fairly quiet in Mosul Paul said, they are waiting for the other shoe to drop, he's down right now as they have canceled all leave to the states as the flights out of Iraq have been canceled for now,also they might be extended 3 months, Paul also said, now they are letting their children play with toy rifles, they are pointing them at the soldiers, Paul said, the R.O.E. is if thats happens again, shoot.. that is from upper command.. (no win situation for the soldiers). other than that he's doing OK and said to say Hi to all of you and thanks for your Prayers and support, I told him not to worry about the leave as that is probably temporary and that they still might get home soon, the Iraqi's in Fallujha have broken the cease fire 12 time since it started,and are using Mosques towers to shot down on the Marines....
