Strating the trip back today. It feels good to be moving forward again. I had a great 3 months off work. Hello Baghdad

I am going back to Baghdad. I guess most people would say I am loser for doing what I do. I am curious how we became so warped in our concept of freedom. We were not given our country; we took it from a religious monarchy that demanded unfair taxes and religious subservience. Muslims make what we in America call the religious right look like...

Still in the states may be heading back to Iraq soon to work on the Iraqi Civil Service Training program.

I have amade it back to the United States for awhile. I took a side trip to Dubai and Kyiv. Kyiv is an awesome city. I will take about 60 days off and then decide what to do. I am not sure I want to go back to Iraq. Jrodan and Taylor were here in Little Rock for Spring Break and left today. I miss...

Back in Baghdad. Spent Christmas home in Arkansas. My son and daughter and I spent New Years in London we did the Jack the Ripper tour which was great. I spent 2 weeks in Erbil and have been in Baghdad for awhile. May me home soon. Any Suicide Girls wanna go to dinner and a show?

From afar, miles in the distance I worship the beauty I cannot touch.
Beauty that gives me life and hope for the future.
Even if I have no beauty to share or future to hope for.

Happy New Year to all. Made it back to Iraq just fine. I had a cool time in the Amman Airport talking to Muslims coming back to the USA from Hadj to Mecca. I spoke to two Insian girls and their brother who lived in Texas who so wanted to get back to the USA. Guess we are not the Great Satan to all Musilims...

Well I made it home for Christmas. I got stuck in Chicago for a night but no big deal. We had to abort our landing in Aman due to fog and go to another airport. We have had a blast staying up late and watching movies and stuff.

Where is my Suicide Girl for XMAS?

Well I am preparing to depart for Erbil and our Villa in Ainkawa. I will spend 11 days meeting with the current and new Minister of Interior and hopefully solidify our presence here for another 3 - 5 years. I then go home to spend Christmas with my son, daughter, family and Siberian husky. Hopefully the road trip through Baghdad will be uneventful.

Merry Christmas...

Well the past few weeks have been crazy here in the Land Between Two Rivers. Many curfews and lots of violence in Baghdad. Religion taken to extremes is bad not matter what it promotes. I will be going home fro Christmas in 21 days. Anyone want to spend Christmas and New Years with me and my family?

Crazy times here, two big mortars came in last night and we had two firefights outside the gates at the Ministry of Interior. I still think we are doing the right thing to protect the USA. We cannot be weak and let these religious fascists rise to power. I have no issues with any religion. Nevertheless, we all need to be able to do as...

Been since October since my last post. I was at the Saddam trail for the death sentence verdict. What a stunned look he had on his face. Things are crazy here and in the states I see. DEMS have the Congress who knows what will happen.
