"Stressed OUT?" Under Barack Insane Obama? How can this possibly be??
These terrible sorts of things are only associated with republican presidents, specifically, George W. Bush.

Was this at Camp Liberty, or Camp Victory? The Commander in Chief doesn't seem to know.
U.S. Soldier Shoots 5 of His Comrades to Death in Iraq
(NYTimes) President Obama was shocked by the news of this incident, the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, said Monday. The president is set to receive a briefing on the shooting during an afternoon meeting with Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates.
Hes saddened to hear the news from Camp Victory, Mr. Gibbs told reporters at the White House. His heart goes out to all the families.
Thank you, for all you do.

Camp Victory was renamed to Camp Liberty some time back.Actually, Victory is now Victory Base Camp and encompasses many camps in the western Baghdad/airport area.
Camp Liberty was called Victory North in the old days and got its current name in late 2004.
So, Camp Victory still very much exists and Camp Liberty is part of it.
We just tend to call the whole area "BIAP." (Baghdad International Airport.)

The right shade is very important. ;-)
I'm gonna try to be there. Going to visit my sis in England for a couple of weeks in August and then plan to come home late in the year.
But...who knows? One morning, I might wake up and say "I am so done with this place," and just head on home.
Hey...it could happen. No, really, it could.

Thank you. I googled up an article that explained all that, but not as clearly and quickly as you just did. I should have just waited for your answer.

Its going to be a long night for many families. I’m not sure how I would take the news knowing my son was killed in a combat zone by one of his own.
To: boxerblues
My guess is the idiot that did this was an Obama supporter in this past election, frustrated that Obama wasn’t pulling out fast enough.

Rest in peace Spec4 Bingaman, 588th Signal, Quang Tri 1969 murdered in Quang Tri, by an American serviceman ( I will not name which branch),who threw a grenade into a line of of soldiers leaving a large tent in which some special entertainment had just ended.
Reason?....because the show was packed with troopers, the murderer was denied entry. He waited until the show was over and the audience was leaving, then heaved the granade.
I had to inventory Bingaman’s footlocker....where most of us had a torn page from Playboy scotch taped to the bottom of the lid, my eyes began to weep when I saw that Bingaman had taped an ad for a 1968 red Mustang convertible. He had planned to re-up and purchase his dream car with the bonus.
I'm upset.

Thanks for the updates, Allegra. Reading your posts with great interest.
I'm thankful that you're OK, and am praying for all the families involved and for all the buddies of the soldiers killed.
This is just awful. There but for the grace of God......
