mosul.
I was wrong. It has served well, very well indeed.
The 2-1 is stationed mainly in Mosul and have captured more than 180 suspected terrorists in the nearly three months since the brigade left Alaska. Lt. Col. Charles Webster, commander of the 2-1, spoke with reporters Thursday from Iraq and described a recent operation that he said crippled an al-Qaida cell in Mosul.
Stryker and GNFI ping!
There are times when battlefield intelligence is worth the effort – when the info gets disseminated quickly enough.
You can be proud that your nephew serves so honorably, and with a great bunch of men.
Heroes all!
Thanks for the ping!
Some LA gangstas in their hopped-up Honda Civics sound like just the ticket to me, Stentor. IMHO, we are not using enough of our diverse cultural resources to teach the worthy oriental gentlemen of Iraq some of the more interesting and valuable lessons of democracy.
For example, while the low riders clean up the alleys, rival gang members could patrol on foot with their pit bulls. Half an Iraqi town could be Crips territory, the other half, Blood country. Woe betide the worthy oriental gentleman wearing the wrong color head cover on the wrong side of town.
Big Stykers ~ Bump!

"...after Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980 Kennedy sent Senator John Tunney to Moscow as his personal envoy to talk with the Kremlin, and with KGB participants, informing them that he and his party could handle the newly-elected warmonger."
And once Iraq settles down into a reletively stable democracy where the people aren't terrorized daily, he and his party will do to Bush's legacy on the Iraq war what they did to Reagan's legacy in ending the Cold war. They will say he had nothing to do with it. That it would have happened anyway, probably faster, without our intervention. Etc, etc., etc....
