Muslim girls make the best wives

I know I complain about or mock certain Muslim scholars/nut cases and some of the things they say. However, once in awhile, you run across an aspect of Islam that sounds pretty damn good (tongue set firmly in cheek).

How to make your husband happy.

While in Iraq, you get a one-week MWR trip to Qatar. On one of the trips we were allowed to take, this Qatari was selling camel rides. I didn't bother with it.
If you fly much in Iraq, then you've likely been on one of these - a C-17. They are much better to fly in than C-130s.
This is me getting the upper hand on one of the guys in my unit. We were learning search techniques for a hand-cuffed suspect.
Here's a Styker from the FOB I was on. The 'bird cage' of slats around the vehicle help stop RPG rounds.
This is a mosque located on our FOB. No American was alloowed inside - even if you were security (like me) or an American Muslim.
Believe it or not, it does rain in Iraq, as these poor soldiers found out when they tried to move this large forklift over some muddy ground.
This is a typical truck driven by private security. It's armored to some extent, and features a "gun bucket" in the back for a rear gunner's position.
This mosque, I was told, was Saddam's personal mosque near the Al Faw palace. Now, it's located on Victory Base Complex.
Here's what it looked like as we boarded the plane to fly to Iraq. I remember being both excited and nervous at the same time.
This is a rocket that landed on our base, detonated underground, and did no damage. I believe this is actually a rocket designed to be fired from an aircraft, but Hajji will use anything they can get to shoot.
The extension on the front of this HMMWV is used to set off IEDs prior to the HMMWV actually passing by. These have been used in Iraq for some time, so I don't think I'm giving away any secrets here.
This is the Al Faw palace at Camp Victory in Baghdad. Saddam used to occupy it, but it's now home to MNC-I.
I took this photo while flying over Baghdad. It is the Grand Mosque which Saddam was building when the invasion occurred. When finished, it was supposed to be the largest mosque in the world. I doubt it will ever be completed.
This is a UH60 refueling. I don't recall what base this is on. They kick the passengers off while they're doing this, which is when I got this picture.
