Lost in the roar of a liberal Main Stream Media intent on harming the current administration and allowing nothing good to appear, this tiny incident stands out as an example among myriad others.

In the path of our rights to criticize our administration or legislative bodies have we not lost, along the way, the desire or perhaps right, even an obligation perchance, to support America first and then take care of our "dirty laundry" as secondary to that?

Did Al Gore's lunatic attack on America to a group of Saudis in Saudi Arabia justify his trashing America to gratify his urge to pander to the enemy? Insofar as the 9/11 ethnicity of the attackers was concerned and the seminar hosts being the brother and family of our high priority enemy Bin Laden?

Have we lost our minds in the frenzy of Bush bashing? Have we no honor? Have we no shame left? Or is cutting off your nose to spite your face the best we can come up with? The only gratification that soothes our snide and spiteful hearts?

I am becoming disillusioned with the ignorance of both the democrats and REPUBLICANS. All the attacks on this administration do not come from just the left.

Everyone should read what this Iraqi mayor has to say...print it out...and then hold it up in the face of any of the liberal/rino/self-serving/anti-American or other detractors of the mission our soldiers are embarked upon. Wow! What a message!

BTW, the "Col. McMaster" who is referred to here is the same H.R. McMaster who wrote a scathing indictment of the Johnson administration's Vietnam policy called "Dereliction of Duty." I used it in my college classes on military history for many years.

God bless this brave Regiment; God bless the families who dedicated these brave men and women. From the bottom of our hearts we thank the families. They have given us something we will never forget. To the families of those who have given their holy blood for our land, we all bow to you in reverence and to the souls of your loved ones. Their sacrifice was not in vain. They are not dead, but alive, and their souls hovering around us every second of every minute. They will never be forgotten for giving their precious lives. They have sacrificed that which is most valuable. We see them in the smile of every child, and in every flower growing in this land. Let America, their families, and the world be proud of their sacrifice for humanity and life. Finally, no matter how much I write or speak about this brave Regiment, I haven’t the words to describe the courage of its officers and soldiers. I pray to God to grant happiness and health to these legendary heroes and their brave families.
This letter should be front page news in every newspaper in this country. Should be read by every talk show host. THIS is why we are there...and the people, the Iraqis themselves know it and respect it. God bless this man for committing this to words...to print. He has probably risked his very life and that of his family by so doing. !

This has been posted numerous times here

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1577929/posts

and it's great to see it up again.As many people as possible should see this letter.

The mods have been wonderful about allowing the repostings.

Phillistone,while your advice about e-mails is sound, this letter from the mayor of Tall 'Afar is quite real.It has been referenced by commandeers in the field and has been documented as accurate by other freepers on previous threads.

Thanks for the wonderful post FARS!

This letter seems almost too good to be true. I'd like to know its provenance before I start sending copies around to my friends and correspondents.

This letter has been circulating for a while on the internet and the authenticity was called in to question as of late by the MSM, who was claiming it was just a piece of DoD propaganda. However Colonel McMaster himself vouched for the authenticity of the letter. Not only that but apparently the Mayor of Tall Afar himself is planning to attend the official homecoming of the 3rd ACR at Ft Carson sometime in May to thank the troops for their help and sacrifice.

So much for the MSM trying to stir up controversy.
