something is not right with that bulldozer. Oh, I know! . It's a shame that other people cannot find someone innocent until convicted in a court of law.

Any info on that casualty carried on a blanket? Nationality? Dead or wounded?

I believe it's an wounded Iraqi.

Here's the Swedish disposable tank buster Bofors AT4. US has aquired 600 000 of them. I bet some of them are carried by coalition footsoldiers in Iraq.

There has been a debate in Sweden if the weapons export to US, UK (and since last night, Denmark!) should be banned. It is a violation to Swedish law to sell weapons to either part in a conflict. However, the government and a majority of the parliament voted the export should go on. Our defence industry is too much integrated with US and UK to stop export to them.

Was this law put in place after WWII?

Those are all enlisted airmen. Well, not the pilots.(the Captain in the front, plus the other.)

I suspect it's a jet that requires lotsa enlisted personnel to operate it. Perhaps a KC-135 or an E-3....

SMOKE OVER BAGHDAD

It's well known that the air force has hotter chicks than the navy.

The ships I were on weren't outfitted for many navy women. But those that were on my ships were uuuuuuggglllleee. It's times like those you wish they did serve beer aboard U.S. navy ships like they do on British ships.
