Just another example of how much the Dems and the terrorists have in common: it's their way or no way.

Perhaps one should look into fighting the dems the same way as one does the terrorists.....(nice thought, eh!)

do you think the American Left ... ever will?

They KNOW the truth.  They know it as well as you and I.  They choose to ignore it because it does not fit their current agenda.

The articles about AMZ'z near miss by the US military described his concern about which tribal area they were in. It would seem that some of the tribes are not at all sympathetic toward AQ. The media usually breaks down Iraq into Sunni, Shi'ites and Kurds. In reality it is much more complicated.

Hmmmmm .... funny, I don't see this running on the Amerucan MSM.  How can that be?  Oh, that's right, it's not an anti US development.

Now, if the insurgents AND al-Qa'eda were firing on US troops, that would be a headline.

Happy Birthday to your son! That's neat a 4th of July baby. I bet he is counting the days until July 4, 2006 when he turns 21. My daughter turned 21 in April -- when she turned 20 it was I cannot wait until I am 21!

.... people that got a taste of freedom don't want to go back to a radical Islamic culture.

I've thought, for quite a while, that the longer Iraqis live in a free society the more difficult (if not impossible) it becomes to move them to any sort of total control. I also think that in years ahead, as the neighbors visit Iraq, the more they will start demanding like freedoms.

Will do! :)

My Mom is getting ready to sell her house and my brother and I went back to help her clean it out after 57 years. We found all kinds of things from my Grandfather who was in WWI -- he was gassed so I never learned to know him as he died when Dad was five but he kept a diary of his travels in Europe -- it was really interesting to read and he had postcards of everywhere he was at in Europe with comments. I had never seen any of it before.

You will be happy to know that I share something with you -- my Dad's family came from Virginia and fought in the Revolutionary War -- they lived in the Shenandoah Valley! :) Told my brother we can now truthfully claim to be Southerners! We found where the family had been traced back to Switzerland through Great Britain to Virginia and eventually to Ohio.

"They interfered in everything, even how we raise our children. They turned the city into hell, and we cannot live in it anymore."

Sounds just like Blue-state conservatives who move to Red states might say...

...for that matter, sounds like the reason I'll never move back to NY!

"Nice that the word is getting out. "

You betcha partner. I had viewed this post earlier, decided not to make any comments. Truth is slowly leaking out. Only
say if one looks at the time stamp on original source, it is April 7,2005. Seems like they intergrated about a month and half worth of info. What the heck, at least folks are seeing it. Have a safe 4th.

Unless they end up with a judiciary like ours.

We have black-robed terrorists, too.
