Wrong.. I'm not criticizing what they could have done better. Wrong.. Wrong.. Wrong..

He wasn't so helpless 10 minutes before when he was trying to kill the very men that killed him.. I bet him and his jack ass buddies were chanting behind the wall just before the 50cal bullets started to fly..

I'll be there :)

What is your point? I'm not being an arm chair quarterback?

He wrote the letter Bill.. I forwarded it.. HE IS ACTUALLY in Iraq.. Unlike most people..

This is a letter from Ray Reynolds, a medic in the Iowa Army National Guard, serving in Iraq: As I head off to Baghdad for the final weeks of my stay in Iraq, I wanted to say thanks to all of you who did not believe the media. They have done a very poor job of covering everything that has happened. I am sorry that I have not been able to visit all of you during my two week leave back home. And just so you can rest at night knowing something is happening in Iraq that is noteworthy, I thought I would pass this on to you. This is the list of things that has happened in Iraq recently: (Please share it with your friends and compare it to the version that your paper is producing.) * Over 400,000 kids have up-to-date immunizations. * School attendance is up 80% from levels before the war. * Over 1,500 schools have been renovated and rid of the weapons stored there so education can occur. * The port of Uhm Qasar was renovated so grain can be off-loaded from ships faster. * The country had its first 2 billion barrel export of oil in August. * Over 4.5 million people have clean drinking water for the first time ever in Iraq. * The country now receives 2 times the electrical power it did before the war. * 100% of the hospitals are open and fully staffed, compared to 35% before the war. * Elections are taking place in every major city, and city councils are in place. * Sewer and water lines are installed in every major city. * Over 60,000 police are patrolling the streets. * Over 100,000 Iraqi civil defense police are securing the country. * Over 80,000 Iraqi soldiers are patrolling the streets side by side with US soldiers. * Over 400,000 people have telephones for the first time ever * Students are taught field sanitation and hand washing techniques to prevent the spread of germs. * An interim constitution has been signed. * Girls are allowed to attend school. * Textbooks that don't mention Saddam are in the schools for the first time in 30 years. Don't believe for one second that these people do not want us there. I have met many, many people from Iraq that want us there, and in a bad way. They say they will never see the freedoms we talk about but they hope their children will. We are doing a good job in Iraq and I challenge anyone, anywhere to dispute me on these facts. So If you happen to run into John Kerry, be sure to give him my email address and send him to Denison, Iowa. This soldier will set him straight. If you are like me and very disgusted with how this period of rebuilding has been portrayed, email this to a friend and let them know there are good things happening. Ray Reynolds, SFC Iowa Army National Guard 234th Signal Battalion

We are dealing with it.. They finished him off.. The apache did his job too.. Well done..

Oh My God!!!!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!! DAAAAYUUUUMMMMM!!!! BWahahahahahahaha!! LOL lol Rhino

We are talking about finishing a job. The injured man that wasn't necessary to kill as you say would kill a thousand Marines if given the chance.. Arm Chair Quarterback...

ARM CHAIR QUARTERBACK. People that criticize but never accomplish anything that is worth a damn in their own lives. Talkers not doers... Dime a dozen.. Rhino

Apparently you are incorrect.. We ARE in Iraq.. And we ARE doing it..

You've never been a soldier in your life. What in the hell do you know about what being a professional soldier in combat means?

Sadham would have killed ten times as many as we have.. "Here is your sign" Rhino

They are professionals.. Professional killers... Get use to it...

Yeah.. Whatever... Until you are the one on the battlefield that rolls him over to get your "Intel" and a grenade blows up in your face... That is what these soldiers are dealing with.. Rhino

Fuck the General... He was in the comfort of a sheltered building when he made that statement.. He wasn't getting his ass shot off..

Kind of sounds like the day in the life of a parent....

