Outstanding Spc. Ross. Well done.

From the article: "We've done a whole lot of projects to help the people but we haven't eliminated the Ba'ath Party," said Lt-Col Pease. "They're the guys who are attacking us now."

This is the truth which the left stream media hides by referring to the terrorists as 'insurgents.

As one officer said yesterday outside a shrapnel-scarred office: "We just painted the building four days ago. Now we're going to have to start all over again."

Note to terrorists.
We have more paint, we have enough paint to drown every one of you stinkin bastards.

Each night I pray for the safety of our soldiers and ask God to let them feel His presence to give them comfort and courage to carry out their mission.

Spc Ross, from Kentucky, fired almost 100 rounds before the car, pitted with bullet-holes, came to a stop. A second later, the vehicle blew up.

"I saw a blinding white light before I was thrown back inside the guard tower," he said. "After that everything was obscured by dust."

Sounds like a movie. Even more impressive that it's real.

Good shootin' and quick thinking on the part of Spc. Ross. His parents ought to be bursting with pride, once they get over the shock of him coming very close to being killed.

Leaders of Saddam's regime are to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity after Iraq's interim government voted last night to establish a tribunal.

I have a strange feeling that this tribunal won't be some mamby-pamby Euro-touchy-feely tribunal, where the most you can get is life in prison. At least, I sure hope so.

Give him a medal and send him back for more target practice. With a SAW or M-60, he should have plugged the guy with one short burst.

The attack ended an apparent trend in recent weeks by terrorists to attack "soft targets".

And the awesome US military is ready and waiting. Oh, and BUMP for a 23 year old defender of his buddies and freedom!

And the anti-American types wonder why we love these guys. So proud of James Ross. They all put themselves between us and evil everyday.
