IRAQ THANKS BUSH FOR VETOING DEFENSE BILL
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq thanked U.S. President George W. Bush on Thursday for vetoing a defense bill that would have let companies and people win compensation from the new Iraqi government for actions by ousted leader Saddam Hussein.
Bush announced his decision to veto the bill last week, after concluding that the provision allowing lawsuits against Iraq would pose a “grave financial risk” to the country.
“The Iraqi government has expressed its gratitude and appreciation for the efforts of President George Bush in using his veto against the congressional bill which would have cancelled the immunity of Iraq,” the Iraqi government said in a statement.

Haven’t watched the caucuses unless a scheduled program is pre-empted...but pretty interesting results from this first caucus.....and not what I expected.
I am glad the Iraqis appreciate what our president has done
since 1/2 his own countrymen don’t either understand it OR appreciate it. God bless the man.
