CNN insurgent sniper vids

After seeing the sniper vids on CNN over the weekend it really brought home what our brave men and women are really putting on the line over there!

Thoughts anyone???

And if you thought the CNN stuff was bad watch this;

Horrible! I could only take a few seconds of it. What's happening to our men and women over there is an atrocity, and I will leave it at that.

Once again, it is a military force..not a police force. Take a look at the movie (based on true elements) Enemy at the Gate.

Anyone see "Flags of our Fathers"? I saw it over the weekend. Very disturbing movie, even more graphic than Saving Private Ryan was.

I think every member of congress should be forced to watch a movie like that prior to voting whether or not to authorize war.

Bingo! You win a cookie.

Apparently our leaders do not know this simple piece of information.

My grandfather was a Division 4 Marine on Iwo Jima during the attack and was within shouting distance as they raised the flag. There is a book dedicated to Div 4 Marines, very cool.
