All is lost. They hate Americans because of Bush. Marines murder innocent civilians in cold blood. It's not the place of our troops to terrorize women and children in the dead of night. Cut and Run, bring our troops home now? Iraq is lost, pack it in. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.

The legacy of the left, "Screw you, I got mine!"

Cederman is helping the Iraqi businessmen get that last 20 percent out of a bank account in New York City, but not from U.S. taxpayers. The money is coming from a fund created with assets that were confiscated from Saddam Hussein’s old regime.

HA! You gotta love it!

What a great article.....thanks for posting!!

Gunny has been made a member of Shu’aib’s tribe, the Aubaidy tribe. Gunny is now considered Shu’aib’s brother and family member.

“People throughout the town thank me for what I have done, and I tell him, ‘Don’t thank me, thank the Marines. They are the ones who make us able to do this. Gunny is my bother.”

This information needs to get to the IREY campaign.

We expanded the plant’s capacity almost 2½ times … Last week we tested the system and immediately started getting ‘thank you’ calls from area residents who appreciate the increased pressure and quantity of fresh water available in their homes and businesses.”

About 4.2 million more Iraqis have safe drinking water and 5.1 million more have access to sewage treatment than had them before the U.S. overthrew Saddam in April of 2003.

Better water, safe sewage treatment, reliable electricity, new small businesses, more students attending more schools - that’s what we’re doing there.

Yes, indeed. Please pass this column onto any lib friends you may have. Stories like this are far too underreported.

You betcha. It's quite sad and unfortunate such wonderful stories are terribly undercirculated and underreported.

Wow...every now and then, the truth slips through the cracks.

Great read...thngs are still dicey here, but progress is made every day, much to the media's consternation.
