Iraqi, American fighter pilots band together at Balad
An interesting report by Staff Sgt. Jason Lake of the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs unit. The first steps in building a trust (trust but verify comes to mind) between Iraqi and American pilots.
7/22/2004 - BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq (AFPN) —Two former enemies came together for lunch in the spirit of friendship July 20.
Six Iraqi air force pilots and 10 American pilots shared stories over lunch at a dining facility and then took pictures together in front of an F-16 Fighting Falcon here.
Despite speaking two vastly different languages, the pilots had no problems understanding each other. Like American pilots, the Iraqi pilots used hand gestures to describe the details of their adventures.
“There is a special language between us pilots,” said Col. Khaled Khadem, the former deputy commander at Balad Air Base before Operation Iraqi Freedom began. “We like to talk with our hands.”

Of those questioned, only 13 percent favored the ousted Taliban regime, saying they favored governance of the United Nations. Two-thirds approved of the United States involvement which ousted the repressive Islamic militia in late 2001.

Moore’s prop
The family of U.S. Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone was shocked to learn that video footage of the major’s Arlington National Cemetery burial was included by Michael Moore in his movie “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
Stone was killed in March 2003 by a grenade that officials said was thrown into his tent by Sgt. Hasan K. Akbar, who is on trial for murder.
It’s been a big shock, and we are not very happy about it, to say the least,” Kandi Gallagher, Stone’s aunt and family spokeswoman, tells Washington Times reporter Audrey Hudson.
We are furious that Greg was in that casket and cannot defend himself, and my sister, Greg’s mother, is just beside herself,” Gallagher said. “She is furious. She called him a ‘maggot that eats off the dead.’”
