Al Masri may have arrived in Iraq before Zarqawi in 2002.

Cinco de Mayo bothers me also, but it’s because of an explanation a Mexican friend of mine gave me as the reason they celebrate it here - and an admonition that Americans should be grateful and celebrate it also. Because the Mexicans were able to defeat the French in that battle (which was in September btw) the French were unable to keep supplying the Confederates, so the Union was able to win the Civil War. No mention of how the Americans were then right there to help the Mexicans defeat the French.
Hi tall, tan, young, and lovely.
Due to a congressional delay in approving a wartime supplemental funding bill this year, the Pentagon pulled about $880 million from the Air Force’s personnel accounts.
The Air Force’s top officer said that if nearly $1 billion in personnel funds taken from the service to pay for combat in Iraq and Afghanistan isn’t restored by the end of the summer, Airmen and civilian employees might not get their pay. Due to a congressional delay in approving a wartime supplemental funding bill this year, the Pentagon pulled about $880 million from the Air Force’s personnel accounts to make up for a shortfall it warned lawmakers would come in mid-April.
“Somebody’s going to have to pay us back,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael “Buzz” Moseley said. “You have to pay people every day when they come to work.” “A: it’s the right thing to do, and B: it’s kind of the law,” he added. The shortfall could delay permanent change of station moves, temporary duty expenses and other pays that “take care of people,” he said.
