Every picture shows how wonderful, brave, and valiant the military of the United States of America is
and how correct the decision of President Bush was.

Every picture proves how important are both freedom and the
the War for Enduring Freedom.

Do you think this warranty is likely to expire before it ceases to exist?

Diogenesis,

I appreciate your photo essays. You bring a fresh perspective to this war that propagandist TV (Iraqi TV, Al-Jazeera) will never be able to comprehend.

More war crimes:

Iraqi troops outside Baghdad pretend to surrender and then open fire.

Iraqi TV (and then Al-Jazeera) broadcasts footage of captured American POWS, and the dead bodies and faces of American soldiers.

They'll continue to play dirty pool, but the Coalition Forces will overcome!

Thanks for posting that picture. They had much better weather yesterday than the last one I went to at Catherdal Square about a month ago. FR is the only place I saw any mention of the Milwaukee rally. G-d Bless Our Troops!
