Desert Puppies

I was out jogging yesterday and thought I saw what looked like a huge dog running really fast along the airfield fenceline. They're generally called Wadi Dogs here, but it might have been a hyeena or something similar. It turns out that the base "vector control" folks caught this yeasterday on base...

Pretty gruesome. I've seen a couple of these smashed on the road on the outskirts of the base near the dump, but never one this large! Looks like he's got some fresh kill on him too...nasty!

I would like to state that Mr. Mortimer is the most excellent person that I and my husband has never met before throughout our lifes.

We are very pleased to meet such a helpful, nerveless, gentleman person like him. Meeting with him is a chance of us.

I have never forgotten his efforts in order to assist Iraqi people and sometimes his nerve to the Iraqi people’s unwilling behaviour regarding performing the projects. If they can even make such a nerveless person get angry, then they are really unable to succeed and make business with the others througout their business lifes.

We hope that you never forget us after you leave Iraq, visit us with your family in Turkey and hope that our childrens can get friends.

We will never forget such a special person like you. We wish you a happy and healty life with your wife and with your beautiful three children.

Kindest Regards;

MS. RABIA & MR. LEVENT TURGUT
