This is great news, isn't it? My best to your brother! I grew up in central Illinois and have lots of friends working for Cat, both in management and in the plants.

Woo hoo! Sounds like business is picking up in Iraq...

And along with that a true report about how Iraqis feel about Americans. :-)

I wonder where Polis got that 98% figure?! THAT would be something worth publishing - linking - by somebody like Drudge.

Wow, Iraq is giving the finger to the Arab League boycott of companies that do business with the Zionist Entity.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

WARNING: This is a high volume ping list

94.36% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
