I had my 8 yr old girl scoot up a chair to read this. This and the pictures I've shown my kids should help them confront brainwashed classmates(notably Sierra cause even the teacher can't stand her cause she knows everything. hehe, freep her).
God bless the Iraqi people!!!

For the first couple of hours, women and girls hid in the background. They probably had been told that the Americans were coming to rape their women..... Sad. Isn't that what the traitor soldier who threw the grenades said?

Great post. I wish someone would buy a full page ad in the HY Times and show a picture of these kids - Then list those who didn't want to save them.

Others asked for whiskey I'm confused. Aren't Muslims supposed to shun alcohol?

Ok, posting photos of bubba and hitlery should be considered harrassment... I agree. That's mean. I got scared.

I really do believe we will be greeted as liberators, US vice-president Dick Cheney said on March 16, three days before US-led military forces began their invasion of Iraq.
The Left snickered over that one, didn't they?

Not all Iraqis are Moslems. And for that matter, many of the 9/11 terrorists drank alcohol.

OH that is a wonderful photo. I hope he can return home and be happy.

Sad to say, the Mr. and I have a picture very similar to that one (our first together, at least without one of us wearing an Easter Bunny suit(long story)) in front of a similar gold curtain, except he wore a Batman t-shirt and I was (and still am) much better looking than Hillary. The Batman t-shirt had (thankfully) made its way into the rag bag many years ago....still have the picture, though.

I agree, but just a note - as far as we can tell, Charlie Sheen is pro-USA, as evidenced by some good comments he made on a Dallas morning radio show last week. His dad Martin Sheen, is the big Hollywood a-hole leading the media charge against our troops with the "Not in our name" insanity.

I'm confused. Aren't Muslims supposed to shun alcohol? I once had the privelege of spending three hours in an airport lounge in Bahrain waiting for the connecting flight home. It has all the usual trappings of any infidel lounge-- snacks, juice, soft drinks and beer. You wouldn't believe the number of Saudis (conspicious by their flowing robes) who quaffed Heiniken after Heiniken, whilst the lesser Muslims seemed to prefer lowly Budweiser.
Bahrain is considered sort of a Las Vegas type oasis of decadence in that part of the world, but the natives are generally friendly.

There is a small town, just west of Havana, that (God willing) will welcome my father back just like this someday...soon.
