American Soldier's Blog In Iraq.....

[snooper2]

Was reading some various blog sites from Iraqis and found by accident this link to a soldier's blog he updates. Started on 6/3, last on 7/8...

Just started reading it but here's a snippet for you all...Some might find this blog interesting....

"his thrown was hilarious...it was like something out of a movie...it wasn't nice at all...it was big and painted gold with a moron cushion...it was like something Aladdin would sit in...i sat in it with my rifle...i smiled real big...i got my picture taken...i sat where the "big" guy sat...i think there was an indention...my butt crack was in saddam indention...i can die now..."

Here's the link...

1. its a shame Saddam

used so much of the people's money on stupid things like gold toilets. The man should have been tied up and they should have let the Iraqis shoot him.

2. sure but...

first they'd have to find him, and while they're at it maybe they could find Bin Laden and the guy who sent the anthrax too.

4. Bin Laden

gives such a bad name to the muslim religon. I would like to see both of them caught and taken off the face of this earth.

3. This is a pretty interesting read...and seems real...

Apart from a little blurb where he was talking about peeing on his girlfriends feet in the shower...

there's stuff like this...

"i read an article about sean penn...he took out a full page spread in the new york times...it must of cost him about half a million dollars to do, but he had something to say...he's been put into a place where he can express his views and unlike this blog...lots of people will read it...
i remember watching him on the larry king show a week or two before i deployed...he had, at that time, taken out a full page spread in the washington post...it was a letter to the president and it made sense to me...i found myself nodding along and speaking out words of agreement towards the t.v...he had just arrived back at home from his trip over here...he wanted to put a face on our "enemy"...he wanted to do this for america...i appreciate what he did...the media ate him alive...as any normal person would have guessed...they will probably name him the fonda of our war...i hope not..."

His take on the Iraqi ants is pretty funny....

5. Fascinating blog

And fortunately, not nearly as illiterate as the excerpt you pulled.

6. I hope everyone takes the time to read this...

Some really good insight...

Here's another snip..

"we volunteered for this...we sit here because we raised our hand...and sold our souls...most would think that we knew exactly what we were getting into...they would be wrong...we were naive...we were homeless...we were living with our mothers...this is just a job for 97% of us...and the majority of the u.s. military barely pays enough attention to the news and current events to make a sound stand on any kind of political belief...it's sad...only 40% of america even votes...the percentage slice of the military is even smaller...

maybe that's why we signed up in the first place...because we didn't really know what the hell was going on..."

7. Shameless Bump...

Since I think this is more important to read than a thread about (Is Dusty Baker a racist?)....sheesh...
Some insight into what being in Iraq is really like, and the Dusty Baker thread has 45 posts....

This guy is even reading Noam Chomsky

9. Can't get the page to load

Maybe that's why this isn't getting alot of response. Just a thought.
