A Return to Normalcy in Kirkuk
KIRKUK — In the southern Rishad valley of Kirkuk province lies the remote village of Gaydah, located several miles off the nearest main road and even further from the nearest substantial city or district.
Already accustomed to seclusion, the village residents were surprised when Soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division showed up in their community in February. The residents were more surprised when they announced that they would set up operations there; living and working with the residents for the next two months.
Operating from within a schoolhouse in the area, the Soldiers spent the next several weeks meeting with the villagers, providing humanitarian aid, rebuilding infrastructures, and planning future civil service projects.

THOSE SADLY ILL-INFORMED FOREIGNERS: from Instapundit.
Is it any coincidence that most of our Olympic champions were privately educated? My thoughts exactly.
Nato holds Georgia crisis summit as Russia moves missile launchers INTO the country after promising to withdraw forces. NATO can do f**k all. The Anglosphere are the only countries with the military capability to do anything and we are a bit busy right now. If this doesn't get the Eurowimps to take defence seriously nothing will.
SAS to be used to tackle Taliban in Afghanistan. They already are.
August set to be 'wettest in 100 years'. I think we already know this.
'IRA Semtex' used in Northern Ireland attack. They never disarmed.
Why haven't the Left got Georgia on their minds? Because they all miss the totalitarian 'utopia' that was the Soviet union. -DJ Elliott writes on this: That 0.46% of Iraqs weapons that originated from the US were captured from Iran and Kuwait. Not purchased...
I hear the same BS (left-wing talking point) here in the states all the time. They never can explain why all the armor on the Iraqi side was Soviet and why the aircraft were MiGs, Sukois, Tupolov, and Mirage. Apparently, the US owned(s) the armaments industries of USSR, China, and France...
Iran is the country with US weapons. We armed them up to 1979 fall of the Shah. About half their equipment is still old US. The Iran-Iraq War was a Red-on-Red fight from the US standpoint.
