Great post!!!! Hopefully this will get out and counter the plane crash-esque (i.e. we don't hear about the 3,000 flights that land safely, only the one that crashes) coverage of our brave soldiers efforts.

Thank you for posting this. You'll never hear about any of these things on CNN. Only quagmire.

Sounds like he has been stationed in Kurdistan. Wonder if a few weeks in Sadr City will change his perspective?

Thanks for an excellent post!

This is the real Iraq, not the Iraq the media is desparately trying to sell to the American public.

This proves that a picture is worth a thousand liberal words. My thoughts on a genuine American hero--Pat Tillman is in communion with Nathan Hale.

Thanks.

In high school I had a homeroom teacher that was a Marine in Viet Nam. He He threatened the bunch of us that were planning on enlisting telling us we all needed to join the Air Force. His reasoning was that the Air Force sends it officers into combat and had never lost a ship.

Wonder what he'd say to this?

Soldier on. Best friend, worst enemy. The American fighting man.

And woman.:-}

Those pictures are so sweet. Especially with the kids. I just hope that these children have had enough exposure to our troops before the Islamonazi's poison their brains. They can see first hand that we Americans are good people.

Great Post. Thanks!

Thanks so much Hillary's Lovely Legs because,honestly I was feeling a bit down this evening. I caught a pealk at John Kasichs(sp?)show this evening and I don't know if it's me or him but he sounded more negative than usual! He sounded very upset with the Iraqis(ungratefulness on their part implied)> I wish I had his email I'd send this email to him.I think I'll try and avoid watching him in the future.

This can't be true. It's a quagmire over there. The Iraqis hate us and wish we'd leave. Bush is causing the deaths of innocent people every day just to get oil for his rich friends. Did I leave anything out?

Budge, this might be a good thread to post a couple of excerpts from one of those Iraqi blogs.

Great post. But I do hope the textbooks say something about Saddam. The kids need to know the true history of what he did and why he is gone.

Friday, I was eating lunch and turned on the tube and Fox News Channel was on with that ridiculous Linda Vester show. (I am sure I blaspheme for some, but face it, it's horrible.).

Anyway, she had "live" in her studio a soldier she had been "pen pals" with for the past year. She spent a couple of minutes droaning on saying "Gosh its terrible how the media is not reporting the good things you have done, like opening 700 schools..." and the soldier agreed by nodding his head. He then began to say, "Yes, we've done so much more too, like..." and she cut him off with her famous "We have to leave it there".

The poor man tried to get the word out on the show and she wouldn't let him, even after she wasted airtime grousing about it. I think there was a pressing Kobe debate waiting in the wings after the Levitra break.

With the 4ID back, I think someone really needs to give these guys some airtime and let them tell us themselves what they have done. From what I saw, Fox was really only paying it lip service. And no one else is even going to come a close second to that.

Bump :-)

It's a shame the media doesn't ever focus on these things. What they show on TV and spew about in their columns is so far removed from reality, it would be funny if there weren't so many of the naiive falling for it back home.

If they could only see the faces of the Iraqis when they talk about freedom from the fear perpetrated by Saddam and his thugs and about the improvements that are taking place even now as hostilties continue.

Thanks for this post. All of this needs to get out more, everything all of the BEST of the BEST are doing needs to be known. I love that piture where our guy is shaking hands with that little boy. God Bless that Soldier and all the rest of them too. The little boy makes me think of my grandson, I can see him doing the same thing.
