3rd ID exceeds reenlistment goals

3rd ID completes re-up goal in unprecedented time

The 3rd Infantry Division, headquartered at Fort Stewart, Ga.,
completed its fiscal year 2008 retention goal in less than six months,
which most view as a phenomenal act.

This is unprecedented according to the division’s retention sergeant
major. “I’ve been in this career field for 16 years, and I’ve never
known of a division to meet its goal in such a short time,” said Sgt.
Maj. Kelvin Raibon, the 3rd Infantry Division Retention sergeant major.

This is the division’s third deployment to Iraq since 2003, but its
high operational tempo did not stop 4,000 Soldiers from re-enlisting.
Even more troops will follow their lead, and by the end of March one
battalion with the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, out of Fort Benning,
Ga., will have met its retention goal twice.

The 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment is four Soldiers away from retaining 200 percent of its goal.

These Soldiers are working together to defend their nation. This is
why they joined and why they re-enlisted, said Sgt. 1st Class Thomas
Olson, 3rd HBCT senior career counselor.

The 3rd Infantry Division, which is currently the headquarters for
Multi-National Division – Center in southwest Baghdad, arrived in
theater as part of the Surge. Its Soldiers are serving a 15-month
deployment with the combat mission to stop insurgents from bringing
bomb-making materials into Baghdad. Within the year, Soldiers have
secured most areas, and have begun working closely with the Iraqi
Security Forces and tribal leaders to build the economy and make life
better for its citizens.

**************

Our soldiers in Iraq know they are making a difference -- and they want to continue to be a positive force in the world.

Religion of Peace, my arse V---UPDATED

UPDATE: 3/31/08 - LiveLeak.com has restored "Fitna". LiveLeak is the best hosting service on the web.

statement posted on Liveleak.com concerning the movie "Fitna"

Following threats to our staff of a very serious
nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the
British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our
staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove
Fitna from our servers.
This is a sad day for freedom of speech
on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff
above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from
all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised
LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the
support of one.

Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a
discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can
accept one anothers culture.


We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.

Challenge to Conservatives

An Election challenge for conservatives, designed to show why voting in November is important even if you can not vote for John McCain.

Name your US Senators:
Mine are Chambliss and Isakson.

If a one of your Senators is up for re-election, Will you vote for them and Why? Name the challenger if you will not vote to re-elect your Senator.
Senator Chambliss is up for re-election. I will vote for him because he is a solid Republican Senator, opposed to amnesty for illegals, strong on defense.

Name your Congressman (or Congresswoman):
Mine is Tom Price.

Will you vote to return him (her) to Congress, Why or Why not?
Yes, I want to return Tom Price to Congress. He is a solid conservative Republican.

Remember there are more offices besides the Oval Office to be filled in November.
Please tell your readers to vote in November. The down ballot offices are important.

All three of the Presidential candidates favor open borders, our only hope is blocking them in the House of Representatives.

The new President will likely appoint one maybe two new Supreme Court Justices (Stevens and Ginsberg are old). We must keep enough Senators (at least 40) to be able to moderate these lifetime appointments.

Our only hope for blocking tax increases is in the House of Representatives and with 40 Senators to filibuster the increases, remember the 'Bush Tax Cuts' expire in 2010.

An Open Leter to the Democratic Party

By Lt. Colonel Frances Rice,U.S. Army Retired:

"We, African American citizens of the United States, declare and assert:

Whereas
in the early 1600's 20 African men and women were landed in Virginia
from a Dutch ship as slaves and from that tiny seed grew the poisoned
fruit of plantation slavery which shaped the course of American
development,

Whereas reconciliation and healing always begin with an apology and an effort to repay those who have been wronged,

Whereas
the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities
and racist practices committed against African Americans during the
past two hundred years, nor for the residual impact that those
atrocities and practices and current soft bigotry of low expectations
are having on us today,

Whereas the Democratic Party fought to
expand slavery and, after the Civil War, established Jim Crow Laws,
Black Codes and other repressive legislation that were designed to
disenfranchise African Americans,

Whereas the Ku Klux Klan was
the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, and their primary goal was
to intimidate and terrorize African American voters, Republicans who
moved South to protect African Americans and any other whites who
supported them,

Whereas, according to leading historians (both
black and white), the horrific atrocities committed against African
Americans during slavery and Reconstruction were financed, sponsored,
and promoted by the Democratic Party and their Ku Klux Klan supporters,


Whereas from 1870 to 1930, in an effort to deny African
Americans their civil rights and to keep African Americans from voting
Republican, thousands of African Americans were shot, beaten, lynched,
mutilated, and burned to death by Ku Klux Klan terrorists from the
Democratic Party,

Whereas Democratic Presidents Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Harry Truman rejected anti-lynching laws and efforts to
establish a permanent Civil Rights Commission,

Whereas the
Democratic party has used racist demagoguery to deceive African
Americans about the history of the Republican Party that:
(a) started
as the anti-slavery party in 1854,
(b) fought to free African Americans
from slavery,
(c) designed Reconstruction, a ten-year period of
unprecedented political power for African Americans,
(d) passed the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S.
Constitution granting African Americans freedom, citizenship, and the
right to vote,
(e) passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875
granting African Americans protection from the Black Codes and
prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations,
(f) passed
the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965
granting African Americans protection from the Jim Crow laws,
(g)
established Affirmative Action programs to help African Americans
proper with Republican President Richard Nixon's 1969 Philadelphia Plan
that set the first goals and timetables and his 1972 Equal Employment
Opportunity Act that made Affirmative Action Programs the law of our
nation, and
(h) never sponsored or launched a program, passed laws, or
engaged in practices that resulted in the death of millions of African
Americans,

Whereas Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka
(a 1954 decision by Chief Justice Earl Warren who was appointed by
Republican President Dwight Eisenhower) was a landmark civil rights
case that was designed to overturn the racist practices that were
established by the Democratic Party,

Whereas after Democratic
President Franklin D. Roosevelt received the vote of African Americans,
he banned African American newspapers from the military shortly after
taking office because he was convinced the newspapers were communists,

Whereas
Democratic President John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil
Rights Law, opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., and was later criticized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for
ignoring civil rights issues.

Whereas Democratic President
John F. Kennedy authorized the FBI (supervised by his brother, Attorney
General Robert Kennedy) to investigate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on
suspicion of being a communist,

Whereas Democratic Senator
Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, made
a 14-hour filibuster speech in the Senate in June 1964 in an
unsuccessful effort to block passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and
was heralded in April 2004 by Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd as a
senator who would have been a great leader during the Civil War,

Whereas
when the 1964 Civil Rights Act came up for vote, Senator Al Gore, Sr.
and the rest of the Southern Democrats voted against the bill,

Whereas
in the House of Representatives only 61 percent of the Democrats voted
for the 1964 Civil Rights Act as compared to 80 percent of Republicans,
and in the Senate only 69 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964
Civil Rights Act, compared to 82 percent of the Republicans,

Whereas
Democratic President Bill Clinton sent troops to Europe to protect the
citizens of Bosnia and Kosovo while allowing an estimated 800,000 black
Rwandans to be massacred in Africa, vetoed the welfare reform law twice
before signing it, and refused to comply with a court order to have
shipping companies develop an Affirmative Action Plan,

Whereas
Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore created harmful racial
division when he falsely claimed that the 2000 presidential election
was "stolen" from him and that African Americans in Florida were
disenfranchised, even though a second recount of Florida votes by the
"Miami Herald" and a consortium of major news organizations confirmed
that he lost the election, and a ruling by the U.S. Civil Rights
Commission declared that African Americans were not denied the right to
vote,

Whereas the Democratic Party's soft bigotry of low
expectations and social promotions have consigned African Americans to
economic bondage and created a culture of dependency on government
social programs,

Whereas the Democratic Party's use of
deception and fear to block welfare reform, the faith-based initiative
and school choice that would help African Americans prosper is
consistent with the Democratic Party's heritage of racism that included
sanctioning of slavery and kukluxery, a perversion of moral sentiment
among leaders of the Democratic Party whose racist legacy bode ill
until this generation of African Americans,

Now, therefore,
for the above and other documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs
inflicted upon African Americans, we demand a formal written apology
and other appropriate remuneration from the leadership of the
Democratic party.

