Fluff-Filled Toys and Children, Perfect Match
By SPC Karl Johnson – 363rd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment

Right: Sara, a child living in Baghdad, with Beanie Baby “Courage”. The toy was a gift from Army Maj Jim Barker, whose letter back home telling his family how much the child loved the toy resulted in he non-profit organization Beanies for Baghdad being founded in May 2003. To date, more than 150,000 of the stuffed toys have been passed out by Soldiers since the project began.

BAGHDAD — In a country where having a toy is a rarity, Soldiers passing out beanie babies to Iraqi children can become very popular.

“The children’s faces just light up when they see you,” said Sgt. 1st Class Alan Certain, Company C, 490th Civil Affairs Battalion. “It’s amazing to see what an effect a simple toy can have on a kid.”

The civil affairs Soldiers pass out the small toys during their missions in central Iraq.
To date more than 150,000 of the miniature stuffed animals have been distributed throughout the war-torn nation with the help of Beanies for Baghdad, a nonprofit organization. What started as an attempt to get one child to smile has turned into a project that is helping Soldiers build positive bonds with the Iraqi people.

“This is forming the beginning of friendships between the children and the Soldiers,” said Donna Ward, Beanies for Baghdad project manager. “The hope for a better tomorrow is found in the children of Iraq.”

“We are hoping to see an entire new generation of Iraqis who trust that we are their friends and that we’re here to help them,” said Capt. Darrell Retheford, Co. C, 490th CA Bn.

The success of Beanies for Baghdad has just begun, said Ward. “We have so much more we hope to accomplished,” she said. “These little ones didn’t ask to be born in the conditions they are growing up in and this is a way we can make a difference.” “I personally feel this is a small gesture we as Americans and other countries can do to help our Soldiers sow seeds of friendship and to give these children something to smile about in a war-torn land,” said Ward.

U.S. Airstrike Not a Bust

It sounds like last week’s attack on an Islamic terror conclave in western Pakistan may not have been a bust after all. The Provincial Government indicates that there were at least four foreign terrorists killed in the strike along with 14 other “collateral” victims.

My opinion? Anybody harboring terrorists anywhere, makes them a valid target, be they nations or villages. The “women and children” killed were likely indoctrinated by Al Qaeda extremists and fall into the same terrorist category by virtue of their “hate America” mantra, often taught from birth. I think the strike actually got eighteen terrorists who were committed enemies of the United States.

Good shot guys!

Pakistan: Four Foreign Terrorists Killed in U.S. Airstrike

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — At least four foreign terrorists died in the purported U.S. airstrike aimed at Al Qaeda’s No. 2 leader in a Pakistani border village, the provincial government said Tuesday.

A statement, issued by the administration of Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal regions bordering Afghanistan, also said that between 10 and 12 foreign extremists had been invited to the dinner at the village hit in Friday’s attack.

It was the first official confirmation by Pakistani authorities that foreign militants were killed in the attack on the village of Damadola. Women and children also died, triggering outrage in this Islamic nation.

The statement did not identify who the foreigners may have been or who was the target of the missile strike.

Pakistani intelligence officials have said Ayman al-Zawahiri, Usama bin Laden’s top lieutenant, had been invited to a dinner in the targeted village of Damadola to mark an Islamic holiday but did not show up and sent some aides instead.

Iran Blames US for Jet Crashes

From Fox News:Military Jet Crashes in Iran

TEHRAN, Iran — A small military jet crashed in northwestern Iran on Monday, killing the commander of the ground forces of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards and at least 12 other people, state media said.

The plane, which belongs to the Revolutionary Guards, was attempting an emergency landing at Oroumieh, located 560 miles northwest of the capital, Tehran, near the Turkish border, state television reported.

. . .

State television said the plane was a Falcon jet, which is the preferred aircraft of high-ranking military officers in Iran.

Falcon Jets are built in France by Dassault Falcon Jet Corp.

The article goes on to articulate the Iranian complaint and some of its aviation history:

Iran has a history of aircraft accidents involving a heavy loss of life. The government has blamed the U.S. trade embargo which makes it impossible for Iran to buy parts for its old US-built aircraft.

In December, 115 people were killed when a military transport plane crashed into a 10-story apartment building near Tehran’s Mehrabad airport as the pilot was returning to the airport shortly after takeoff to make an emergency landing.

In 2003, a Russian-made Ilyushin-76 carrying members of the Revolutionary Guards crashed in the mountains of southeastern Iran, killing 302 people.

In 2002, a Russian-made Tupolev Tu-154 struck snow-covered mountains in western Iran, killing all 119 people on board.

So, is Iran blaming the US for the Russians not selling them Ilyushin and Tupolev parts? Or are they blaming us because they have to fly French and Russian POS aircraft instead of superior US-built aircraft?

Deluded Iranian and other middle eastern idiots will blame everything on America, regardless of the facts.

Belafonte, Glover, West – Traitors

During WWII to consort with enemies of America was considered treason. Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover and Cornel West are no less treacherous since they openly support and cavort with socialist dictator Hugo Chavez who has declared himself an enemy of America, and is one of the four most dangerous men in the world.

From Fox News:

Belafonte Says Bush Is ‘Greatest Terrorist in the World,’ Praises Venezuelan Dictator

Sunday, January 08, 2006

CARACAS, Venezuela — The American singer and activist Harry Belafonte called President Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world” on Sunday and said millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.

Belafonte led a delegation of Americans including the actor Danny Glover and the Princeton University scholar Cornel West that met the Venezuelan president for more than six hours late Saturday. Some in the group attended Chavez’s television and radio broadcast Sunday.

Read the entire Fox News article here.

I would think twice before becoming a member of the American Association of Retired People, who named Belafonte as Person of the Year.

I am inducting Celebridiots® Belafonte and Glover into Cap’n Bob and Damsel’s Star Whores Hall of Shame in recognition of their extreme ignorance and for endorsing a dictator who terrorizes and intimidates his own people and threatens the stability of the Americas.

This is our “Freedom Fighter” Enemy

Michael Moore Moron and other moonbats on the left think that the Taliban and Al Qaeda are like “minutemen” merely fighting for their freedom in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is an example of the freedom they seek:

FOXNews.com – U.S. & World – Taliban Beheads Teacher for Educating Girls

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Officials on Wednesday blamed Taliban militants for beheading a teacher in a central Afghan town, the latest in a string of attacks against educators at schools where girls study.

Armed men decapitated Malim Abdul Habib in his home in the town of Qalat late Tuesday and forced his wife and children to watch, said Ali Khail, a provincial government spokesman. The assailant did not harm the other relatives, he said.

The attackers then fled and the wife called the police, Khail said. Police are questioning three people who were guests in the victim’s home at the time.

Habib was the headmaster of Shaikh Mathi Baba high school, which is attended by 1,300 boys and girls.

The insurgents claim that educating girls is against Islam and they even oppose government-funded boys’ schools because they teach subjects other than religion.

Zabul province’s education director Nabi Khushal blamed Taliban rebels.

“Only the Taliban are against girls being educated,” he said. “The Taliban often attack our teachers and beat them. But this is the first time one has been killed in this province.”

The militant assholes that did this will never stop. They not only want to impose their insane ideas in their land, but they want to kill you – all of us, and rule an Islamic world. If you have any doubt about that, then you are part of the problem. The only thing that can be done to curtail an infestation of global magnitude, is to exterminate it.
