Believe it or not! A slice of life in Baghdad, and the part our troops do to keep it safe.

Indigenous wrath against al Qaeda in Iraq ping.

[prophetic]

Another gold nugget of great news you WONT hear from the mainstream media.

Watching the peace come and getting to that point where the media is unable to conceal the progress anymore.

Priceless.

Dude in the pic has a serious AK-47. ;-)

Quite a story.

Some amazing things are happpening lately and have been happening for months now.

I hope this gets more exposure and of course it’s a shame that the MSM have to be dragged kicking and screaming into reporting some of these transformations.

Is it correct that Osama’s latest is mute re Iraq and shifts the focus to Afghanistan as if there is just nothing he dares say re Iraq?

Is it just me or does it seem like the Prevailing Wisdom has gone from “We can’t win!” to “Of COURSE things settled down, duh, but what about the political corruption?!” without once touching base on “Bush was right”?

When he finds his men — only half of whom are paid — occasionally stealing or extorting money, he beats them himself, and has broken his knuckles dispensing rough justice.

No human rights needed for terrorists. Just hang them rusted in wild west style.

“As he turned to run, Mr al-Obeidi emptied his pistol into his back. His assault on al-Qaeda had begun.”

No matter how many times or how many people insult the cowboy, the western lifestyle, the individual, it always seems to come down to one person making the difference. The collective will lead you over the cliff every time but it is the individual who stands up and chalenges the status quo who is always remembered.

I also learned long ago - when I was a boy - that you can talk and talk and talk all day long against bullies and thugs and it gets you nowhere. Only when you take action - physical, violent action - is when the trouble stops. This is a lesson history shows as the correct course - from the playground to international relations - people have a healthy respect and fear of power. Unfortunately, many more Americans will end up dead - home and abroad - before we unleash our might.
