Two More Renovated Health Clinics To Open in Iraq ...
While the mainstream press remains doleful about Iraq, here's an article about another couple of clinics we've built.
From Officer Candidate Phil van Trueren, quoting DefendAmerica:
Anyway, here's a link to Centcom to all of the reconstruction projects we've got going, by province. Remember -- five years ago, the basic Iraqi construction projects involved mostly Saddam's palaces, and his sons' rape rooms.
Incidentally -- I tuned into the Laura Ingram program yesterday. She's in Iraq, and was visiting with a unit which has decided not to do their "hoorah's" like everybody else. Instead -- they sing "Hoorah" -- in perfect barbershop harmony, which they proceeded to do a half a dozen times during her interview. It was too fun.

From Officer Candidate Phil van Trueren, quoting DefendAmerica:
Heh. I just hope that new movie in Turkey, Valley of the Wolves, which features lies about American soldiers isn't run either.
As the partnership between the Iraqi army and coalition forces grows each day, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has invested more than $3.5 million into the local Iraqi community to open a renovated Iraqi army theater Jan. 28 and is getting ready to open two renovated health clinics within the next couple of weeks.I'd love to know what kind of movies actually get onto the marquee at an Iraqi army theatre, Katrina Campers . . . something tells me the new Dukes of Hazzard won't be on the list
