I have some but I cant post them yet. I need to get on a computer where I can load them off my camera. This is western Iraq on the Euphrates River. Right on the Syrian border. As a matter of fact the first picture is part of Syria as well. All the way to the right maybe 30 feet off those buildings is the Iraq-Syria border.

There you are, in the Garden of Eden...funny, it isn't how I pictured it. Had an Anthropology prof that proposed that area as the Garden as Eden, Yuri Zarins (sp?).

Actually, I think the area they have pegged as the Garden of Eden is actually the marshes in southern Iraq. More of a garden spot, anyway.

after watching that I'm totally expecting a new flash game showing little Iraqi kids throwing rocks and you get to be the convoy driver and try to run them over

We had a little girl throw a dead rooster at us once. I think the first or second vehicle ran it over. She just kept throwing it at the trucks coming by.

I've seen other videos of troops "disciplining" kids after they were throwing rocks. AKA beating them with night sticks.

One of the other guys in the truck pointed his rifle out the windshield at her but that was it. Enough to not have her throw it at us anyways.

Those no workie for my FireFox. I used IE and saw them though, I never knew UO was coded for a black scroll bar.
