Iraqi women tour U.S. with this quiet, stunning message: (Thanks for liberating Iraq.)

[No Blue States]

"Thanks for liberating Iraq. Thanks for sending American troops. You Americans are a lovely people."

Dont expect these women to go on tour with Kerry/Edwards or have the support of NOW.

[stevem]

Somehow the Minneapolis Star and Tribune seems to have missed the chance to interview these people.

[cincy29]

And the NYT, and the LAT, and the Cleveland New Dealer, the Dayton Daily Worker, the Cincinnati Democrat-Enquirer, the Columbus Disgrace...

Of course, this message of thanks is not earth-shattering to those of us who have been paying attention.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

It would be nice if these women got as much airplay as the same pair of 9/11 widows the media keeps dredging up.

Maybe after Kerry is elected, they'll start running these good news stories from Iraq.

[Allegra]

Both insist that their lives, and those of most Iraqis, have improved since Saddam Hussein’s statue was toppled in Baghdad.

{GASP!!} I thought the American media wasn't ALLOWED to report stuff like this!

This paper's gonna be in trouble... ;-)

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Too bad I canceled my Boston Globe subscription, I would have liked to have seen the 5,000 word front page story they ran this Sunday on this topic. < /sacrasm>

[tkathy]

Maybe they could speak at the rep convention in prime time.

[MizSterious]

They are two Iraqi women on a tour of the American Midwest, conveying a simple but somehow stunning message.

To wit: Thanks for liberating Iraq. Thanks for sending American troops. You Americans are a lovely people.

Ping for some pleasant news!

[television is just wrong]

Then what is kerry's issue?

[Grampa Dave]

Of course ABCNNBC BS, the NY/LA Slimes and other left wing mediots will make this a frontpage story for the entire tour.

NOT~

[hershey]

Gee, that's odd. I wonder why the rest of the MSM isn't lining up to interview these women.

[nuconvert]

And when are they scheduled to be on the TODAY show?

[COBOL2Java]

Iraq-America Freedom Alliance

Full-page ad in USA Today:

[nuconvert]

"a small Kurdish village in Iraq whose male population was completely eliminated during the Saddam regime.
“There are no men. Zero"

Maybe they could get a clear (and permanent) answer from Kerry as to whether we should have gone into Iraq or not.

[nuconvert]

Thanks for posting that.
I sent that to everyone I knew when it was first posted.

[Mr. Jeeves]

And no matter how you might feel about the American military presence in Iraq...

Nice. The only reason the readership might "feel" unhappy about the American military presence in Iraq is the unadulterated Leftist drivel the media has been publishing for the last year and a half, and yet the author acts as if it is none of her doing. Oh, of course not.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Beautiful. Thank you!

Both women insisted that most Iraqis support the American troops. “We want to say thank you to the mothers and fathers of American soldiers,” says Falih.

They are here, uttering words Americans do not often hear...their clear sense of hope is at once surprising and affecting.

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

~~ Bush/Cheney 2004 ~~

[SAMWolf]

Bump.
