GOTTA SEE THIS -- OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM 12/21/01

Perps Captured, Flag from NYC, Beautiful Sunsets, Regional Malnutrition, Outpost Capitalism, Sar-e-Pol

<========================>

REPORT FROM THEATRE 1 - AFGHANISTAN

WAR FOR ENDURING FREEDOM 12/21/01



REPORTS:

DoD/VA Study Finds Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, "Lou Gehrig's Disease") in Gulf War Vets


On the USS Shreveport an SH-60 Seahawk helicopter, SEALs,
and the 26th MEU roll.


Over Kabul, a B52 and the postRamadan crescent moon.


In Kabul, an Afghan rests at the coal distribution center.


In Kabul, at the parrot vendor.


In Kabul, at the bakery.


In Kabul, at the men's public bath.


In Kabul, street vendors have "garage sales".


In Kabul, among houses without electricity or running water.


In Kandahar, at the airport, all forces guard the airport - round the clock.


In Kandahar, at the airport, even the 25 MEU 81 mm mortar squad is ready.


In Kandahar, at the airport, Old glory, signed by those left alone after the 911 Atrocity, is raised.


In Kandahar, at the airport, perps are held. Al Qaeda detainees


In Kandahar, at the airport, some troop relax.


In Kandahar, next to the airport, on the roof of the bath house.


In Kandahar, next to the airport, downstairs, the bathhouse is being cleaned up.


In Kandahar, near to the airport, other fighters work to restore water and the runways.


In Kandahar, to the airport, reinforcing Marine Task Force-58 arrives with 50 Marine vehicles


South of Kandahar, U.S. Navy sappers check unexploded 140 mm ordanance prior to detonation.


South of Kandahar, warning the crowd.


In Mazar-e-Sharif, a US-provided leaflet warning people about unexploded ordinance is held up.


In Mazar-e-Sharif, an Afghan working his field.

In Mazar-e-Sharif, an Afghan changing currency at the moneychanger.

In Mazar-e-Sharif, a public dogfight draws much interest.

In Mazar-e-Sharif, at a teahouse, it looks like kabob.


North in Sar-e-Pol, are refugee camps. Hunger and diarrhea are reported to be common.

Within the refugee camps, it looks like there may be malnutrition --in part because of poor food distribution.

The food the child is holding, and the sad, unpleasant, or angry attitude of the very young,
could be suggestive of kwashiorkor, rather than marasmus. In other words, there might be protein-calorie malnutrition
but the sample is small, there has been no nutritional exam,
and there is simply too much burqua in the way to tell.

North in Sar-e-Pol, once again a guard swings a stick into the helpless at the food line.


In Herat, trucks appear covered with Iranian Red Crescent Society tarps.


In Jalalabad, the former compound of the coward Usama bin Laden.
Neighbors claim he visited a year ago.


Near Takhtapul, Afghan men stop and stock up on food supplies air-dropped by the U.S.



At the Spin Wam border with Pakistan, the border is monitored.


In India

Near the Nowshara Sector,
an Indian soldier holds a rocket launcher.


In Boston, the First Amendment shines as the logically-challenged appear.


On the Geraldo, Zaeef, and new species Watch:

STILL LOOKING for TWO.

Off Oahu, new species of deep-sea squid is reported. 17 feet long, too many long tentacles,
and comfortably cruising at a depth of 10,000 feet, looking like nothing else known.

Overwhelmed rescue chopper - and five days later.

That squid is pretty amazing, I wonder what that thing tastes like. Not very scientific minded I guess.

Thanks for the bump, friend.
Everytime I see pictures of Afghanistan I come back to my original analogy that them attacking us is like a termite taking on an elephant.
If we were not by nature a kind-hearted people, their country would look like the surface of Mars.
Sometimes I'm not so sure it shouldn't.

Inbreeding increases the number of traitors and liberals which are really one in the same.
