I took a few photos of the main office before I got on the bus to head home a few days ago. In stark contrast to the night – we have sunlight – just want to make sure you all know that we have the sun over here too. I only see the sun [...] We have the option of using headsets and talking to anyone we desire via VOIP with the computers in the internet “cafe”. Normally, I can blank out any other conversations but the guy next to me is a complete and total idiot. The person on the other end of the conversation has got to [...] I’ve uploaded some photos that I’ve either taken or acquired from here or there and I’ve posted them in the gallery. Feel free to check them out if so inclined. Here are a few from the gallery admin edit – photos removed This is not from an explosion, rather, its from the trash fire [...] The current situation in Iraq has been under intense scrutiny and debate for some time. We find it ever more in the spotlight as the democrats and republicans use it against each other for political gain. General Petraeus recently gave testimony to the Armed Services Committee and provided them with this slide. I haven’t [...] According to the Washington Post the war in Iraq could be illegal without new legislation before the end of the year.

Today I’ve got a few numbers of note - 365 – Its been an entire year since I started dating Jessica and it’s been the best year that I can remember. We’ve had the luck of finding each other and it’s been an absolute [...] I read a great article at the NY Times that details the last five years in Iraq. The journalist, who spent the last five years in that country, offers an interesting take on what is transpiring in the country. We claim what victories we can and some victories are not all they are cracked [...] I received some amazing pictures of a MRAP that got hit by an IED. The truck hit a 500 pound explosive device – all occupants were able to walk away from the truck. The only injury to the occupants was to the driver who broke a few ribs on the steering wheel. The truck [...] I woke yesterday and found not blue skies as I was used to but something much more sinister and disgusting. It was like the whole world was in a sepia filter and it had a strange color wash – we were in a brown world. The sky was being choked out by the dust [...] |
