| AQ is really screwed now. Tongan Marines are being deployed in Iraq. |

| #7 One time on my armored bus ride to BIAP I was riding with about 25 Fijian soldiers who were doing UN security duty in the IZ. They had their iron with them, and while I never felt the slightest bit concerned on those trips, that night I was particularly happy to have those big, tough, friendly folks aboard. I assume the Tongan Marines are similar, and to echo others here, pleez pleez pleez let there be some altercations where bad guys (AQI, Sunnis, Shi'a militia) tussle with them. While the passivity and daintiness of the US forces depressed us full time during my stint, we'd also lament how the South Koreans were idling away up in Irbil, instead of clashing with the dishonorable and inept tough guys of Iraq. |

| #6 Add a collection of bagpipers, and it would be perfect. Oh, and could we send the USMC Band to perform there too? |

| #4 Can't wait for the Tongans to psyche out the AQs with their war dances .... and for someone in the MSM to realize it's a great lead clip. |
