Greetings,

I know you would be surprised to read from someone relatively unknown to you before. My name is SGT. Jeff Hunt, a member of the U.S. ARMY USARPAC Medical Team, which was deployed to Iraq in the beginning of the war in Iraq. I would like to share some highly personal classified information about my personal experience and role which I played in the pursuit of my career serving under the U.S 1st Armored which was at the fore-front of the war in Iraq.

Though, I would like to hold back certain information for security reasons for now until you have find the time to visit the BBC website stated below to enable you have insight as to what I'm intending to share with you, believing that it would be of your desired interest one-way or the other.

Also, could you get back to me having visited the above website to enable us discuss in a more clarifying manner to the best of your understanding. I must say that I'm very uncomfortable sending this message to you without knowing truly if you would misconstrue the importance and decides to go public. In this regards, I will not hold back to say that the essence of this message is strictly for mutual benefit of you and I and nothing more.

I will be vivid and coherent in my next message in this regards, meanwhile, could you send me a mail confirming you have visited the site and that you have understood my intentions? I will await your thoughts.

Thanks,

Best Regards

SGT. Jeff Hunt. jeffhu@lonline.com

Bendera yetu Iraq - Part II

Mwanajeshi wa Tanzania (?) aliyeumia huko kwenye Vita vya Iraq
Jamaica Flag

Tanzania Flag

********************************************

Wadau, kuna watu ambao wanadai kuwa huyo mwanajeshi kavaa bendera ya Jamaica begani. Wala haifanani na bendera ya Jamaica. Ila inaonekana kabisa kama ya Tanzania, au ni macho yangu?

Wanajeshi wa Tanzania wako Iraq?

Nimepata hii kwa e-mail. Lakini jamani, ni kweli huyo jamaa ana bendera ya Tanzania kwenye Uniform. Ni Mwanajeshi wa kiTanzania huyo? Najua kuwa kuna waTanzania wenye Green Card waliojeshi la Marekani lakini wao wanachukuliwa kama wanajeshi wa kiMarekani na kuvaa benedera ya Marekani.

Na maskini jamaa kaumia kweli. Atapelekwa Marekani kutibiwa?

Yahoo news has recently posted the picture by Andrea Comas with above with the following caption "A U.S. soldier (L) from the Second Stryker Cavalry Regiment helps a wounded Iraqi soldier at the site where an explosive device went of inside a house during security operations in Diyala province August 8, 2008".But if you look carefully on the left shoulder of the injured soldier, you will see a badge with Tanzanian flag.

This has gotten me and other readers puzzled: Did Tanzania sent an Army contingent in Iraq?

If so, what are they doing there?

Who authorised it? Who is footing the bill?

If this is not the case, why should the US or Iraqi army badges with Tanzanian flags?

If Tanzania has an army contingent, then the Government need to tell the people and they should braced themselves for difficult questions. If, Tanzania did not send troops in Iraq, then the Foreign Ministry needs to follow up on this matter with US or Iraq Government on why their are using badges with Tanzanian flags.
