Did anybody see Ollie's report last night? He kind of mentioned it today as well. I thought the misty-eyed moments of this war were over, but he said something that got me started again. He said that he spoke to a muslim cleric through an interpreter. The cleric told Ollie that he had instucted all the people to turn over the foreigners. Ollie asked him, "But aren't WE foreigners, too?" The cleric replied, "No. No. They're the foreigners. You're the AMERICANS." I lost it again. Wow.

I heard Ollie report this morn. on the way out...he said the Fedayeen are armed with armour-piercing ammo now and he told of a harry moment when they were shot at in flight.
Man I hope they purge the country of these forein maniacs ASAP!

After those weeks of happy faces of the liberated Afghanis, I didn't think I had much left. Wrong. Seeing the happy faces of the liberated Iraqis are just as wonderful.

Good Morning. Reporting in from San Diego.
What got me misty eyed was listening to the reservists that Rick L is embedded with. Each one he talked to, he asked what they did back home. Alomst every single one of them was a student. Students...defending our country, putting their lives on the line in a foreign land, fighting to make the lives of other human beings better. I was contrasting that to the college students back home who are walking out of class in protest. I am very proud of those boys, if you all did not know, they have been on active duty for 16 months.
