Good news PING.

"Isn't it terrible to see that Western elites came here to demonstrate in support of Saddam against the Coalition, and when we took the streets to demonstrate against the Saddam war crimes, they didn't show up?"

Hey this guy sounds like a conservative exposing the hipocrisy of liberals. There is hope for them after all.

"As a group of Iraqi students told me, "Isn't it terrible to see that Western elites came here to demonstrate in support of Saddam against the Coalition, and when we took the streets to demonstrate against the Saddam war crimes, they didn't show up?"

Would this by chance be on video?

Freedom of speech and the internet.

Freedom of speech and the internet are going to destroy the islamofascists and the democrats.

"Western elites"

Ha! They are known by name in Iraq even!!! Amazing!!! And their hypocrisy is being exposed by the man on the street in Iraq? How damaging is that? I want to read about this in the NYT please.

Another protest against terrorism by Arabs. Gee, I wonder what page this will be on in the paper, 104 or 105? Just like when they had that protest in front of the UN a few months ago for the same thing. No TV, no radio, and certainly no newspaper coverage. We wouldn`t want to embarrass the liberals now would we? Only the "hate Bush" screaming gets the press. Yes, only Bush is the evil one. Bush is the bastard for following his oath of office, not the people who love to fly planes into buildings or the tyrant who loves to crucify 15 year olds for fun.

Freedom cannot be given, it has to be taken. And it sounds like these folks grabbing it with both hands. Good luck and God Speed.

In thinking about this, how much did this demonstration mean to our armed forces? I would think this, accompanied with President Bush's visit, has to have given a huge moral boost.

GOOD news, indeed. (^:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday's demonstrations in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities were a benchmark: Iraq's resistance to terrorism has begun.

Almost 20,000 men and women - twice the number reported by al-Jazeera - marched across central Baghdad, while others repeated the move in different cities of Mesopotamia yesterday. The demonstrators, from all walks of life and from all religions and ethnicities of Iraq, shouted one slogan in Arabic: "La' la' lil irhab. Na'am, na'am lil dimucratiya." That is: "No, no to terrorism. Yes, yes to Democracy!"

how much did this demonstration mean to our armed forces?

good question- hope we hear from them. I suspect it would be encouraging.

Thanks for the ping, Ragtime Cowgirl!

I hope everyone reads this story. The liberal press has totally ignored or misreported it.

At least Brit Hume had a short segment on it last evening, but I was disappointed that he didn't give it the coverage it deserved.

[McGavin999]

You guys need to see this, the word has to get out about this!

[holdmuhbeer]

the tide is turning and we are winning. Bush is a great leader and will go down in history as such.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I know. I love these rally stories. Still, it may be best not to overplay them in the media, yet. This enemy is not rational, and they have int'l press accomplices.

This week's rallies were bigger than last, and those bigger than the week before. By Christmas, maybe the majority of longsuffering Iraqis will risk standing up to their Ba'athist terrorist neighbors.

I wouldn't want to be a Ba'athist in Iraq today. (^:
