However, to be fair....there's been many, many bright days as well. It's just that one has to dig long & deep to hear because the MSM won't tell you.

Yes, there have been plenty of bright days. But I have also been here for the darkest days such as April and November of '04 and other awful events. That's why this past week has been particularly sweet.

I have tirelessly refuted the media here on FR for two and a half years, reporting the positive news out of Iraq and slicing through the media's blatant distortions. I have come under fire from negative, troll-like FReepers for doing so.

I have hung in here well over the year I committed to because I knew from what I was seeing that these days we are experiencing now were coming.

I haven't had to dig deep at all to see through the media's B.S.

All I've ever had to do was look around me.

You don't get enough credit, Allegra. Thank you for doing the work you do, and for keeping us informed of how things are really going. Your posts have been very important to me over the last couple of years, and I am sincerely grateful.

I have been critical of President Bush in the past. If I said or done anything to counter your good news, I apologize.
