Time really does fly when you're having fun. ;-)

OMG! I LOVED reading this!

Thank You for your beautiful essay and for your tireless service! I hope the Iraqi people understand what kind of devotion it took you and our troops to bring this to fruition!

Thank you Allegra, we can never repay you for your sacrifices. Hope you know your in our prayers. Here is one from the Libray for you:

The Elian Gonzalez betrayal was the perfect example of the difference between the Rat Party and we Republicans. Our outrage for sending an orphan boy whose mother literally gave her life for her son to breath freely was forced back to a brutal dictator by the Rats. The Dems threw everything at this boy including breaking the law and an American family’s door down at gunpoint to throw this helpless boy back to slavery. Conversely President George W Bush has risked everything while being called every name in the book to bring Freedom to 25 million enslaved human beings. One 10 year old boy sent back to Castro’s prison island vs 25 million saved from Saddamn’s torture is Democrat vs Republican.

The Dems say they are for Freedom from all dictators however their actions defy their words. Not one time in the past half billion freed slaves have they been on the right side of history. How difficult is it to wish Freedom for an enslaved people??? The truth is that they say they are for freedom, but they are only against dictators who are friends of America, while supporting every tyrant that hates America. This is what happens to you when you believe any means justifies your ends.

America and especially the Military has made one of the greatest accomplishment in history. They have freed a people who was tortured and brutalized under a madman to be given their freedom with no expectations. These people would be shot for marking ballots the way they did. The soldiers who freed these people and gave their lives for this cause did it for the most noble of causes. They went in to protect our Country and World from the greatest terrorist dictator on the face of the planet and to free the people while attempting to establish Democracy. They met and exceeded all of their goals. These soldiers are heroes for all times and deserve our deepest respect and congratulations. Their families must be busting with pride.

Any political party in a democracy that cannot accept the joy and value of millions of people voting freely for the first time in their lives has lost it’s perspective. The joy and happiness on the Iraqis’ faces should be evident enough, but the Rats have to turn it into an attack on Bush’s policy. How difficult would it be for this Party to say they may have been wrong about the election and the freeing of 25 million people was a great thing for our Troops whom, they “support.” The very least they could have done was to acknowledge that the terrorists are evil and our Troops are the Freedom Fighters.

The truth is that the CommucRats do not want freedom for other countries or even this Great Country. Their ideal utopian model is fashioned after Communist China, Cuba and Russia even though they knew they were evil, the ends justified the means. Like China they see it as a great equalizer if everyone is dirt poor as long as the Inner Circle (them) is taken care of. If you take a look at the clinton Inner Circle you could see the formation of their form of gummit. They wanted to eliminate private healthcare while raising taxes to redistribute income and sending the middle class to poverty. Meanwhile, their Inner Circle; those that survived, became multi-millionaires.

This Party does not want Freedom for anyone. They opposed the bringing down of the Wall, the Vote in Nicaragua, the Protection of Elian, the Overthrow of Saddamn and have been completely exposed by the vote in Iraq. What people have they ever stood up for who are oppressed?? This is a Party that is an establishment devoid of any values or ideas other than the blind obsession of power.

George W Bush and we Republicans were right about the people of Iraq also yearning to breath freely. We are the Party of optimism and willing to take on challenges bigger than ourselves. While the Dems continue to wallow in the quagmire of failed ideologies and broken programs, we are working to make the Greatest Country in the World even better. If a Political Party does not want Freedom for the oppressed of the World it does not want Freedom for America.

While we ride with the Angels in the Whirlwind they are mired in the tar pits of Vietnam. Thanks to the Rats, Elian Gonzales is a slave again under the murderous dictator Castro while under GW fifty million former brutalized and raped slaves are voting their own futures and feeling the cool breeze of freedom. Perhaps one day we will see the statue of Saddamn replaced by Lady Liberty Raising her Flame High for all the World to Dream.

Pray for W and Allegra

Thank you for the good work, and for sharing some of your first hand account of history in the making, Allegra. So glad that I saw your post!

It takes special folks. God bless you all - civilian and military.

As proud as you should be of your service to this country (and the Iraqi people),Allegra,I'm duty bound to point to all that Osama Obama is hell-bent on ensuring victory for the creatures that would,given the opportunity,drag the entire world back to the 9th Century.

And my money's on him succeeding.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a vanity so worthy of posting.

Thank you, Allegra, for your reports from Iraq. Thank you, too, for your diligence on this forum.

Mostly, thank you for your service to the USA and to the wonderful people of Iraq.

You didn’t have to be there, but you chose to go.

You’re a very admirable young lady.

[LibLieSlayer]

Wonderful! You are a true American hero... and GOD bless you and everyone you serve with! Stay safe... we pray for you guys every day!

We have greatly benfited from your on the ground insight. Your service to the nation in a difficult task and setting will be an experience that will make the future challenges of life easy tasks to meet and deal with in a sensible manner.

[elhombrelibre]

Thanks, Allegra, you and your co-workers over these years have made a great and positive difference for Iraq and, consequently, for the world. I am sure that someday the success there will be as recognized as it has been maligned and misdescribed.

I didn’t notice the by-line on this... I often don’t pay attention until the end of a story where it came from.

About a third to halfway through this, I said to myself, ‘Gee... this sounds like it could have been written by Allegra.’ - still I didn’t look.

It was no surprise to find that it HAD been written by you, though it detailed a couple things I hadn’t been aware of before today.

Thank you for your service to our troops, and to the Iraqis, and to our country. I know that you humbly believe that your service is minuscule compared to the troops, and though that may be true, it is an important service.

Please convey again our thanks to those in the military who you come into contact with. They have not been forgotten.

[bert]

We thank you for your frequent reports. I’m glad you have a job you like and are able to do it.

[Candor7]

Congratulations on earning your 5 YEAR pin!

And thank you for supporting our troops, wearing dirty socks by times,dodging shrapnel and being a crack shot with your 9 mm.

I have read your posts for 4 of those five years, and have always found them genuine, and direct ,almost always humorous.

You let us all know what was happening when the MSM libtard socialists wouldn't show the truth.

You let us know that the surge worked WAY before the fact became falsely deniable by the Surrender Monkies of the Islamofascist placating press.

For that FR and America owes you a debt of gratitude.

Thanks again to a genuine American patriot from C7:

[STARWISE]

Thank you SO much for taking the time to recount these momentous years, and to let us know .. from day one and from the ground up .. just a bit of what it’s been like for volunteer patriots like you.

I’m so lifted in hope, reading your words of progress and improvement, and filled with pride for those like you and our amazing military who birthed these new, hopeful days .. many with their precious lives.

God bless them and their families for their precious gifts, and God bless and protect you and our troops as you remain so faithful and dutiful to freedom’s call for others .. a cause truly greater than yourselves.

You are amazing, Allegra, an amazing role model and fabulous patriot. Thank you .. I’m so proud of you! Just WOW. Keep it up .. you’re a historian now .. keep that going. You sure as heck have a book there, and millions will want to read it.
