Picture of the Day - 3











(AP) U.S. Army soldiers carried out raids in dusty Iraqi towns. Military doctors treated soldiers wounded by roadside bombs. Christmas in Iraq was just another day on the front lines for the U.S. military.

Troops woke long before sunrise on a cold, rainy Christmas morning to raid an upscale neighborhood a few miles from their base. In honor of the day, they dubbed the target "Whoville," after the town in the Dr. Seuss book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

Hope everybody had a Merry or a Happy, or just appreciates that the Christians got them a day off work. (It's the least they could do after everything else, huh?)

Back to it tomorrow morning. I have something to say that may be controversial on the NSA tap scandal. It's late, and it's Christmas. Tomorrow morning, I promise.