DemoRATS

Let's see, we have two contenders in the DemoRAT primary.

Barack Hussein Obama, Who has attended and funded, a so-called Christian church which preaches hatred and supports the Hamas terrorists. He is a racist who assumes he knows what the 'the typical white person' (aka whitey) thinks.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a habitual liar (Bosnia, Northern Ireland, White House Diplomatic Experience, etc), who has taught her daughter to lie. Plus, she has had trouble raising funds since her Chinese fund raisers are in jail. She is a cold calculating liar, who will say or do anything to get elected.

Muslim Wal-Mart in Dearbon, MI

This is a good idea except for the price-fixing agreement....

Wal-Mart has never before agreed to keep their prices HIGHER than the existing competition.

Wal-Mart was founded as a Christian business.

ALL Wal-Marts are closed on Christmas and Easter (and the employees do not receive holiday pay for Easter.)

********

Managers say they seek peace with the neighborhood's merchants -- and vow not to undercut them on Middle Eastern specialties. But
some experts and observers say Wal-Mart's well-planned launch in
Dearborn is bound to shake up the buying and selling in a community
that has long supported its own. Southeastern Michigan is home to an
estimated 300,000 people who trace their roots to the Middle East.

"I have not heard of anything this tailored. It's inspiring
to me as a shareholder," said Patricia Edwards, portfolio manager and
retail analyst in the Seattle office of San Francisco-based investment
manager Wentworth, Hauser & Violich, which has 537,000 shares of
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. stock.

The Dearborn store also sells Arabic music and plans to
offer Muslim greeting cards. But the modifications go beyond
merchandise: It has 35 employees who speak Arabic -- noted in Arabic
script on their badges. The store also has hired a local Arab-American
educator to teach the staff cultural sensitivity.

********

Tailoring the products to the local taste - is smart business.

Hiring employees who speak the languages used in the area - is smart business.

Being sensitive to other cultures - is smart business.

Agreeing to protect other businesses by charging higher prices - is against Wal-Mart policy and is possibly illegal. (WAL-MART -- Save Money. Live Better)

Tacoma War Protest

The Anti crowd planned to shut down the a shopping mall in Tacoma, WA -- They failed.
There were 50-75 anti's facing 150-200 Eagles (including 50 Patriot Guard Riders)

From KOMO TV

And this was from a one of the comments sent in about what happened in Tacoma:

" I was with the Support the Troops people today. What a
pathetic turnout the anti-military protesters had. They at best had 50
people, all college age punks, probably from Evergreen State Col the
most liberal campus on the west coast. The Support the Troops side had
at least 3 or 4 times their number, including about 25-30 of the
coolest leather clad bikers I ever saw. At The mall it was business as
usual, full of shoppers stimulating the economy with their hard earned
dollars. If the protesters goal was to interrupt commerce, they failed
miserably. They also failed to shut down the recruiting office. The
office they were in front of was closed anyway. The Army recruiter
around the corner of the building was open for business, and even gave
out donuts and coffee for the Support the Troops people. And for the
military being ordered to stay away? No Way! There were many many young
men walking around with military haircuts, many of who walked over and
thanked us for what we were doing, several even staying with us. Many
more of their families honked as they drove by our line of flags. And
the Police did a fantastic job keeping the ant-war goons confined to a
small area near the recruiting station, making sure they could not
block access to the opened office or cross onto Mall property. My
message the anti-military punks is this: Tacoma is a Military town, and
damn proud of them. Go protest some place else you losers.
Be sure to watch the King5 video on the link. The news did a fair job,
except when they said there was no real difference between the two
groups - That was BS. Few of them looked like normal decent people.
Many went for the anarchist look, with scarves over their faces and
black hooded sweater shirts, that sort of thing."

Message to our brave troops - AMERICA does support you.
There are some loud fools who do not, and this fools are supported by the MSM.
but when push comes to shove - AMERICA SUPPORTS ITS TROOPS!

