Tough Picture

[Patriot Heart]

I wish I could hug this troop. I'll have to pray my hugs I guess. I did not cut and paste the pic because it said not to.

Thanks for the link. This is what the leftist media should be showing about our military rather than focusing on every mistake they might make.

Rest in peace, little one.

This is what the leftist media should be showing about our military rather than focusing on every mistake they might make.If the MSM traitors used it, the caption would be something about another innocent victim of US aggression in an illegal war. The MSM have no shame, no consciences, and no souls.

God bless this GI, who doubtless was thinking of his own children back home as the little one died, perhaps in his arms.

Lord, open your Mighty Arms and carry your child home. And please bless the soldier, and give his heart peace. Thank you for tender mercies hidden in the soulful acts of brave individuals, who risk their own for the good of others. Please touch the lives of the parents, as well, Father, if they have survived this ordeal -- give family and loved ones Your Assurance that You are in control. In the name of your Blessed Son, Jesus, we ask,
Amen.

John Gibbson today on fox talked about this and said you aren't going to see this on Al Jazeera, or the bbc or french tv or the MSM it need s to be seen.

From the guy who snapped the picture...

(I highlighted how brave terrorists are)

Mosul

Major Mark Bieger found this little girl after the car bomb that attacked our guys while kids were crowding around. The soldiers here have been angry and sad for two days. They are angry because the terrorists could just as easily have waited a block or two and attacked the patrol away from the kids. Instead, the suicide bomber drove his car and hit the Stryker when about twenty children were jumping up and down and waving at the soldiers. Major Bieger, I had seen him help rescue some of our guys a week earlier during another big attack, took some of our soldiers and rushed this little girl to our hospital. He wanted her to have American surgeons and not to go to the Iraqi hospital. She didn't make it. I snapped this picture when Major Bieger ran to take her away. He kept stopping to talk with her and hug her.

The soldiers went back to that neighborhood the next day to ask what they could do. The people were very warming and welcomed us into their homes, and many kids were actually running up to say hello and to ask soldiers to shake hands.

The camel-humping, spineless, butt-kissing SOB's knew the soldiers would be busy looking after the kids instead of tearing the murdering camel boys new as*holes, and that would give them time to slither back into their sewer holes.

You can run, but you will not escape, cowards!
