looks like those picture links went dead fast. Sorry for those who couldn't see them. They were pictures of US troops helping Iraqi citizens and Iraqi citizens helping or showing support to the US troops.
I'm only getting the boxes with the red X in the center! This happens at times. How do i fix this?
It is good too see some of the good stuff for once. I did see the second photo on another site last week and it is supposedly doctored.
Not sure. Don't really care if it was the boys desrve to be shown in a positive light

Fox has segmant with live interviews from troops bout 3 times a week on Vester show at noon. See lots of these photos or situations. Coomon gripe by 90% of those interviewed is that media only shows the bad and not the good happening over there. I will agree though Matt--Fox is quilty as rest on prime time coverage.
I guess from media standpoint in general catastrophes make better viewing--personally to me it makes coverage of golf in Hawaii last week and this week much more enjoyable.Hawaii has got to be the most pleasant place on earth--beautiful scenery--no snakes-no flys-perfect weather--very few Muslims--less than 3,000

Soldiers from the 9th Infantry Regiment and Marines from the 1st Marine Division get set up to pass out blankets, clothing and food to the local Iraqi people south of the town of Ar Ramadi, Iraq during Operation Robin Hood on 5 January 2005. Operation Robin Hood is a relief effort to supply local Iraqis with food and blankets. The 1st Marines Division in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom is engaged in Security and Stabilization Operations in the Al Anbar Province in Iraq.
As part of an on-going effort to reach out and work within those communities in their area of operations, commanders look for locations where the United States can best provide civil assistance.
?We were constantly receiving emails from friends and family members back home wanting to know what they could do to help out,? said Staff Sgt. Joseph Campbell, the battalion civil-military liaison NCO (S-5). ?We worked with the area council members and identified an easy and affordable means by which they (friends and families) could help.?
Located in the Rusafa district of Baghdad, The 14th of July School, an all girls school, is part of the battalion?s neighborhood.
?This was a win-win type situation,? Campbell said, ?family members were able to be involved and we were able to give something back to the community in which we live.?
Speaking through a translator, Lt. Col. Charles Sexton, the battalion?s commander, led the students in a chant of ?S-C-H-O-O-L? and held a competition to see which class was the loudest.
The class deemed the loudest received their new backpacks first.
?We all know how important school is, and we all know how important it is that you have the right supplies to be able to complete your studies,? said Sexton. ?And, that is why I am proud to present to you this little gift from the Soldiers of the 1-36, ?Spartans,? and the American people.?
Being the fourth visit to area schools, Soldiers of the 1-36 have delivered about 400 backpacks per school bringing the distribution total to 1,500, Campbell said.
The pupils often let excitement get the better of them, much to their teachers? dismay. Ignoring calls to stay within their assembled groups, children asked the Soldiers for autographs and to have their picture taken with them.
?I love the American Soldier, they are beautiful. I love what they do for us,? said one student as she stood in line.
?As I look out on this group of outstanding students, many of you reaching an age where you will soon be going on to college, I?m happy to say that you are taking a step into a new future for Iraq,? said Col. Pete R. Mansoor, 1st Brigade Combat Team commander, ?a future where all will be able to receive an education no matter their race, religion, creed, or gender.?
What are you smokin? These belong on fake.com. Are you serious? Look at them. Where's Bush and his 3 wood?
Great photos - thanks.
Finally, some balanced perspective that shows how much good we are doing.
Please post this stuff when you get them, I don't see these facts on CNN, ABC, CBS, etc.

For those who have asked about military life in Iraq, here are some B-Roll videos that are a bit rough (in editing terms, not language or violence), but might give you an idea of the terrain and some of the things of interest to our military.
You need Windows Media Player to view or you can right-click and save-target-as to download the movies.
First, here's an interview with Captain Kevin Gilangorst (Walcott, IA), Commander of the 73rd Engineer Company in Mosul. He's asked if he has the equipment to the job, is Iraq as violent as the media portrays, and will the elections be successful? Sounds like Wolff Blitzer is the interviewer but I'm not sure... http://www.dvidshub.net/video/jump.php?1328
And here's video of Air Force Staff Sergeant Michael Huffman and Army Major Paul Krattiger talking about calling in close air support to deny terrain to insurgents who were firing rockets and mortars at Forward Operating Base Wilson. Included are night video of the bombs exploding and patrols accessing the damage done. Video is from the American Forces Network Iraq...http://www.dvidshub.net/video/jump.php?1311
Finally, many of you have wondered about the troops impressions of the M4 - here's an interview that might give you some insight. Video from the American Forces Network Iraq. They all say that they like the smaller size with the accuracy remaining the same as the M16A2. The last interviewee shows some modifications to the standard M4...http://www.dvidshub.net/video/jump.php?1308

It is aways amazing to me that every cynic out there has to play politics with everything. F***ckin Liberals, Sh*thead Bushies. Right/left, Nazi or communist.....It is the constant name calling, mass generalization and blind ambition that dooms us all to a life of never getting along with our friends, our enemies, our neghbors and ourselves.
Everyone.....GET OFF YOU HIGH HORSES and reach out to each other in the spirit n which these pictures are intended. We are all Americans.
