I think there’s so much political division here that it’ll be a generation or two before the real story of our success in Iraq is clear to the world.

If the dims and there leftists minions ever get control of this country again, in a generation or two, we may need the Iraqis and Poles to come and help us restore liberty.

Thanks for the ping RC.

The Dems ignore this at their peril. I can see a long video presentation at the Republican convention on all the great things happening in Iraq. It could really hurt Kerry.

People love success stories.

Democrats and their media lie to advance their partisan agenda--which now runs counter to the success of liberty and democracy.

God Bless our coalition heroes and the historic work they do so well.
