Praise God. The Iraqis DO want freedom, just like Bush says. Thanks for the info.

Oh, they so badly want freedom and peace. The media twists and lies to present a much darker picture than what really exists.

The vast majority of the Iraqi people hate the terrorists as much as we do. The media doesn't want you to know these things.

I enjoy the Iraqis and have made some wonderful friends here. They tend to be warm, generous people and their sense of humor and play is very similar to ours. They're lighthearted people who love their music, art, poetry and are proud of their rich history.

And they're such good sports about all they've had to endure. They just go about their daily lives and most times, you'd never know there is a war going on.

The media goes out to find the ones who will complain. And sometimes they have to talk to a LOT of Iraqis to find that one who's unhappy with things. But once they find one or two of those, they put them on the air and make it look as though they represent the Iraqi state of mind.

Wow - listening to the questions at the conference - the reporter says the Arab talk shows are claiming this was timed to coincide with the naming of Iraqi ministers... like we would wait a minute after we had a 100% shot at Zaquawi.

Please tell your Iraqi friends and colleagues that we admire their fortitude in this time when they are the ones being killed, much more than military Americans are.
