I will feel better with the new constitution adopted and the permanent government elected.
To: Valin
Good to see what I say every day is being backed up by others who are knowledgeable about this.
I'm tempted to ping some of the FR naysayers (like the guy who told me my vision of Iraq was skewed because I'm in Iraq) and gloat, but I'll take the high road and refrain. ;-)

Bookmark for later.
I saw Zinsmeister give a talk on his last book on C-SPAN, and I was impressed not only with him, but with the young soldiers he described. The best was when he met a CPA who was serving as a private and driving a Humvee. When asked why he would give up being a CPA to be a private (he could have been an officer with his education) he said, "I will be able to say I helped change the world." It made me wish I was young enough to sign up again.

This being the norm, and terrorist actions the exception. Our mainstream media covers only the terrorist actions, highlighting the death and destruction. Creating a false sense of whoa for our military, creating animosity and regret back home, and encouraging terrorists all over to continue on.
Normally that is called aiding and abetting the enemy. And that is called TREASON.

ANother reason why the Reids, Pelosis and Durbins
are so loudly proclaiming the US is LOSING the Iraq
War! The truth about conditions in the freed nation
is about to descend on them despite the propagandist coverups provided by their media allies.

I know were winning but whats the score?

2 points:
1. Iraq is a battle, not a war. There will be many more battles.
2. Now waiting for the new Iraqi currency to skyrocket in value over the next 5 - 10 years.

The Stone Age Press and their puppeteers in the DemIhateAmericRat Party cannot let this out. A win for America would be a loss for them. Why InSane wants more troops rather than more Iraqis makes no sense.
Pray for W and Our Iraq Winning Troops

Question. Should I be having this shooting pain in my head? Right? I laughed my head off when I read that. It was in response to one of my namy posts refuting the lying media and telling it how it really is here.
He told me my vision of it all was "skewed."
I guess it's because I'm not getting my Iraq news from CNN and the New York Times. You know, I'm just seeing it every day and interacting with the Iraqi people all day long. So what the heck do I know? LOL

LOL!!
"You can't possibly have an objective viewpoint because you're there"
LOL!!!
"You can't know the real truth because you're too close to the action"
It's so funny, because I can just see the keyboard pontificators saying crap like that!
