[Nefertiti]

Ok.. how about this.. you gloat, I'll cry and between us well have all the emotions covered

Nefertiti

and it's really sad that the people you work with can't take 5 min. and be happy for others... oh well.. we will just have to be happy enough to make up for it!!!!

[fml]

I hope the future leaders of Iraq remember the UN and others who were against this fight for freedom.

Soldier talking to Richard just said

"It's hard to tell who's friend or foe".

Hey, soldier, you're talking to Pretty Chicken!..Foe!

[Krodg]

Beautiful

[Pro-Bush]

What a wonderful day to be an Iraqi citizen...Bastard dictators of Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, & Iran are surely taking notice on what is comming down the pike.

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

I dunno, I think that sign might have been misinterpreted.

Looks to me like it was originally intended to identify human shields (in the hope that Coalition forces wouldn't fire on them), and someone (maybe a Brit traitor) wrote "Go home US wankers" on it, probably addressed to our troops.

Whether the Iraqi guys holding up the sign have any idea what it says, I don't know.

[retrokitten]

You are right. I can't complain too much. I sit right outside the bosses office and as long as I am caught up on my work he doesn't say anything about my FReeping.

[NewsJunqui]

[Timeout]

Could it possibly get any better than this???!!!!!

Only if one of those gorgeous Marines looked straight at the camera and said, "Ain't this freepin' fabulous!".

[CurlyBill]

Let's find our POWs and bring them home!!

[angelwings49]

hehehe... I've always had a thing for Marines ;)

[BreitbartSentMe]

Well, if they didn't want the words HUMAN SHIELDS included in their message, they would have turned the banner over and written their message on the blank side.
