There's other things happening in this world besides Katrina
U.S. Army soldiers from Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 508th Infantry (Airborne), prepare to move out on another mission in Mangritae, Afghanistan, on June 25, 2005. The soldiers are patrolling the area and searching for remaining members of the Taliban.

Thanks for the photos Alice. I posted the photo of the troops building a playground, also taken by Sgt. Cooley and got a note from him.
I wish I could access the DOD site that has all these photos. I know there are many stories that we are not being told by the press because they don't show us in a bad light, or make Bush look bad.
In this case, it shows the military in a good light. And if you noticed, the photo was not taken by anyone in the press, but someone that is actually there on the ground with these guys.
I just don't want them to be forgotten, that's all.
I have enjoyed reading this very much.
well as we all know, the lack of playgrounds is what made saddam hussein such a mean son of a bitch. now that our troops are building both playgrounds and schools terrorism should come to an abrupt end.
car bombs, suicide bombers, a weak police force, meaningless constitution and civil war be damned, iraq has playgrounds! take that, liberals!
Thanks philip for stopping by. The door is always open.
These are the heroes that the MSM hates. Their bravery, common sense and patriotism are an inspiration.
haha david vance you dumb bastard, no one hates them. grow up, get a brain, shit...
oh, it should be "there are other things..." not "there is"
there is would be singular, but "things" is plural.
Oh Hi Alice,
I see you have English majors here! Oh ick! You know what!? I don’t care!
I love the pictures nice site and thanks for visiting!
Great pics Alice. Thanks.
I can't believe that one of your whacko contributors managed to mock the building of a playground for those beautiful Iraqi children. Sure beats the baby jails they USED to be in under SoDamn Insane. I see he also mocks the Iraqi and their democratic struggle toward completing a constitution. Among other things. Then he calls a very intelligent person a dumb bastard. Stevie really knows how to debate, doesn't he?
well you can take the iraqi constitution for what it is; the application of islamic law as the law of the land for a "democratic" country. not only does the "constitution" recognize the religion of islam as the only religion there is but it also focuses on islamic holy law as a foundation for most of its principles. couple this to the complete exclusion of the sunnis and you have a terrific document.
i love the fact that we're building new playgrounds and schools and whatever else we're building but if half the country is without a job, and half the country doesn't even have electricity and running water i'm not sure what the point of having a new playground and school is. maybe as a reward should you escape the car bomb, run out of your dark house and then wash yourself in a nice running well.
and i called david a dumb bastard because his comment was one a dumb bastard would make. i would think you guys are intelligent enough to recognize a stupid fucking comment for what it is.
viva bush!
Hey Alice, do you ever read "gut rumbles"? Acidman got so tired of his trolls that he started editing their comments and making them say all sorts of interesting things..... *evil grin*
Just thought I would pass that on to you.
If you are linked to him, I may just amble over to check him out.
hey only 150 civilians died today in baghdad. that isn't so bad.
I think I have him linked as "Acidman". He's very grouchy! *grin* I absolutely adore him though. He's fun.
150 dead yesterday in downtown baghdad. the largest city in iraq and people there aren't safe. but they can vote! and they have a "constitution."