Geert Wilder's speech to Holland's Parliament

"Madam
Speaker, allow me, first, to express my sincere thanks to you
personally for having planned a debate on Islam on the very day of my
birthday. I could not have wished for a nicer present! Madam Speaker,
approximately 1400 years ago war was declared on us by an ideology of
hate and violence which arose at the time and was proclaimed by a
barbarian who called himself the Prophet Mohammed.

I am referring to Islam.

Madam
Speaker, let me start with the foundation of the Islamic faith, the
Koran. The Koran's core theme is about the duty of all Muslims to fight
non-Muslims; an Islamic Mein Kampf, in which fight means war, jihad.
The Koran is above all a book of war, a call to butcher non-Muslims
(2:191, 3:141, 4:91, 5:3), to roast them (4:56, 69:30-69:32), and to
cause bloodbaths amongst them (47:4). Jews are compared to monkeys and
pigs (2:65, 5:60, 7:166), while people who believe in Jesus Christ as
the Son of God must according to the Koran be fought (9:30).

Madam
Speaker, the West has no problems with Jews or Christians, but it does
have problems with Islam. It is still possible, even today, for Muslims
to view the Koran, which they regard as valid for all time, as a
licence to kill. And that is exactly what happens. The Koran is worded
in such a way that its instructions are addressed to Muslims for
eternity, which includes today's Muslims. This in contrast to texts in
the Bible, which is formulated as a number of historical narratives,
placing events in a distant past. Let us remind ourselves that it was
Muslims, not Jews or Christians, who committed the catastrophic
terrorist attacks in New York, Madrid and London; and that it was no
coincidence that Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered by a Muslim,
Mohammed Bouyeri.

Madam Speaker, I acknowledge that there are
people who call themselves Muslims and who respect our laws. My party,
the Freedom Party, has nothing against such people, of course. However,
the Koran does have something against them. For it is stated in the
Koran in Sura 2, verse 85, that those believers who do not believe in
everything the Koran states will be humiliated and receive the severest
punishment; which means that they will roast in Hell. In other words,
people who call themselves Muslims but who do not believe, for example,
in Sura 9, verse 30, which states that Jews and Christians must be
fought, or, for example, in Sura 5, verse 38, which states that the
hand of a thief must be cut off, such people will be humiliated and
roast in Hell. Note that it is not me who is making this up. All this
can be found in the Koran. The Koran also states that Muslims who
believe in only part of the Koran are in fact apostates, and we know
what has to happen to apostates. They have to be killed.

Madam
Speaker, the Koran is a book that incites to violence. I remind the
House that the distribution of such texts is unlawful according to
Article 132 of our Penal Code. In addition, the Koran incites to hatred
and calls for murder and mayhem. The distribution of such texts is made
punishable by Article 137(e). The Koran is therefore a highly dangerous
book; a book which is completely against our legal order and our
democratic institutions. In this light, it is an absolute necessity
that the Koran be banned for the defence and reinforcement of our
civilisation and our constitutional state. I shall propose a
second-reading motion to that effect.

Madam Speaker, there is no
such thing as "moderate Islam".... As Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan
said the other day, and I quote, "There is no moderate or immoderate
Islam. Islam is Islam and that's it".... Islam is in pursuit of
dominance. It wishes to exact its imperialist agenda by force on a
worldwide scale (8:39). This is clear from European history.
Fortunately, the first Islamic invasion of Europe was stopped at
Poitiers in 732; the second in Vienna in 1683. Madam Speaker, let us
ensure that the third Islamic invasion, which is currently in full
spate, will be stopped too in spite of its insidious nature and
notwithstanding the fact that, in contrast to the 8th and 17th
centuries, it has no need for an Islamic army because the scared
"dhimmis" in the West, also those in Dutch politics, have left their
doors wide open to Islam and Muslims.

Apart from conquest, Madam
Speaker, Islam is also bent on installing a totally different form of
law and order, namely Sharia law. This makes Islam, apart from a
religion for hundreds of millions of Muslims also, and in particular, a
political ideology (with political/constitutional/Islamic basic values,
etc). Islam is an ideology without any respect for others; not for
Christians, not for Jews, not for non-believers and not for apostates.
Islam aims to dominate, subject, kill and wage war.

