"Religion of Peace folks. They are frightened by guns"

Right on! They like strapping on explosives to their women.

You cynic you.

They only do that because it really extenuates the female figure under the chador/abaya.

Didn't you get the "Religion of Peace" memo?

I don't buy this at all...in fact my hubby promised to try to call me tonight..and I will ask him....as far as the convoy..that is not true....hubby has been on several and vehicles have been well armed.

I think these peacekeepers should put signs on their vehicles, "Don't shoot, I am unarmed". The army officers that have set up these rules of engagement should be busted lower than E-2. I am not too sure these rules weren't set up from the highest echelons, maybe even the White House.

Rumsfeld has never pulled any line duty and I doubt if anyone else has in the cabinet. Part of the spectacle we see now in Iraq is the inexperience of air force hot-shots even knowing the basics of ground warfare. We keep tinkering with more and more expensive toys in the air force and do not even know how to take ground and hold it.
