Zingers On Our Mind;
Fast Moving Views and Opinions of The Post Editorial StaffA sign of the end?
Some would say the Middle East conflict would be a sign the end of times is near. But I think this meeting is the real sign. Wouldn't you love to have been the fly on the wall at a meeting with Rupert Murdoch and Hilary Clinton?

I’m tired of all the headlines in the papers and comments from the reporters about our war effort going bad and the people of Afghanistan and Iraq hating the soldiers and wanting us gone. In my case I’m stationed in Afghanistan f.o.b. (forward operating base) Solano. On the front lines by Pakistan fighting the war on terror and helping the people here. In my opinion the people here love us. When we pass threw the town of Coast every day there are people lining the streets cheering and waving. They are yelling the only words they know in English like "how are you", and "we love America" things like that. They don’t sound to me like they hate us, just the opposite, sounds to me like they like us and everything we are doing for them.
In my case I'm a 50 cal. gunner on a humm-vee gun truck. I'm security for convoys of engineers every day that goes out and helps build roads for the people of Afghanistan. The benefit of that is when the bad guys come "by bad guys I mean foreign fighters Taliban hold over’s and Gehoddists" I get to lay waist to those scum bags with my 50 cal. If you want pics of the people I have them just let me know where to send them. Oh yeah, and I've been a res. of Paradise for 20 years I'm 33 years old, married and have 2 kids.
