Im sure everyone else's blood is boiling the same way mine is about the terrorist attacks in London. I will hate to be on the recieving end of what the brits are about to bring on the cowards who executed over 50 noncombatants on their way to work. This is why I look forward to my mission over there. We will not rest until they are free and Al Zarquoi, the murderer he is, I would like to have his head on a pole. I truly think we must do what they did in the old days: each terrorist we kill should have their heads on poles 100 meters apart. I also think we should do what Roosevelt did to the terrorist in the Phiilipines. That can be someones homework for this blog. Over 50 people killed, heading to work on bussess and trains, not expecting a thing. I hope Tony Blair has balls as big as the Iron Lady when she was in power. You did not mess with England or Great Britain, or whatever you would like to call them. You may not like George Bush for whatever reason, but thank God he has balls, balls enough to go after murderers and the sorts of them. I have never really been political until recent years, and I have had great conversations with my dad and step mom about the war. I have received e mails from people I havent heard from in years( Hi again, Mollie, great to hear from you and Im glad you have seen the light :) ) but appeasment and the united nations will not work. Well, the united nations are nothing but crooks looking to line their own pockets and are about as effective as a 90 year old man on cialis. IT AINT GONNA WORK NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!!!!

Good lord, Im done with that. On to better things. Last night was like Christmas, we gou our new equipment. I got my new body armor last week and love it. Fits like a glove and yet allows me to breath out there in the heat. I got new boots, gloves t shirts, etc and love em. We are supposed to be getting the new Army ACU's ( Army Combat Uniform ) which is the digital stuff. Pretty sharp. We have hit the half way point here in Camp Shelby, the 5th ring of Dante's Inferno. This place sucks. It would be nice here, minus the heat, but I have to wait to give my thoughts on that. I just want to get incountry where the days count and I can get home.

Family update. John is doing fabulous at T Ball and charges the ball, dives and throws to first. He is a full foot shorter than his 'mates but has more energy and drive and wants to be out there, unlike the kids he plays with. Annies has been out practicing with John as well as Granpa has been, too , and it looks like it is paying off. John is getting really good at playing.

Adam is keeping mom's hands full. Annie was "in tow " the whole time they were at T Ball and kept her moving. God, to have Adam and John's energy would be something.

Take care. I will be out of the loop for awhile, at least until Monday. We are heading to the FOB (Forward Operating Base) to run ops out of there. No hardline phone, no connectivity, nothing. My cell barely reaches so I will stay in touch with family...
