Muhammad Posted November 23, 2005 Sons of Genghis Khan roll out the red carpet for Bush From Jane Macartney in Beijing DESCENDANTS of Genghis Khan, the man who conquered half the world in the 13th century, rolled out the red carpet yesterday for the most powerful man of the 21st century. Buffeted by fierce criticism at home over his Iraq policies, Mr Bush saluted Mongolia’s troops taking part in the military coalition there. He paid tribute to two soldiers who shot a suicide lorry bomber before he could strike a mess tent in Iraq. Mongolia’s force of 130 in Iraq makes it, with its population of 2.8 million, the third-largest contributor per capita to the coalition. “US armed forces are proud to serve beside such fearless warriors,†Mr Bush said. Mongolia’s soldiers in Iraq serve within the Polish-led division and their work is confined largely to construction and logistics outside the town of Hilla. The last Mongolian forces to go to Iraq, led by a grandson of Genghis Khan in 1258, sacked Baghdad and killed an estimated 800,000 people. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-1882353,00.html ---------------------- the pains of history qofkii og baa damqan! اللهÙمَّ أَعÙزَّ الإÙسْلامَ وَالمÙسْلÙÙ…Ùينَ، ÙˆÙŽØ£ÙŽØ°Ùلَّ الشّÙرْكَ وَالمÙشْرÙÙƒÙينَ وَدَمّÙرْ أَعْدآءَ الدّÙين٠وَاØْم٠Øَوْزَةَ الإسْلام٠يَا رَبَّ العَالَمÙينَ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xiinfaniin Posted November 23, 2005 ^^^NGONGE, these pics look and feel English families to me! The net yields from the works of yesterday’s assimilation, could it be? Muhammad, red carpet or not, the man is in a deep hole! Mongolia is frozen in time, and fierce warriors (historically any way) he spoke of had then succumbed to the power of ideas and were consumed by an ideology that was/is uniquely matchless! Mongolia may hold the keys for Bush’s locked mind ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
