Well, Mr. Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi... Good riddance, and I say this in all sincerity. I hope your trip to hell is as unpleasant as your stay there.
Upon hearing the news of this murdering scum passing, I raised a glass of fine Scotch, tilted it back drank it as if it were his blood and celebrated his passing. Then, for the first time in a long time I felt at peace. I am not conflicted about being happy at the death of this man. He is... WAS a murdering piece of excrement. I am still at heart a soldier, and he was an enemy of my nation, and Iraq.
Now on to more uplifting news, World Cup 2006 is now under way! World Cup is like life and death, but more important! We "Americans" call it soccer and don't really pay attention to it. Growing up, I was to short to play football, but I found that being small, and lower to the ground, I was pretty fast and pretty darn good at soccer. So, when World Cup comes around, I am usually glued to my tele, and cheering the perfect game. This year Team USA is the best team we have ever fielded, give it a watch, and root...root... root for the home team at the old ball game!
Oh, by the way, did you know in Mexico it is a felony punishable by 2 years in prison to be an illegal immigrant? I believe that flying a foreign flag is also a felony (Save for those flags of sovereign nations at designated embassies and consulates). Just food for thought...
The Guard is now moving down to the US border to set up shop and attempt to stem the tide of illegals crossing at random and at will into the Southern United States. Hmmmm... How is the Gulf Coast doing these days? Just a question, cause last time I checked it was in need of some new fences and a few thousand homes...

Luther and I watched England beat Paraguay today. USA plays Czech Republic Monday! Looking forward to it.
Interesting thing about Mexico... But I wonder who would want to be an immigrant there?

Good to see you posting again. I truly miss your take on the war and life in general. Heh! ...not sure which banner you'll run under in 2008; but, let us know. Regardless of your affiliation, I'll be happy to toss a dollar or two your way. This nation needs more men like you in positions of leadership.
Happy Trails!

This sentence: "Growing up, I was to short to play football, but I found that being small, and lower to the ground, I was pretty fast and pretty darn good at soccer."
Has a grammatical error and is a runon sentence. FIX IT POSTIE!
