Dogface Infantry Massacre on the Rhine

Baptism of fire with mortars and artillery; a scary introduction to the war.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - My 89th Infantry Division was one of the last to go to Europe in WWII. We left right in the middle of The Battle of the Bulge in which our casualties were catastrophic and the worst ever.

For us to be jumping into the Dragons Lair was pretty scary. We arrived in France January 10, 1945. It was cold, cold, cold with the ground frozen at least a foot. We had to put up our own 20 man tents which were frozen.

(MADRID, Spain) - The Christmas bubbles will come from Shakira’s hands, as she wears a perfectly fitted golden dress. Her 500,000 euro fundraiser will be destined towards her “Fundación Pies Descalzos”.

Hezbollah`s Nasrallah Could be Right

A Mossad agent? Very possible.
A CIA agent? Again, very possible.
A Hezbollah agent? Unlikely, or so it seems to me.

Though I myself see Israel’s military and political leaders as those with most to gain - I mean thinking they have most to gain - from a successful attempt to pin the blame on Hezbollah.
