The French are there with us...in case you missed it France lost two Special Forces troopers recently clearing a cave complex.

So lets not be hasty in knocking them this morning.

They have been kicking butt in Afghanistan since this thing started.

I did miss that fact, so I apologize for my meanness.

A 19 year-old friend-of-a-friend lost his arm, was seriously wounded by shrapnel, and was badly burned in Afghanistan yesterday. So sad. The price of freedom can be - and is - very high...
Lord, please watch over, bless and protect our troops, and inspire those who lead them.

Yawn... the Germans are almost always entering Paris - there's a famous German military march titled "The Entry into Paris" which was played by allied bands as they entered Paris in 1815!

Good post. Perhaps a lot of fresh faces moving in from Iran over a period of time are going to find themselves popping up daisies over the next few months.

I don't believe it's coincidental Mogadishu was claimed by the islamites a few weeks ago. How do you spell "run like a little girlie!"?

Excellent. Good hunting!

Keep'em dying boys!

06 will turn out to be the worst year on the Taliban and al-Qeada elements in Stan since their removal in late 01 - (and it is only going to get worse over the next several months).

Heh heh. Some politician or other was using the surge in Talibunny violence to show why Iraq is distracting us from the war on terror. I remember now: the politician was Murtha the Moron and the interview was the day Zarqawi's extermination was announced. Looks like they've had this handled for a while.

Strange innit, how much more our military on the ground knows than aging veteran politicians who're sagging in the polls so badly that they switch sides?

The media has really cranked up the anti-war propaganda ever since then too, and with some success. Say, I hope you do manage to have a chat with that reporter...and give us the gory details. We'll have a thread on it!

O'Reilly (the creep) was complaining this morning - during an interview with another talking head - that progress won't have been made in Iraq until reporters can go across the street for a cup of coffee. He's never supported going back to Iraq, and he knows no more about what is happening there or the presiden't reasons for going than the idiot interviewing him. The media is cranking up another notch.

Thank you to our troops overseas and to all of our allies who are there to stand with us. God speed.
