They have playgrounds in Iraq???

But but but ... The DBM told us it's horrible over there

I have this idiot liberal colleague, of a sort, who likes to try and engage me in political argument. One day he says to me something like, "How can you support Bush with what's going on in Iraq? Don't you watch the news?" I told him that they're not telling the whole story. He said, "No, it's much worse."

You'd think he'd actually been there (he hasn't). He refused to hear that anything good could possibly come out of the war. But then, that's part of the liberal pathos. They refuse to believe anything that doesn't fit in with their anti-American, anti-God agenda.

Yes, as a matter of fact, there are playgrounds in Iraq (Please see the last photo in this series.)

I am the Civil Affairs Officer for an MP unit. I work directly with the people of Iraq. Once a week, we visit a local clinic to provide medical care, health education, clothing, shoes, food, and toys to these people.

A reporter, here, once asked me what my mission was and I told him. His next question was if I knew where the Infantry guys were. I never saw him again. The media is only interested in "guts-on-the-ground" stories. apparently "Good news is no news."

I thank you all for your support. We are all in this together. Thanks for doing your part, it makes a difference.


These two little girls adopted me.


Handing out beanie babies.


She kept trying to swing higher to reach the candy, yes, I gave it to her on the third try.


This little girl wasn't heavy enough to work the teeter-totter, so I gave her a hand. (note the sign in the background)


This is a close-up of the sign in the background and THIS IS WHY there are now playgrounds in Iraq.