I like your post.. As a Marine I can tell you that Infantry Marines are indeed trained to kill... That is their job... It's kill or be killed... No mercy... 100% balls to the walls it's them or me... They have a dirty, nasty, tiring, underappreciated job to do.. I am so VERY VERY proud of our soldiers... They are heroes that are doing the best that the can while in the closest environment to hell that can be imagined... Urban combat in a country full of people that either hate them, or have the wrong impression of why they are there... I'm damned proud of them... The courage that they LIVE on a daily basis... Keeping each other alive... Fighting for the Iraqi people's freedom.. Fighting for our freedom... I am damned proud... They are away from their families and loved ones... Underappreciated and misunderstood... I love and miss my brothers in the corps... I hope they kill every enemy asshole wannabee in that fucking country and free those people once and for all.. I hope everytime they kill a maggot like in that video they do celebrate.. Every enemy asshole they kill puts them a little closer to home........ Subject: THE MARINE This is a poem being sent from a Marine. For those who read it, his letter is at the bottom of this page to his dad. It makes you truly be thankful for all of our troops. THE MARINE We all came together, Both young and old. To fight for our freedom, To stand and be bold. In the midst of all evil, We stand our ground, And we protect our country From all terror around. Peace and not war, Is what some people say. But I'll give my life, So you can live the American way. I give you the right To talk of your peace, To stand in your groups, And protest in our streets. But still I fight on. I don't bitch, I don't whine. I'm just one of the men Who is doing your time. I'm harder than nails, Stronger than any machine, I'm the immortal soldier, I'm a U.S. MARINE! So stand in my shoes, And leave from your home. Fight for the people who hate you, With the protests they've shown. Fight for the stranger, Fight for the young, So they all may have, The great freedom you've won. Fight for the sick, Fight for the poor. Fight for the cripple, Who lives next door. But when your time comes, Do what I've done. For if you stand up for freedom You'll stand when the fight's done. ~Corporal Aaron M. Gilbert~ ~UNITED STATES MARINE~ ~ 'USS SAIPAN, PERSIAN GULF~ MARCH 23, 2003 HEY DAD, DOWN HERE. Do me a favor and label this "THE MARINE" and send it to everybody on your distribution list. Even leave this paragraph in it. I want this rolling all over the U.S. I want every home reading it. Every eye to see it. And every heart to feel it. So can you please send this out for me? I would but I am sorta on the USS SAIPAN and my e-mail time isn't that long. You know what Dad, I wondered what it would be like to truly understand what JFK said in his inaugural speech, "When the time comes to lay down my life for my country, I do not cower from this responsibility, I welcome it." Well, now I know. And I do, Dad, I welcome the opportunity to do what I do. Even though I have left behind a beautiful wife, and I will miss the birth of our first born child, I would do it 70 times over to fight for the place that God has made for my home. I love you all and I miss you very much. I wish I could be there when my wife has our child, but tell her that I love her, and Lord willing, I will be coming home soon. ~SEMPER, FI.~ ~AARON~ *Please KEEP AARON AND HIS WIFE AND HIS UNBORN CHILD IN YOUR PRAYERS! AND PLEASE, PASS IT ON!!

I admire the way a bunch of PUSSIES can criticize every thing our soldiers fo from the comforts of their computer desks.. STFU... Rhino

Yeah.. I know.. Not completely accurate but the double standard cannot be questioned.. And I know the problem isn't ALL Iraqi people and ALL of the Arab world.. Obviously the gentleman that started the email was a bit miffed about something.. BOOBIES!!

Got this from a friend today.. I must say that I agree... I am not condoning what happened to the Iraqi prisoners...however, I think it is vitally important that in my head I have these matters in proper perspective... * Saddam had Iraqi men, women and children put to death in human meat grinders on a daily basis...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... *Saddam had people thrown off of 3 - 4 story buildings, while their relatives were forced to watch...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Saddam had people's tongues cut out, limbs chopped of, and even beheaded, while their families were forced to watch...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Saddam's sons, as well as other Administrators and military personnel raped and sodomized Iraqi girls, some as young as 8 years old, on a daily basis...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Saddam's regime indiscriminately put to death millions of Iraqi citizens on a daily basis, during the term of his brutal dictatorship, as evidenced by the mass graves recently uncovered in various parts of Iraq...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Terrorists recently exploded several car bombs in Baghdad, killing 17 innocent Iraqi children and several dozen innocent Iraqi citizens...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Terrorists have been killing American/Coalition soldiers on a daily basis since we sent our troops, many of whom gave their lives on Iraqi soil, used US taxpayer dollars to liberate the Iraqi people...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Four Americans were killed in Fallujah, their bodies were burned, mutilated, dragged through the streets and hung on a bridge...while Iraqi people cheered and stoned the bodies...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... AND NOW, A FEW IRAQI PRISONERS HAVE BEEN HUMILITATED (poor babies)...A PAIR OF WOMENS Underwear PUT ON THE PRISONERS HEADS, A FEW NAKED PHOTOGRAPHS...AND THE IRAQI PEOPLE AND THE ENTIRE ARAB COMMUNITY GO Ballistic...GIVE ME A BREAK!!! As said, I don't condone what happened to the prisoners...but until the Iraqi's and the Arab Community gets their act together...I wish the American news elite would stop being part of the problem and stop using this story to the benefit of the Arab community. I DON'T WANT MY PRESIDENT TO APOLOGIZE TO THE ARABS FOR ANYTHING! WE ARE AT WAR! If anyone has access to the President or their Senators and Representatives, you might want to forward this if you agree, if not just Delete, that's what the X at the top of this page is for.

The only reason they even give warnings is so UNLIKE 9/11 in the likely event of an eventual attack they can skate responsibility and say WE TOLD YOU SO.. Bunch of fucking idiots running this whole security hoe down.. Rhino

SNAFU?

They also have the right to walk BEHIND their husbands wearing full body and face garments.. Sometimes on the other side of the road? Am I right?

And you know for sure where those pictures came from?? You are as guilty as spreading shit as the Al Jazeer press.. Complete b.s.. Rhino
