That was 14 long months ago, when the soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, arrived in southwestern Baghdad. It was before their partners in the Iraqi National Police became their enemies and before Shiite militiamen, aligned with the police, attempted to exterminate a neighborhood of middle-class Sunni families

Status: offline 		Mnot, you of all people getting your panties in a bunch over spelling.  How funny.  Guess you can't refute my point in any sort of logical or factual way.  So you attack my spelling.  About what we have come to expect from you.   Why don't you spell "didn't" right before you begin mocking my spelling.  Really the Pin Head Spelling Brigade (there are about 5 of you that I see) is just pathetic, especially when they make errors in their own posts.   You should stick to your rambling jibberish posts, you had a few fans for those.

Status: offline 		well, if you had a point, i would have addressed it.  Since you are incapable of it, I visit you for spelling.........it has talking points, is factual; but something else you have no dominion in.

Cordially,
