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!

The last I had heard was they wouldn't even let Prince Harry go into war. Strange now that he got his wish of serving his country and them the press got into the way again.
I thin that the Brits are just doing what they can to protect, not only the Prince, but the lives of the people serving with him.

What I heard was that he was not going. It was on the news and they said that he wanted to stay. But I think that they just let him go over without telling anyone. That is what I think.

I read on foxnews.com that his father wanted to say, but couldn't. When asked what his son(Harry) was doing, he said that Prince Harry was doing some training.
Is it right to call him by his first name? or do we(since he isn't our prince) call him Prince Harry?

Well what I heard was that he was going to war and then he was not going to war. But I heard the same thing about him training and stuff like that. But for now thats all I know. I will be looking into it later on. Have a great day.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
