Iraq
...between life and death...
2008-01-14
I came across the following post at patdollard.com, recounting where Iraqis pointed out booby-trapped houses to our marines. In the comments section, I found the following story. No link to an official news source but, quite frankly, given what transpired, I would think that the MSM will swallow broken glass before publishing this:

dad3-7

i have talked to hundreds of parents all over the U.S. one dad told me of his sons MARINE unit was on patrol when they came upon a little girl sitting and crying in the street. she was holding a doll the MARINE gave her the day b4.. she was sitting so the patrol couldnft go around her, the son of the guy i was talking to got out of his hummer and approached the little girl and asked her what was wrong.. she pointed to 3Œ away fm where she was sitting, the was planted an IED.. she saved those MARINES fm death and injury.. this dad was crying while he told me of his sons ordeal.. that little girl placed her life ahead of the MARINESc.SEMPER FI mr lying murka


Honey, if you want a green card when you grow up, just breathe the word, because you deserve it more than 15 million current "residents" of these United States.
