Bump for GOTTA SEE THIS - War for Enduring Freedom - 4/14/4 - Baghdad, Fallujah, Najaf

[carpediem365]

Many thanks for your awesome photo record of unfolding events! This is one of the reasons I love FR. Special kudos to the US Air Force on a quality bomb run.

I wonder if we're being too discriminating in our bombing.

During the Kosovo bombing under Clinton, the US bombed from 15,000 feet, civilians be damned.

Bump For Freedom Rememberance and Heroes

Thanks Dio.

Great reporting, your efforts are are a major contribution to FR in my humble opinion. I was unhappy to hear a dope being interviewed on Fox News today make the remark that we must give up some of our civil liberties in the face of the terrorist threat. I wanted to jerk him around by his lapels.

The point of our war effort is to preserve our freedoms and civil liberties at all costs. That cost, as far as I am concerned, can include the annihilation of the entire Middle East if neccessary. I think it is the height of stupidity to agree to a one sided cease fire, it is the height of stupidity not to wipe this town off the map to serve as an example of our determination to wipe terrorist, and those that give them shelter, from the face of the earth.

========= Fallujah =========

In Fallujah, Marine heroes successfully raid and seize several weapon caches
and tools used to make explosive devices AND the terrorists.

Great. Well done American soldjers. It is a war between good and evil, between freedom and terrorism. All the allies of darkness in the middle east came together, Fashist sunnis, arab nationalists, Iranian terrorists, with thier fanatic friends. Sadrs army and other shia militias have made friends with Turkoman front (backed and funded by Turkish government), and much liked by thier Syrian friends and supported by Iran were terrorising Kurds in Kirkuk city for the last year. fighting against America and the changes they fear in the middle east. They want to establish the greater Islam Empior to role the world and and terrorise people. You have all the support of Kurdish nation in the four parts of kurdistan ( south , west , east and north). They should never succeed, or will be a disaster to the free world and what we kurds are fighting for for last centery. I am delighted as for the first time America stand really and in practice with real democracy and freedom.I was delighted to hear Mr Bushe's Speech yesterday. do not let axis of thieves and terrorists win.
It is a real time for Iraqies to decide either they are with tyranni, or freedom. They must say it loud, any one who can not say it loud do not deserve freedom, those groups who run and did not fight the gangs.
USA should test those groups and leaders in Iraq, it is the time to find out who pretends to be democratic and who is really freedom loving and want to sacrifice for thier freedom. There is no difference between saddam and his gang and sadr and his gang or other political parties who want to dominat and establish an Islamic state once they get to power. Don't let our sacrifices over years come to nothing.
ThankS again and was very great post. I was waiting for such a news over last week, still not sure that America will not leave or back down in face of pressure from media. Do not let Kurds down again. Now the world can see, these gangs who we have been forced to live with for a centrey. The brutality of killing those four American is the same brutlity of Saddams thugs who killed and terrorised kurds for over 40 years.

Looks like that decade of MOUT training paid off handsomely for the USMC.

Thank you for pictures.

Some of my comments about some picks. You see that Marine pointing a finger at one of turban guys -- if I was this guy, I would better calmly escort his turban ass -- you really don't want to pick up a fight with pissed marines already.

Now this air strike -

Pilot - This is Eagle1 to Eagle2, target in sight, proceeding when order
Command - Eagle 2 to Eagle 1 fire at will.

Zoooooooooooooooom boooooooooommmmmm, rest is history.

Eagle 1 to Eagle 2 JDAM has left the building.

Any damage Eagle 1

Yes, nothing left and forty bastards are dead.

Good job man.

God Bless America sir.

I look at these guys and I think they are just kids.....and I could not be any prouder of each and every one of them.

God Bless The Troops who are protecting my life, the lives of my children and future grandchildren. It is a religious war none of us would chose to fight, The fanatics are determined to fight it.

Let no one underestimate their desire to destroy us and their willingness to die, especially if they can take a few G I Joe's (and Janes's) with them.

(I believe I hear Lee Greenwood singing in the back of my mind..... And I am damned proud to be an American.)

Please, please add me to your ping list! Fantastic pictures!

[McGavin999]

Those Sadar people seem really intimidated by that American soldier. As a matter of fact, I'd hate to have him mad at me, he looks positively FIERCE! WHAHOOO! I love our military :o)
