Default Chemical Ali

As sobering as this is, it gives me a bit of a moral boost about our involvement in Iraq. This dude was pure evil, and it's rare that we can bring full justice to his kind...

Perhaps a generation or two ahead the children of Iraq will realize what a profound effect we have had on their nation by clearing guys like this out. It was the rule of "might makes right" with justice nowhere to be found, and we gave them some hope.

In the 20th Century the US military brought the greatest gift of all, Freedom, to 30 countries. Yet we are still referred around the world as the Great Satin.

All that has been asked for in return, is a small amount of space to bury our dead.

This to me is very frustrating.

Like most pilots I can't spell, guess I need to proof read a little better before the send key.
