Iraqi children hold first pinewood derby
From the current issue of This Week In Iraq (pg 4)...
A co-ed International Scouting group formed this summer in Hasar held its first-ever pinewood derby Oct. 6 thanks to leaders’ efforts and cars donated by families of 116th Brigade Combat Team Soldiers.
This local scouting group, known as Kashafa in Iraq, began July 7 when soldiers of the 116th BCT’s Task Force 1/148 Field Artillery and leaders from the community of Hasar celebrated a ribbon cutting and inauguration of the program.

No news here! This too "normal" for the liberal media. Now if the Iraqis had their first transgendered scout troop, it would get front page Headlines. LOL Congrates on the Iraqis having their first pinewood derby.
