ANF sources said here that the Force received an intelligence of dump of narcotics and ammunition in Dugnan area close of Pak-Afghan border. A raid was conducted and 585 Kg Morphine and 3500 bullets of AK-47 rifle. No arrest was made.
Four aerial bombs ripped apart the vessel's bridge, bow and hull below the waterline. In a matter of minutes, the ship sank in the watery graveyard aptly named the "Iron Bottom Sound."
Of a crew of 299, 167 men were lost, according to one history. Ten of the 14 officers were killed and three of the four who survived were wounded. But Dahms was lucky. An explosion tossed him into the sea like a bath toy.
Thank you to ALL of you here who served to keep us Free!

Today, Asnes is one of a record number of Americans studying Arabic and the Arab world. They are on the leading edge of an educational boom that has seen the initial shock and anger at the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks feed a greater engagement with a region long neglected by US students and universities

Hey, Piper. I was thinking about you yesterday. Good to "hear" your voice. God bless.
Hmmmmmmmmm, thanks for sharing that. I hope we find out if it is that dreaded disease.
I'll be looking for a big buck this weekend too. BTW - we got our elk last week. My brother shot a spike bull and I found it about four hours later - so I get partial credit. Had backstrap medalions last weekend... awesome stuff!!!

Thanks. I wonder if the MSM will mention it . . .
Thank God the House of Representatives still understand whom they work for.
The leader of the Immigration Sub Committee stated today that no guest worker program is going to happen, due to a lack of support from the people of the United States.

Carrot and Stick, This is the Carrot
Every time the writer sees, hears or reads about another American becoming a casualty in Iraq, he cannot help but see the faces of the Democrat Candidates and their cohorts rising in the plumes of smoke that invariably accompany a roadside ambush. Those candidates knew, or being smarter than the rest of us, should have known that the remains of Hussiens defunct regime and foreign fighters were encouraged by their rhetoric. Of course they did, and they didnt care! Remember, and never forget, the left, American or otherwise, and the Bathists who are latter day Marxists, have the same political agenda, permanent acquisition of dictatorial power!
Those Candidates behavior effectively lent aid and comfort to the enemy and that has made the security mission more difficult and dangerous for American servicemen serving in Iraq. It has jeopardized the success of the overall mission, which of course, is precisely what the Democrat Candidates had hoped for so they could ride in on their black steed and rescue us from success. In another era, they would have been charged with treason and hung, and should have been.
Now that Democrats have so inflamed their leftist base and given aid and comfort to the enemy, the following is one, but a necessary prescription of how to stop the insurgency abroad and put a sock in it at home.
1. Seal off x hotbed of terrorists, without warning.
2. Evacuate all inhabitants to a compound within sight of the city.
3. Search them for weapons and look at every face.
4. Separate the sheep from the goats and confiscate their weapons.
5. Provide evacuees with the essentials for survival and health.
6. Treat them humanely and with compassion.
7. Respect their practice of religion and their religious artifacts.
8. Teach them love and respect for themselves and for others (including women).
9. Explain that harboring terrorists is not in their best interests.
10. Surround the compound with Guard pigs.
11. Flatten x, y, or z hotbed.
12. Bring in bulldozers and M-1s and finish the job.
13. Send any remaining resistance to a permanent visit with their 72 virgins.
14. Slaughter the Guard pigs and pour their blood over the ruins.
15. Provide evacuees with the tools to rebuild, better, somewhere.
16. Take any little kids who throw stones or anything else into custody and screw their heads on straight. (Its too late for their dads and elder brothers, they get the virgins.)
17. Repeat as necessary.
18. Their hearts and minds will follow.
Would it work? Guaranteed! Anybody but the writer have the cajones to do it? Well see.
Happy 229th Birthday Marines.
