Tons and tons of freedom


U.S. Marines search destroyed buildings while conducting a security operation during engagements with gunmen in the war-torn western city of Falluja on November 17, 2004. American mortars pummeled parts of Falluja as troops hunted for guerrillas still fighting in the Iraqi city after nine days of bombardment. U.S. officers said Marines were 'cleaning up' fragments of an insurgent force of Iraqi and foreign Islamists and Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) loyalists that Iraq (news - web sites)'s interim government says has left some 1,600 rebels dead in the rubble of the urban battlefield.

5. You can't make the omelette of freedom without
breaking a few eggs of humanity.

Now watch this drive...
