Pictures from Iraq

Great site filled with pictures MSM chooses not to show.

The pictures they dont' want you to see. YES war is not pretty - our Media reminds us of this eveyday. Soldiers are sacraficing their lives in trying to bring Democracy to an oppressed people. However there is another side they choose not to show.

There are also Fruits of War. These children have been given a glimpse of Freedom. These children will remember our efforts. These are the hearts and minds that are being changed for the good. Our soldiers will not have sacrificed their lives in vain... But we must not give up on them!

And be sure to read the letter Dear America written by a LT in the USMC. Very powerful.

Its sad that this material isn't and will never be covered by the media to the extent of trash like F 9/11. I guarantee you that 3/4 of America believes wholeheartedly that the majority of Iraqis are insurgents that want to kill Americans. I have my dad yelling at me for joining the Army, saying how we should "pull out right away" or even worse, "we should just bomb them and kill them all because they don't want us there." He watches CNN.

Extraordinary!

Ms. Gypsy,
Those are extraordinary images. This is highly reccomended viewing for all here.

Too bad someone couldn't take out a page in newspapers all over and just post these giving only the date and location. No other words are needed.

Thank you Ma'am.

Glad you enjoyed them, Sir. Wish I had the money to do just that, but hopefully the site will be shared with others. Word of mouth is a pretty darned powerful tool.
