Tomorrow is the launch of a TV ad campaign where the Iraqi Kurds say "Thank You" to America for liberating them from the oppressive regime of Saddam Hussein. Please watch the ads and post your thoughts.
"Thank You America" is the first of 3 ads that will run in the United States (beginning on Fox News Channel) and then thanking British and American troops in Europe and the Middle East.
One question. What did you mean by:
"need to start using the MSM to our advantage. I like #3 because it speaks of hope and rebuilding."
Condescending towards who?
Bump

Is this great or what?
Thanks for the ping.
It is great....I saw your post AFTER I did the pingy thingy! Sorry!
Awesome ideed! God bless our troops, and God bless the brave Iraqis.
Incredible ads. I love the child holding "light", it's wonderful symbology.
I'll stick with the other explanation, the "other" Iraq is all of Iraq that is working and gaining ground, and not making headlines in the west.
In order to be a prelude to separation the Kurds would have to anticipate civil war in both Iraq and Turkey - they are not likely to be considering anything of the sort. At least not unless a decade or so of relative democracy fails to bring the rest of the region up to standards they have established during the previous decade or so.
It's kind of up to the rest of Iraq to take advantage of an established model (other than Israel) and up to turkey to avoid acting like Saddam in its own Kurdish regions.
Wow! Those ads are wonderful!
That is so good to hear.
These are great ads. I can hear the whacko leftie's high pitched voices screaming "unfair" as they're kicked squarely between the legs with these ads. The fat SOB Kennedy is finally going to have his cow.
My guess is it's because they don't get any press like the Baghdad area. It would be really hard for the MSM to be anti-American if they focused on Kurdistan.
Bump TTT!
These are great ads. I sure hope they get lots of exposure.
I remember well at the beginning of the Iraqi war the Kurds had fled to the mountains...sleeping in tents...
Well, they've got their lands back and I'm happy for them.
ESAD Saddam.
The reason Kurdistan is the "other Iraq", is that this is an area the liberal media dreads most that people will eventually hear about.
It has taken a fearsome embargo of any coverage whatsoever of the Kurds in order to present the fiction that the Iraq liberation is a failure.
It matters not the overwhelming level of liberal deceit- they are playing for big stakes here. If Americans in general knew how much progress has been made in Kurdistan since liberation, the blow-dried hand wringers would be finished.
But, it goes even further than that. Throughout the last several hundred years, the Kurds have been systematically used, and then betrayed, by nearly every single European power. Their story, if ever told, will shame too many "continental sophisticates" to be allowed 'out'.
Yet someday it will. And if you think the French and their cronies have much to be ashamed of now- wait for, as Paul Harvey would say..."The rest of the story."
Thanks to all of you who have clarified this. I think the ads are a wonderful idea, as is anything which gets the true news out, rather than just what the old media wants us to see.
