Could it be a good 'ol American Fig Newton?
Posted 10:09 AM, Pacific
Posted at 6:40 AM, Pacific That looks like a pretty happy quagmire to me.
I read the New York Times editorial pages for the first time in a couple of weeks to see how the gang would spin this. It isn't easy, after all, being revealed as beyond-Pluto wrong about how the war would go. Tom Friedman goes local and files "pay no attention to the people in front of the curtain" article. Maureen Dowd just goes low, attacking Victor Davis Hanson as Dick Cheney's "war guru."
Davis was my guest yesterday, a couple of hours after he'd given a talk to the senior leadership of the Pentagon. It is no surprise that Dowd doesn't like Hanson. If Hanson sets a trend, Dowd is going to have to start using facts. Interesting how the left works --in defeat, no humility, only a snarling and another round of invective.
But the live feeds from Baghdad are live feeds. The Iraqi information minister is going to have a tough time spinning this, and if, as Tom Friedman argues, the entire Arab world is arguing about the occupation of Iraq, then we are dealing with a deep refusal to deal with the facts. The Iraqi people are becoming our best witnesses, and the best sign of the morning: "Human Shields Go Home." The Marines and the Army, it seems, are just what the oppressed people of Saddam's horror chambers wanted.

I love that one! We were talking today....(my family) we have no idea how the Iraqis are feeling. I am so elated that it's hard to sleep, just can't imagine how wonderful they feel.

Isn't this such a humbling picture.
To: Hamilton2
It shows the true heartfelt gratitude they feel for being delivered from hell, which is what their lives have been under Saddam.
It brings tears to your eye, that a grown man would be so grateful to kiss the soldiers hand.

Of all the pictures today, this is one of my favorites.... the smiles, the gentle expressions expressed in the eyesbring tears to mine. God HAS blessed America, by allowing US to share our precious gift: Freedom.

Thanks! This has been bookmarked for historical purposes and for use with those on both sides who still hate our president, our troops and would deny liberty to these Iraqis.

I was thinking of the movie the Right Stuff... at the Happy Bottom's Riding Club, the female bartender uses the colloquialism.
