Troops establish new Baghdad base
2005-01-07
"Welcome to Forward Operating Base Haifa Street."
U.S. troops have set up a base on Baghdad's notorious Haifa Street hoping to pacify insurgency in one of the capital's most dangerous central districts, the military said Friday. Paratroopers from Company B of the 82nd Airborne Division's 3rd Battalion and soldiers from the 1st Cavalry Division's 1st Battalion seized and secured one of the street's vacant buildings last month during an operation dubbed "Field of Dreams," the military said. "The purpose of the operation was to fortify the palace so it can be used as a base from which to conduct aggressive operations against the insurgents," said Sgt. Michael Cooper.

#7  Tex - about 95% I pilfer from all over. There are some VERY talented people out there. For the GOOD stuff, check out this site, Worth1000 - they hold contests for the best work - and the judging is tough, too... Here's one on my favorites - a tribute to Gary Larsen, the Genius. Also, check out Somethin Awful for themed contests. Really awesome talent out there - and you do not want these people focued upon you, lol! For the mundane - about 80% of what I find usable, try BakerMedia's Community Forums / Galleries... That should keep you busy for a couple of years, lol!

#5  And for a real underrated sports movie, I also recommend that 1999 classic "For the Love of the Game". It was so underrated, no one ever saw it. Get it on DVD and see what everybody missed out on.

Field of Dreams is one of the most underrated sports movies of all time. It's been released on DVD; I recommend it highly.
