Iraq and Afghanistan

In Iraq, U.S. Marines Rely on Allies Like a Hatchet-Wielding Colonel to Keep the Peace

Colonel Ahmed is a Iraqi Patriot

I worked closely with Col Ahmed and he is a true patriot. He does his duty to protect the people of Ramadi and his own family. He adheres to Iraq law, ensures his prisoners are well treated, and stays two steps ahead of the murderous Al Qaeda thugs. Col Ahmed and men like him are the future of a great Iraq. The sacrifice of men like him and a lot of Americans have Iraq on the right path.

A Country Ran By Fear

Its sad a country has to be ran by fear, but apparently thats what it takes for now. Just hope Col. Ahmed is not planning to add to his trophy wall. Also wondering, if an election is about to take place, why are prisoners being released now. Why not wait until after elections, don't they have enough headaces to deal with during that, but what do I know.

Great. Give the wretched place back to Colonel Ahmed. In time he will be using the hatchet to chop people's hands off.

But hey, Muslims love Sharia, or whatever.

Meanwhile, American soldiers belong in America.
