Does anyone think the Iraqi's consider themselves "occupied" in the face of 3 elections in a year? Maybe I'm jaded, but that word is an American MSM / Liberal Democrat word.

I prefer the term "liberated". It has the perfect connotations to tick off the leftists.

These people aren't stupid, they know that they need us and they also know not to look a gift horse in the mouth. They know and we know that when the time comes to leave we will all know it. A successful Iraq will cause a great shock wave through the Arab street with the cry of freedom.
