RAMADI, Iraq - When members of the government of Anbar Province met with President Bush last week, they presented him with a letter dedicating their success in wiping out Al Qaeda here to the victims of Sept. 11
The letter, which was obtained by the Daily News, was signed by Anbar Governor Mamoun Sami Rashid, Provincial Council Chairman Abdul-Salam Abdullah, and Sheik Sattar abu Risha, the sheik credited with beginning the Anbar Awakening.
"In the month when the terrorists attacked the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, we dedicate the victory of Anbar Province to the families of the victims who suffred that criminal act," the letter said, which was addressed directly to Bush.
"With the help of the president of the United States, we pledge to continue to cooperate and communicate with you to continue to get good results," the letter said.
Bush traveled to Anbar Province to highlight the dramatic decrease in violence there, just days ahead of the progress report that Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker presented to Congress Monday.
sometimes the good guys win
WOW! Sweet!
I am familiar with the first and the latter. Seem to be outstanding guys. Thanks to them from this American.
What a wonderful gesture on the part of these Iraqis. My eyes are filling up. I hope this gets on a front page, somewhere. Thank you for posting this.
Mamoun Sami Rashid
We saw this all over the news. not
Too bad they had to undergo the “AQ Experience” for a while before they got smart. Cost us more than a few KIA and WIA.
AWESOME!!!!
If this gets out, the Rats will be screaming in pain. Someone send it to Chucky the Schmuk’s office.
Keep up the good work!
I don’t believe it. He sucks up to the POTUS because it fits his current political agenda. If US troops are gone and AQ takes over, by next aniversary of September, 11 this guy will be dancing on the American flag and praising hijackers.
Now this is such a wonderful thoughtful way to honor and express their appreciation for what we have done for them. How smart of these Iraqi people.
I am so sad and angry. Fox news.com is reporting that this sheik and several bodyguards were assassinated today.
Damn those subhuman cretins that did this.
