al-Qaeda only knows how to destroy. Not build hospitals, mosques, schools, improving the lives of ordinary Iraqi citizens.
From Bottomline Upfront (don’t expect 32 consecutive frontpage NYTimes stories on pro-victory propaganda like these):
Someone show this to Code Pink and bleeding heart anti-war liberals who claim the mantle of championing humanitarian causes.
*UPDATE*
I first discovered Buck Sargent through Hugh Hewitt a couple of years ago. Here is one of his videos that has always lingered with me:
A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
Al-Qaeda lost “hearts and minds” by beheading children, terrorizing neighborhoods, and making a clear distinction to the Iraqi people between good Muslims and apostates. Iraqis, particularly Muslims, knew they had to put a stop to their twisted religious ideas and not condone it by joining with al-Qaeda in any way.
Is there a link to a charity that is donating these supplies?
Thanks Wordsmith. The photo and video are encouraging and truly heartwarming. I would also be interested in donating to this need.
It’s the 82nd ABN so I can find out what the avenue is for donating…
Wordsmith, thanks for posting this very touching video!
Stuff like this has been happening since I was in Iraq 5 years ago. Someday when the kids in Iraq grow up, they’ll remember the kindness that was shown to them by American Soldiers!

I just updated this post with one of Buck Sargent’s videos. The images are excellent…the couple of scenes of the Iraqi children dancing is priceless, and guaranteed to bring a smile to the heart.
