I find it amazing that most MSM sources have dropped this to a 4th or 5th place headline. Keep shooting Israel, never stop, as long as the Muslims attack, keep on giving it back to them!!

For those that like a cold beer after a hard days work, if you’ve never been in a position that you were NOT allowed even 1 beer, unless there was some kind of *special occasion*, you can’t even imagine what these guys go through or how much they appreciate the chance to have a cold one!

Not trying to be overly critical of the TVA but wouldn’t such things as this and the other *dike* failure recently indicate that *maybe* they need to take some action before there is a massive catastrophe that threatens ALL of us?? Just sayin’…
Since when did the military ban drinking beer in combat zones?
I think it’s not because of the combat zone reason but that it’s a Muslim country and alcohol is usually forbidden.
Shoot, I didn’t read the article far enough. Here’s the reason why beer is banned.
“Drinking alcohol isn’t illegal in Iraq but is banned under Islam, and extremists have frequently targeted liquor stores.”
We don’t want to offend Islam, do we?
BobF, I thought the same thing when I heard this way back, I guess in ’04 and ’05 when my son was there..
The 256th BCT was allowed a beer, maybe 2, not sure, but were allowed beer during the Mardi Gras celebration, since the 256th is Louisiana National Guard…
The next beer they got was in Germany on the way home…
Fred I agree whole heartedly with you on this, Israel needs to finish this with any and all force they deem required. The surrounding Islamic countries need to know that they are going to be crushed if they attack any nation no matter where no matter who. Israel is now setting that very important precident. (I did however find a great deal of humor in the other story about how the number two idiot of Al Qaeda blamed Barry Obambi for the Israeli response.)
As far as the panda issue, These idiots need to pay for anything that happened to the panda while they were being rescued from the resultand response from the panda. These morons are lucky if they arrived in my house uninvited I think they would have wished that all I did was bit their legs off. How stupid can you be.
