More good news the old media will not report
They will as soon as they libs can figure out a way to spin this.
Go Marines. Our guys are the best. Semper fi.
But the RATS screamed that the only reason we went into Iraq was to take their oil! And now we're giving it back?!
Good news. Slowly but surely, the Iraqis will take control of their own security.
Maybe that nut Willim F. Buckley Junior could take time out to read this article.
Good post. What I truely hope also will come to be, is that a lot of foreign investors work with the Iraqi's to create a whole new line of industries over a period of time. Put so much industry both light and heavy, and various tech oriented business into Iraq, that all most of the willing can find jobs. The more modern industry (yea know like we used to have in the good old USA), they have, the more need for lower paying but equally important jobs such as road and building construction to just name two. Give them a bit of pride back, and show them that see, the yoke of Islam nor a tyranical non-democratic government does not have to be the way to live. I do think this is truely the goal this administration had planned to take place. Saddam in his tyranical regieme just made things easier to have this come to past. Put a "work ethic" into the minds of Iraqis. Once they see they can work productively and gain ownership to homes etc., they shall get a taste of what westernization is all about. They will be less prone to want Mullahs to tell them what to do.
“It’s my duty to defend [the oil terminal]. It belongs to my country. It belongs to my people. Our economy is based on it. I take pride in doing so,” said the Iraqi Marine.
