There are good men in Iraq
Chief Wiggles Strikes Again!Via Lucianne: The front door to the house swung wide, and the former general in Saddamâs air force ushered us warmly in. "Welcome to our home," he said. "You are our honoured guests." At his side were his dark-haired wife, dressed in her very best, and their three excited children. Inside, a splendid Middle Eastern feast awaited us. The general had spent seven months in an American POW camp, and the dinner was to celebrate his homecoming. It was also to thank the man who had become his friend and helped to get him out -- the American whoâd been in charge of interrogating him. Chief Wiggles belongs to Utahâs 141st Military Intelligence Battalion. He is tall and lanky, pale-skinned, pale-haired, sentimental and kind. In his spare time he runs a toy drive for Iraqi kids. Until July, his main job was to debrief Mazin and the 13 other generals who had surrendered at the beginning of the war.... After hours of talk and food, it was time to go. The chief and the general parted in the way that close male friends do here. The general put his hand over his heart. "I love you," he said in English. And the chief put his hand over his heart, and said "I love you" back. Posted by: Anonymous 2003-11-04 |
