International Update

Just a few interesting things that have happened over the last couple of days:

-Prince Harry of Great Britain (third in line for the crown) was pulled out of Afghanistan yesterday because news of his deployment with the British Army was leaked to the press. They took him out because they feared that the news would reach insurgents and they would make he and his unit a high value target. Here's a vid of him in Afghanistan:



I think it's cool that he went.

-The Turkish Army pulled out of Northern Iraq on Friday, they say it had nothing to do with international pressure to do so. They simply did what they needed to do and got out (more info on that later). Here's a vid of them going into Iraq:



Can't find a vid of them leaving.

-There has been another Israeli/Palestinian "clash". This one was at Gaza, 33 were killed. It was started by the Israelis trying to get to Palestinian militants. I can't find any vids for this one.

-Iran wants to help with security in Iraq. (Ha, Ha,...). They say they are not funding the insurgencies. I'll try to find more info on this...

IF ANYONE HAS ANY COMMENTS, PLEASE POST THEM!
