Or will we see something about Johnny Carson giving Al Gore advice on how to conduct comedic excellence instead?

These people appreciate the value of freedom. I'd rather be in a foxhole with any one of them, than a DemoRat congressperson.

But will they pull their weight as US citizens?
Oh, that's right, they already are.
Nevermind.

Still, it is amazing so much money was put into this place, then within 5 minutes you are driving past mud huts along a highway with no guardrails.

Ping to the RKBA. Sorry for the spam.
Great Americans doing great things.
From my own experience in this palace (I was primarily at Camp Victory for my year over there), this palace is a testament to how tryannical Saddam was. It has marble floors EVERYWHERE inside of it. It used to have gold stair well railings (taken down and given back to the iraqis), Marble TOLIETS everything.
Congrats to the new CITIZENS.

Congratulations and best of luck to all of them.
I was once in an Air Force school with a fellow Sergeant from Belize. He was under this citizenship program. What I liked best about him was that he was further to the right than I am. He didn't have a high opinion of his former fellow Latin American neighbors. This was back in the 1980s and he identified many of the problems we're having now.
