I am awestruck at the bravery and humanity and just plain gorgeousness of the Marines! Even under the most difficult and horrendous conditions the guys (and gals) look gorgeous and I am sure the overwhelming majority of Iraqis feel the same. No, I am not being trite - they are simply BEAUTIFUL!
THANK YOU HEROES!

Those pictures are great to see. All that food going to waste while people go

It's quite likely...
IIRC, the snipers train at 800 yds. The ranges
are set up with firing positions 1000 yds away from the targets.
My
brother-in-law shoots 1000 yd. matches monthly with similar rifles. His personal
best is a 5-shot group measuring just under 5 inches.

This is reminiscent of Afghan's freedom...
Children enjoy a new swing as a US Navy soldier guard a playground during a
visit by a US Navy admiral hours after a team of Seabees set up the playground
in Umm Qasr, Iraq Sunday April 6, 2003. The Seabees have started working with
locals in repairing roads, setting up playgrounds and helping in the
distribution of potable water in an effort to return life to normal, following
two weeks of battles against Iraqi forces, which culminated in coalition forces
invading and taking over the town.
