So why the hell is this not being covered in the media? Collectively, do they hate the Bush administration so much that they won’t show US victories? That’s sure what it looks like.

When I saw the above picture, I thought about the scene in the Band of Brothers episode "Crossroads" (which I actually saw last night from DVD), where they charged a Nazi-held position, and they signaled the start of a charge with red smoke.

In some of the pictures you see some Sunni Arabs dressed in civilian cloth and they are fighting on our side against Al Qaeda terrorists.

Great second picture, which appears to show the facade of Hollywood
compared to the 'real thing'.

Yes, jveritas. Indeed, yet another good response to the American liberation of Iraq.

Good catch. The terrorist in this picture is TALL and BLONDE. However there are some Arabs who fit that profile, they are very few but they do exist. They are the descendants of some Crusaders who had fun with Arab women 800 years ago :)

"Two days ago, patriotic Iraqi security forces prepare to take al Qaeda terrorists."

Great array, Dio. Continuing thanks to you. In time, the Iraqis are getting stronger. That many tribes have turned against Al Qaeda is such a good thing. G*d bless our troops and allies and d*mn the terrorists and their enablers...

Not only do they hate Bush, they hate our America - you know the free one! All the MSN are liberal nutcases who have crossed over to the dark side long ago. I hope they all go bankrupt!
