| One of those bombings occured in my AO, the other happened in my old AO. (AO = Area of Operation). They were both female, neither was handicaped. There is nothing wrong with that picture, it was about 60 degrees that day, freezing by an Iraqi's standards. The Iraqis are standing up to the militants in some places, just not all over yet. But hey, if we pay the bad guys to be good guys, then we might just run out of bad guys. Until the money dries up anyway. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this country is going to tear itself apart as soon as we step out of the picture. Saw a bumper sticker in arabic on one of our trucks the other day, I asked an interpeter what it said. Apparently is says "Dear Iraqi motorist, thank you for not exploding. Have a nice day."
