Thanks. BTW, Did you see him, dressed in gala uniform, rubbing shoulders with Ambassador Ashe? That's what puzzles me a bit about him - unless every American soldier is treated so royally abroad.
Well I wasn't sure if posted or not.

@Jocker_89
Care to explain the title "Iraq: Assistance in ruins"?
Are you being sarcastic - stressing futility of such efforts, or do you mean "providing assistance to people living among the ruins"?
If you mean the latter - you should have seen the real ruins, many years ago, at the center of Paris, known as Belleville, where the Algerians used to live. My French girlfriend used to be a social worker, and I would accompany her there from time to time. Man, that was really a scary place - almost as on photos of Warsaw after WW2. Staircases hazardously hanging by some rusty rods, kids playing in some holes. I have not been to Paris for more than 10 years, so I can only guess that Algerians live at suburbia now.
In rural areas and in small cities even pretty new Iraqi houses look like ruins.
What doesn't change the fact that some of them have been destroyed, during the last four years.
I do not remember what country it is, but I am pretty sure that it is one of those "civilized" countries, where people never finish their newly built houses. One typically sees some iron rods sticking up through the roofs.In rural areas and in small cities even pretty new Iraqi houses look like ruins.

Apparently one does not pay taxes for an unfinished house.
Hearts and minds in Paktika
There is an article in Stars and Stripes today entitled
"Commander: U.S. did not know children were at raid site",

This event will indirectly affect Poles in Paktika, although they have not been involved in the incident. Col. Schweitzer and his boys are still responsible for the eastern part of Paktika, bordering with Pakistan. But Lt.Col. Strąk, a commander of the Polish Battle Group, reports to Col. Schweitzer - as you know.
Not good.

Paktika and Ghazni provnices are really sh!tty place. This accident makes it worse.
btw: Strąk, not Stręk
I have only translated "Assistance in ruins" from polish title "Pomoc w ruinach"
And about the ruins in France I can't even imagine that how it can look
Yes, it sounds equally well in both languages.I have only translated "Assistance in ruins" from polish title "Pomoc w ruinach"
I was not trying to sound facetious. I did not noticed any ruins at first on those pictures, so that's why I asked.
