The master has returned!

Thanks to you and all the folks here at FR who put these threads together to give us the news. And thanks to the photographers that go out there in dangerous places to get the pictures.

That should be: Quagmire free News.

Apologies for the spelling error(s).

[TADSLOS]

That's one tough looking customer. I'd hate to meet her on the wrong side of an argument.

[G.Mason]

Great work, as usual.

Thanks

[Prodigal Son]

Cool pictures. Thanks!

Quagmire Free News

BUMP FOR TRUTH!

[FreedomPoster]

Thank you, sir! bump.

[EternalVigilance]

Awesome!

Good to see you, man.

[SGCOS]

'Come any closer, and I will shoot this dog poop on your shoes.'

[r9etb]

Note the pistol -- stage prop, or does he figure he oughtta be packing?

[Frank_Discussion]

Do you think that particular sidearm looks HUGE on the man? Is he a tiny fella, or what?

[Darksheare]

Thanks for the ping.
Is it me, or does Nasrallah loook like he's doing a hocus pocus trick?

[Yardstick]

*Bump* for our brave troops doing good work in Iraq. God bless them and the people of Iraq.

[Darksheare]

General Sanchez is roughly my height and build.
That would be 5'5" and lightly built.
The Beretta 92 takes up alot of real estate on someone like us.

[Frank_Discussion]

That's what i was thinking - either he's of small stature, or he's carrying something like a Desert Eagle. I'm sub-average height, myself. 5'-8", but with big hands and feet.

[Darksheare]

Grip looks like the grip of a Beretta, so he's roughly shorter than you, more towards my altitudinal view of the world.
But his hands aren't as small as mine, so he could use the VHS cassette thick Beretta and get away with it.
I do hope he kept it well maintained.
In my old unit, we had two that were rather worn and pretty much fell apart when fired.

[Prodigal Son]

You know, it looks like he doesn't have a magazine loaded in that weapon. Could be a trick of the shadows but it really looks like he doesn't.
