April 8th & 9th, 2004 a bloody day for all in Iraq.

The days preceding the 8th & 9th were not easy days. Things were heating up all over Iraq. On April 7th, I took a convoy through Baghdad. We had problems on Sword, blockage, IED's planted on the frontage road, ect... Then on April 8th & 9th the shit hit the fan.

I made this post on April 9th.

I know everyone has been watching the news, and I am sure there are some concerns. I still have not seen the news. I have been real busy to not be busy and have not had the chance to watch it. I hear what is going on up north and on my way down a few days ago, experienced a bit of it. I want to be truthful with everyone, but I don't want to cause undue fear. Yes it is getting hotter in Iraq. And if you will remember, I believe I told everyone that it was going to get that way several months ago. I wont lie to ya'll, our convoys are getting hit more often now. People are getting hurt, and some even killed. A few days ago, I heard a rumor that a convoy was hit and hit hard. I had several friends up there and was as worried about them as I am sure ya'll are about me. I found out it was a Turkish convoy and they had done something that they should not have done. It doesn't lessen the loss for their families, but understand, I will not leave a camp without escort. Yesterday, 3 convoys were hit. One was a KBR flatbed convoy from Arifjan. (read the rest here)

No, but that doesn't surprise me any.
If they are not .mil casualties, they just don't count.
And I was thinking of going over there to be a driver about 3 years ago. It just happened that a driver that was over there talked me out of it.

The exposure to DU, alone, should be enough to keep any thinking person out of that part of the world.
A friend who was there for HW's adventure in the desert was in the munitions disposal group: he said that they would just pile up all the munitions in various locales and then blow them up, with no protective gear on the troops.
About three years later, here at home in Austin, he died when his guts 'turned to jelly' as his doctor described it.