Madam
Speaker, the Islamic incursion must be stopped. Islam is the Trojan
Horse in Europe. If we do not stop Islamification now, Eurabia and
Netherabia will just be a matter of time. One century ago, there were
approximately 50 Muslims in the Netherlands. Today, there are about 1
million Muslims in this country. Where will it end? We are heading for
the end of European and Dutch civilisation as we know it. Where is our
Prime Minister in all this? In reply to my questions in the House he
said, without batting an eyelid, that there is no question of our
country being Islamified. Now, this reply constituted a historical
error as soon as it was uttered. Very many Dutch citizens, Madam
Speaker, experience the presence of Islam around them. ntaAnd I can report
that they have had enough of burkas, headscarves, the ritual slaughter
of animals, so-called honour revenge, blaring minarets, female
circumcision, hymen restoration operations, abuse of homosexuals,
Turkish and Arabic on the buses and trains as well as on town hall
leaflets, halal meat at grocery shops and department stores, Sharia
exams, the Finance Minister's Sharia mortgages, and the enormous over
represetion of Muslims in the area of crime, including Moroccan
street terrorists.

In spite of all this, Madam Speaker, there is
hope. Fortunately. The majority of Dutch citizens have become fully
aware of the danger, and regard Islam as a threat to our culture. My
party, the Freedom Party, takes those citizens seriously and comes to
their defence.

Many Dutch citizens are fed up to the back teeth
and yearn for action. However, their representatives in The Hague are
doing precisely nothing. They are held back by fear, political
correctness or simply electoral motives. This is particularly clear in
the case of PvdA, the Dutch Labour Party, which is afraid of losing
Muslim voters. The Prime Minister said in Indonesia the other day that
Islam does not pose any danger. Minister Donner believes that Sharia
law should be capable of being introduced in the Netherlands if the
majority want it. Minister Vogelaar babbles about the future
Netherlands as a country with a Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition, and
that she aims to help Islam take root in Dutch society. In saying this,
the Minister shows that she has obviously gone stark raving mad. She is
betraying Dutch culture and insulting Dutch citizens.

Madam
Speaker, my party, the Freedom Party, demands that Minister Vogelaar
retract her statement. If the Minister fails to do so, the Freedom
Party parliamentary group will withdraw its support for her. No Islamic
tradition must ever be established in the Netherlands: not now and also
not in a few centuries' time.

Madam Speaker, let me briefly
touch on the government's response to the WRR [Netherlands Scientific
Council for Government Policy] report. On page 12 of its response, the
government states that Islam is not contrary to democracy or human
rights. All I can say to that is that things can't get much more
idiotic than this.

Madam Speaker, it is a few minutes to twelve.
If we go on like this, Islam will herald the end of our Western
civilisation as well as Dutch culture.

I would like to round off
my first-reading contribution with a personal appeal to the Prime
Minister on behalf of a great many Dutch citizens: stop the
Islamification of the Netherlands!

Mr Balkenende, a historic
task rests on your shoulders. Be courageous. Do what many Dutch
citizens are screaming out for. Do what the country needs. Stop all
immigration from Muslim countries, ban all building of new mosques,
close all Islamic schools, ban burkas and the Koran. Expel all criminal
Muslims from the country, including those Moroccan street terrorists
that drive people mad. Accept your responsibility! Stop Islamification!

Enough is enough, Mr Balkenende. Enough is enough."

Religion of Peace, My Arse IV

Today at the Gaza Strip Border.

An IDF soldier was killed
this morning and another was critically injured as palestinians
detonated an explosive device near an IDF Sufa jeep patrolling the area
near the Gaza Strip border, not far from the Kissufim crossing. When
other army vehicles, as well as an army helicopter arrived to rescue
the wounded, they also came under fire. Hamas and the Islamic Jihad
both claimed responsibility for the attack, with the latter even distributing candy.

Moslems celebrate Death.

Moslem Murdering Innocents, again

Statement from the Israel ambassador:

Today’s terrorist attack on a religious seminary in
Jerusalem, in which eight young students were murdered in cold blood by
a Palestinian terrorist, is a terrible reminder of the indiscriminate
and brutal terrorism Israel faces every day.

The gunman, armed with an automatic assault rifle, heavy ammunition
and a bulletproof vest, infiltrated the crowded school library and
opened fire at students during religious study.

