G d bless all Americans and the allies in the War for Enduring Freedom.
Please check out the video showing how Saddam CONTINUES to attack the USA.
It is outrageous how the Afghanis STILL treat women.
Perhaps FREEPERS were correct, and women should have been given more CONTROL.
The shots of our military helping in Afgan are incredible. Some of these shots make your heartache with thankfulness for the wonderful folks who are over there, daily, helping and showing the Afgans there is a better, richer, kinder way to live. The expressions of the Afgans are so terrific.
And the shots of the daily hard hard work both the adults and children of Afganistan undergo are enlightening.
And the shots of the women-the prison-incredible. And yes, women are mistreated and this needs to stop.
The Israeli pics depicts another nation stricken with terrorism....the pics are deadly with their realistic portrayal of the grief and hardships.
And finally-our planes-our military-our beliefs- WHAT A GREAT THREAD TO REVIEW ON VETERANS' DAY!
TO OUR VETS-I love you all! Thank you, so much, for your service. We live free, because you are willing to die for that right. Literally. THANK YOU< THANK YOU < THANK YOU!!!!!
BTW-I have noticed that when you show Iraqi street pics, Saddam's fatuous mug is plastered all over the place-windows, walls of buildings, posters, at the open markets, etc etc etc. It makes me sick....I wish I could have a few thousands spray paint cans and open access to those streets for a few evenings---I could do some fabulous re-arranging of those ugly features. All with the idea of improving um-of course! (NOT!)

 I have nothing left if it's not the dream of being able to live in England  |
|
Unnamed Iraqi refugee
|
The town's communist mayor, Jacky Henin, offered St Pierre-St Paul church as a temporary shelter for the migrants over the weekend, but gave a deadline of 1500 local time (1400 GMT) on Monday, after which the church would be evacuated by force.
Local politicians, police, church leaders and humanitarian groups have gathered outside the church to persuade those still inside to leave town in buses that are waiting outside.
The deadline to evacuate has passed
About 30 have left, having accepted offers to file asylum requests for France from shelters outside Calais. But others, having got so far, are unwilling to leave and are unsure if they can trust the offer.
"It is a solution that is humane, even if it does not suit their dream of going to Britain. They must understand that their dream does not fit reality," said Bishop Jean-Paul Jaeger, of the northern French city of Arras.
But local campaigners backed the migrants, who say they deserve the same treatment as Sangatte's existing 1,800 residents.
Many refugees have paid large sums of money to flee such trouble spots as Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo, and made long, dangerous journeys hiding on trucks and in containers.
Until Sangatte opened, they had been sleeping rough on beaches and in parks - which resumed after the centre closed.
Sympathetic locals have brought supplies
Some are so desperate to get to Britain that they have threatened to go on hunger strike.
"I have nothing to lose, I have nothing left if it's not the dream of being able to live in England," an Iraqi refugee at the church told Reuters news agency.
"I want to leave France, not to stay here, not in Sangatte, not in Calais, and not in any other centre hundreds of kilometres from Calais," he added.
After three years, the Sangatte centre is set to close for good in April, following an agreement between France and Britain aimed at clamping down on illegal immigration.
Probably means she was raped, by a Taliban or "Arab" Al-Qaida type.
