As usual, the good news goes unreported. There is tremendous re-enlistment in Baghdad......but it never made mainstream media...maybe it doesn't fit with their reporting of the hollow force, poor morale, etc. For those who have been in the Al Faw Palace you'll have a better estimation of the number of people crammed in the rotunda. Here is a re-enlistment ceremony from Baghdad on the 4th of July, 2008. Somehow this did not make it into network news broadcasts (imagine that). Attached are pictures of what is reputedly the 'largest re-enlistment ceremony ever held in military history'. The ceremony was held July 4, 2008 at Al Faw Palace, Baghdad, Iraq. General Petraeus officiated. A pizzeria in Chicago donated 2000 pizzas that were made (frozen), shipped on Sunday, arrived in Baghdad Wednesday and were fed to the troops on the 4th. Oh, by the way, the media DID report on the 2000 pizzas...just not what they were for. THANKS TO OUR TROOPS! |
