Gone fishing
Pfc. Mark Bennett drops a line in the lake surrounding one of Saddam Hussein's palaces in western Baghdad. Bennett was using noodles from a chicken with noodles MRE as bait, but didn't have any luck.

That's beautiful - just what you need after the stress of war.

No kidding...I saw a segment on tv the other day about Saddamm...his idea of fishing was to throw a stick of dynamite or a grenade in the river, and have divers collect the fish. They had film of him doing it.

That's super. Wonder what 'Baghdad Bob' would have to say about this?  LOL

I think Brett Favre uses the same method (except for the divers) when he's back home during the off season.

A german 'consultant' mentioned that there were bunkers built under large areas of water...hmmmm.

Plenty of rivers and oceans nearby. I'm sure he either planned to have more R&R time before/during/after the war....or he secured it from the palace.

What's the pole for? Use the M16 to take them out when they rise to the bait that he throws on top of the water. Isn't that how we all go fishing?

I saw this pic somewhere else today with the particulars. The soldier got the pole from inside the palace and used some of his MREs for bait. He did not catch anything.[>(]

In my left hand I hold a slice of american cheese (cause I heard people have good luck with cheese) about 1 inch over the water. In my right hand I hold a 1911 aimed at the cheese. If a fish goes for the cheese I will blow it away.

I havn't had any luck yet... but I can keep trying

He aint no Marine.  Notice the 3rd INFANTRY Insigna on the shoulder and helmet?  This soldier is far superior to any Marine!

[B]HOOAH[/B] I bet he's almost as happy not catching fish as he would have been if he did. I remember being stuck over in Korea for a year, I couldn't fuckin' wait to go fishing. I chartered a boat soon after my return. GOD bless him and every other soldier. [USA]

 Must be it.  A entire MRE could probably kill everything in that pond/lake/river.  Better get a boat to collect the fish once they start doing the backstroke.
