Neither Heat Nor Sun Stays Army Postal Unit in Qatar

By Staff Sgt. Nate Orme / 3rd Personnel Command Public Affairs

CAMP AS-SAYLIYAH, Qatar, Aug. 10, 2003 — Qatar is a small country occupying a peninsula jutting off the Saudi Arabian landmass at the opposite end of the Persian Gulf from Iraq. Up to six months ago, the base had housed a skeleton staff working to pre-position equipment for a coalition-led force in case of conflict in the region.

That all changed last winter, when Qatar became the headquarters for the Central Command, and the relatively small base was suddenly filled with troops and civilian workers engaged in waging war with Iraq in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

When 10 members of the 1st/554th Postal Services Platoon arrived in Qatar in April to take over the base Army Post Office at Camp As-Sayliyah, they got a little more than they expected. 1st Sgt. Susan Baker, the postmaster on base, said the five civilian U.S. Embassy employees managing the office were swamped with mail of troops recently arrived for Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The rest of the story and more pictures

I'm speechless, Radix. Great pictures today. Do you think the UN will finally get the message that there are those who DO NOT WANT PEACE, PERIOD? I don't think so. I heard a UN creep say on the radio that the US wasn't providing enough security. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Worthless UN!!

I think that it is more imperative that our very own Government gets the message that there are those who DO NOT WANT THE UN, PERIOD!
 
The UN has hindered the USA and provided obstacles at every opportunity in the War against Terror. They have placed the lives of all Americans, and now most especially the lives of our Troops in jeopardy by their ridiculous antics. It is time to say goodbye to the UN.

See this post about how at least one UN official is admitting the UN refused US security in Baghdad. (That admission was buried in the article, btw. Typical!)

Wonderful pictures and captions. I especially like the first photo.

Back on for a bit, my access is being limited by forces 'above' my level of control!

Imagine that picture covering a page and a half of a magazine whose size is reminiscent of Life. I cropped some of it because my flatbed scanner just isn't big enough to do more than one page wide!

"He does allow breaks, doesn't he?"

I just had to remind "my boss" that I hadn't eaten anything for breakfast or lunch.
So "he" gave me a few minutes to eat something.
"He" tends to forget that eating is important.

Maybe the third time is a charm....I can't seem to get this answered. Thanks, Fawnn, for pointed me to this. I did hear right and it's even worse. I heard Kofi Annan on the tv last night say the US underestimated the need for security. Now, I find out the UN flat out REJECTED security. We need to get out of the UN and get them out of the US. They are endangering our troops, and yes, hindering them in their work. ARGH! How about France or Germany or Belgium; anywhere but here.

Okay, so now do we need to enlist a bunch of folks to remind our Canteen Captain at appropriate times throughout the day to take a break and have a snack?

Here, take the edge off for now...
