#1 Well, looky here. The reasonable Iraqi was right about US military behavior.

The sad part is, many on the left are not going to want to hear about this.

#3 99.99% of the Americans act like this. They are pleasant, yet professional. Unlike their countrymen on the left...

#8 This is unbelievable!! The brothers make the news because President Bush refers to them and shortly after we search their house??

Is anyone in the military paying attention to the blogs and the impact that they have. I'm stunned. Absolutely stunned.

And as for our military acting respectful - I'm not at all stunned since I have no doubt that is the norm.

#9 Dude Mil doesn't know cause Iraq the model keeps themselves secret, there is a reason for that. They are not even in the photo at their blog. All the military saw was a bunch of cars at a house in a Sunni neighborhood of course you are going to get searched.

#11 ...after the search was conducted, a suitable location was found where the BBQ grill could be safely utilized for the beefsteaks.

#12 Dude Mil doesn't know cause Iraq the model keeps themselves secret,

They came to DC and met the President of the United States of America!!. They gave talks in the US. They should be receiving protection - not this kind of crap. I'm still stunned.

#13 Anonymoose - maybe you are right. I hope so.

#14 In that neighborhood, everyone knows what the score is. I'm thinking it would have been far more suspicious if the house hadn't been searched.

#15 Add more to all the "conspiracy" thoughts. Maybe Bush had them "searched" just to make sure they were okay after his mention. Making sure the bad guys hadn't gotten to them, and maybe words were whispered in a couple of ears during the visit, "we got your back."

I read on one of the mil blogs the other day, there was a tank sitting beside a shiek's home in Anbar. I'd say, someone felt he needed to be protected! Might be the same with the brothers.

#16 Ima havin a hard time figurin out how this could have been a bad move by the military.

Its the closest thing to a media coup they are ever going to get. A genuine grassroots phenomenon liked their behavior so much they asked to have their pictures taken with our troops and are spreading the positive word.