The reaction in the West Bank and Gaza, including celebrations and
praise for the killer, is the result of ongoing and intensive
incitement to violence against innocent Israeli civilians.

While continuing to pursue every opportunity for peace, Israel will
defend its citizens and take the necessary security measures to combat
terror. Be it rocket fire from Gaza or suicide attackers in Jerusalem,
Israel expects the international community to take a resolute and
determined stand against terror in all its forms.

To Do List for John McCain

This is what I think John McCain should do now that he has won the Republican nomination:

1) Campaign to promote his agenda. He should focus on his positives, and he should not engage in negative campaigning against the Democrats (that can wait till later).

2) Consult with the GOP leadership - to get their input who should be his Vice-President. Also, he should start getting their input on who should be in his Cabinet.

3) Spread his coattails - Campaign to help elect other Republicans to Washington.

4) Be a Senator - John McCain should be on Capital Hill as much as possible, and he should try to disrupt the Obama and Clinton Campaigns by forcing them to be on Capital Hill.

Brett Favre: Retires

Brett Favre has retired from football.

The legendary quarterback who holds most of the career records is tired.

Brett, you set a high standard;

Religion of Peace, My Arse II

THREATS, THREATS and THREATS from the "Religion of Peace" --
If Islam was a religion of peace, it would not be issuing threats;
If Moslems were a peaceful people, they would not be murdering innocent men, women, and children;
Someday, maybe, Moslems and Islam will mature into a respectable religion, but for now, they are nothing but a DEATH CULT, which worships SATAN (ALLAH).


This point is emphasized once again in an editorial entitled “Playing With Fire” from today’s Arab News. This time it’s the German Interior Minister whose knees are being figuratively broken:

The
statement by Germany’s Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble that
European newspapers should reprint the controversial Danish cartoons of
the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a show of support for press
freedom is astounding.

It is difficult to believe that a
supposedly responsible and politically astute politician could say
something so irresponsible and dangerous — and Schaeuble is supposedly
both. More to the point, Schaeuble knows perfectly well that there are
hundreds of millions of Muslims worldwide to whom the cartoons are not
merely deeply offensive but an outrage. He also knows perfectly well
what happened when the cartoons were first published — the wave of
violent protest worldwide two years ago that resulted in dozens of
people killed in riots and Danish embassies destroyed. The decision by
Danish papers to reprint the most offensive of the cartoons has already
led to Egypt protesting to Denmark, Iranian MPs demanding action
against the country, mass demonstrations in Sudan and riots by outraged
Muslims in Denmark itself.

Schaeuble cannot, therefore, claim
that he did not realize the consequences of what he said or that he has
been naive. This is no mere mistake or case of insensitivity. He knows
the massive damage to Germany that can result from what he said —
boycotts of German products, mass protests across the world, German
diplomats in danger, embassies under attack — yet still he said it. He
is being deliberately provocative.

Danes Leading the way again

According to Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende, the poster in question featured the Kaaba shrine with the text "Stupid stone". A poster with a Jewish man wearing a typical Jewish head covering had the inscription "Stupid skullcap".

BT quotes the Tiergarten press release as saying: Muslims in Europe must accept that they can't censure an exhibition in a gallery.

A Berlin gallery has temporarily closed an exhibition of satirical works by a group of Danish artists after six Muslim youths threatened violence unless one of the posters depicting the Kaaba shrine in Mecca was removed, it said on Thursday.

Harry Wales, Hero

Prince Harry has been fighting the Taleban on the front line in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence has confirmed.
Harry, 23, who is third in line to the throne, has spent the last 10 weeks serving in Helmand Province.

"I finally get the chance to do the soldiering that I want to do," the prince said ahead of his deployment.

The deployment was subject to a news blackout deal, but broke down when leaked on US website the Drudge Report.

British Royal Prince Harry has been fighting in Afghanistan since late December -- and has been directly involved in gun battle, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The
prince, a junior officer in the Blues and Royals, and third in line to
the throne, has been a "magnificent soldier" and an "inspiration to all
of Briton."


Have no fear, Young Prince, the US Marines will be proud to fight alongside you.
