If I get any more details that I'm allowed to spill, I'll let you know.
After my last post I went over to google news to see what they had as headlines. They were not screeming negative news about the skirmishes, which was a sign to me that the MSM saw no particular advantage to their agenda in highlighting it.
It will eventually show up, but maybe in one of their "lump it all together" stories --- the ones that rehash everything from the last week to make it sound as if it were all today's events.
I think the Iraqi's are going to pull this off right, and actually be much stronger in the long run. Over the last dozen years or so I've met a number of Iraqi's who fled Saddam's regime. It gives me a little taste of what you must be experiencing with knowing so many Iraqi's and working with them for years. These people deserve real peace, freedom, and prosperity. It is just that getting there brings so many ugly moments --- but also some times of great encouragement.
Thanks for the updates.
