And yet, so many believe lives like this lost are no big deal."BAGHDAD - After weathering nearly five years of war, Baghdad residents thought they'd pretty much seen it all. But Friday morning, as muezzins were calling the faithful to prayer, the people here awoke to something certifiably new.For the first time in memory, snow fell across Baghdad.Although the white flakes quickly dissolved into gray puddles, they brought an emotion rarely expressed in this desert capital snarled by army checkpoints, divided by concrete walls and ravaged by sectarian killings — delight..."http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22608593 /

I think the snow is a bigger story.Massive U.S. air strikes pound insurgent havens south of BaghdadBy Hamza Hendawi, The Associated PressZAMBARANIYAH, Iraq - U.S. warplanes unleashed one of the most intense air strikes of the Iraq war Thursday, dropping more than 18,000 kilograms of explosives in a thunderous 10-minute onslaught on suspected "al-Qaida in Iraq" safe havens in Sunni farmlands south of Baghdad.The mighty barrage, recalling the Pentagon's "shock and awe" raids during the 2003 invasion, appeared to mark a significant escalation in a countrywide offensive launched this week to try to cripple remaining insurgent strongholds.--------------------------------------------Maj. Alayne Conway, a spokeswoman for troops in central Iraq, said the amount of ordnance dropped in 10 minutes nearly exceeded what had been used in that region in any month since last June.Conway said the air attack "was one of the largest air strikes since the onset of the war" in March 2003.---------------------------------------------------------"Thirty-eight bombs were dropped within the first 10 minutes, with a total tonnage of 40,000 pounds" the statement said. That tonnage would equal just over 18,000 kilograms.http://www.dailymail.com/News/200801100677

You got off your ass, now get your wife off her back.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Link? Oh, and I think our Air Force weather guys and the Iraqi weather guys know the difference between snow a f'n ashes, you dumbass libs.
So you're saying the Navy weather guys don't
