We were driving back to the palace from Phoenix base last night in a Nissan pickup truck. Two folks in the front, four of us riding in the bed. As we drove past this group of Iraqi kids, one of them yelled out "Wassup killa!" Perfect english, just as clear as day, it was like something out of a rap album. If I wasn't in Baghdad, I would have thought I was driving through any urban area in the States.

If nothing else, at least we're teaching the Iraqi people about hip-hop culture *lol*
