Part One, Part Two, Part Three, and now, Part Four;
Someone is picking us up,” Sean said, even though we didn’t know if that really was true. It could have been true.
Not a single person spoke any English. But they seemed intrigued and excited when they found out we were Americans.
One man led us over to a Peshmerga soldier standing guard next to a gate.
“Hello?” the Peshmerga said. “You speak English?”
“Yes,” I said. “Hello.”
“Where are you from?” he said a bit coldly.
“We’re Americans,” I said.
His eyes turned to saucers. “Americans! Welcome!” he said. “How can I help you?”
Enjoy!

Wretchard is posting in his next thread that there is another “Battle of Baghdad” coming up after the new government is seated. It’s being planned, supposedly, by David Petraeus. Sounds like about a two month affair. That will be the final act.
Polish troops in Iraq? Nah, the MSM didn’t tell us; ergo, this is not so. Not.
Here it is: Pictures worth a trillion words.
Long live Free Poland. +

Man is truly a nomadic creature. That is why these exploits are read so fervently by so many. Huck Finn exploring the Mississippi, Around the World in Eighty Days, The Great Race, Hope and Crosby on the Road to Wherever and now Mike and Sean’s Road to Iraq, we can never get enough. Those who can’t hit the road can usually be found following the tales of those who have.
“…To boldly go where no man has gone before” This stuff is great reading.
Disclaimor: The term “man” refers to both genders and those who fall in between. Some old farts can be politically insensitive.
