I fully agree!
Thanks, Dio! Great pics once again!
Ya know, I get the warm fuzzies looking at pics of our guys doing their thing, but I just don't feel it for the Iraqi people.
I don't trust them.
I think they'd kiss us while they reached around with a knife to slit our throats if it was to their interests.
Call me a cynic....
I just happened to pick up that rag Newsweak this morning. My F-I-L always renews a subscription for us even though I told him it is a rag. I think now he may want me to see what the enemy within is up to. Anyway, on nearly every page there was a derrogatory comment or cartoon about the administration or some anti-American activity glorified. It put me in a very bad mood, and then I saw your ping.... :)
Your thread is a breath of fresh air, I again thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Close up of one of the burning oils trenches.
I don't have adequate words to express what your daily threads mean to me. "Thank You" seems so inadequate!
In other words I'm guessing grassfire.net would have this guys name in a scoutmaster reject database.
A little tidbit for those who don't know: It is an insult to merely show the bottom of your shoe in Arab culture. This guy is doing the equivilent of spitting on Saddam's face.
