  The Imperial Camel CorpsThe Imperial Camel Corps was a brigade-sized military formation that fought for the Allies in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of World War I.

 Last French Troops Leave Syria (1946)Though France proclaimed Syria an independent republic in 1941, its troops were not withdrawn until 1946, after over 25 years of occupation. The occupation began in 1920, when the League of Nations gave the French a mandate over the Levant States—roughly present-day Syria and Lebanon. Within years, the Syrian resistance to French colonial rule became a full-scale revolt. A 1936 treaty promised Syrian independence, but it did not come to fruition. What finally brought about the occupation's end? More... Discuss |

ewwwwwww.
ReplyDeletewhat were they eating?
ReplyDeleteYum, turkey vultures. Having a bit of road kill.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm glad to see the first guy is willing to share. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis was taken in GA. We were headed to something and at the bottom of our hill were these guys feasting! I think it was a squirrel. Our neighborhood squirells liked to play chicken I think! They would wait for you to get really close and then they would run out in front of moving car. All the neighbors talked about it all the time. This one lost! But the funny thing was that these vultures were not going anywhere. THye did not care if I ran them over. I actually had to drive carefully around them (or we would be late), but they did not stop feasting!
ReplyDeleteCREEPY!
Thanks for stopping by!

I think it's a cool picture! I've seen those birds floating high above MANY times, but have never seen them that close. Now that I have, I can mark it off my list! :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a picture! As gross as it is, animals are very cool.
ReplyDeleteIm so sorry... but I think I was warped as a child... *Ü*
ReplyDeleteThe first thing to pop in my head when I saw the vulture was an old bugs bunny cartoon...
