For those of us who live at the back of beyond...with dial up...the pictures took some time to download..oh, but well worth the wait. I get furious with the alphabet news not reporting the real story from Iraq. Grrrrr. Thank God for the internet to give us the real picture...pun intended. Thanks for sharing the real story.

That should be: Quagmire free News.

That is too funny, please use it in the future.

Right now, our heroes in Iraq and Afghanistan are breaking all EPA regulations, by draining the swamps and eliminating quagmires. In the process, they are also bringing an endangered species (the lesser bearded jihadist) that much closer to extinction.

The wetlands, the wetlands...............

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.

LOL! Me too. I always felt a little bigger, however, with a main battle tank wrapped around me.

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

You never know. Maybe he just walked up to the podium and announced:

"I am Ricardo Sanchez and I have the fastest 9 Mill in Baghdad!"
(in the background we hear that Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone spaghetti western music...)

You know, it looks like he doesn't have a magazine loaded in that weapon.

I do believe you are correct. I copied the image and adjusted the "gamma" to allow seeing pretty well into that shadow, and it still didn't look like there was a mag in the well. But then the Army tends not to trust the troops with loaded weapons outside of combat zones, which this is, being Turkey, not Iraq or Afghanistan. Hopefully he's carrying a few loaded magazines.

I think that this is the first time I've ever seen these cowards without their stocking caps on.

I suspect it's standing orders for all personell in the area to be armed, and he's just setting a good example for the other troops.

That's Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, Commander of the 800th Military Police Brigade. She was in charge of the media day event held at Abu Ghraib prison a couple of days ago. That event is what led to the AP story yesterday about 8 prisoners claiming to be Americans and Brits.

If it weren't for the guns, I'd say this is a group if illegals waiting for day jobs on just one of any street corner in America...

My old M119A1 howitzer made up for my lack of height.
"Everything's better, after a fire mission."
I think I was the fourth shortest in all of artillery, but I was the shortest I my unit.
