Politically, greater Baghdad is populated with people who owe their privileged status in life to Saddam Hussein and the Baath Party. Most Iraqis, by contrast, were brutally oppressed by Saddam.

it seems there are some "blue areas" on the map of Iraq ... and they're in the cities ...

Talked to my Marine yesterday. I am thankful he is finally coming home. He is another city. I asked him how the Iraqi's feel about them being there. He said they don't want us to leave. And to this day, when they head into the city - it's like a parade of happy people (lots of kids) cheering them on. Just like this article says. Thanks for posting it.

I'm glad Bush sent our brave troops in to kick some Islmami *ss, but I'm not fallin' for this warm fuzzy talk. Be reallistic. They are all beyond redemption, they are heathans and hate Americans. I say let God sort 'em out.

According to CNN, it is like this " Bush Bad, Saddam Good.

That is what the Iraqi people were saying on CNN yesterday. CNN is always right. Right?

Maybe we should email this article to whinning liberals on TV, who can only find the doom and gloom stories to report on

Two Iraqi children once spontaneously shouted to me, "France, Chirac!" while giving the thumbs-down sign and shaking their heads disapprovingly. The children quickly smiled and shouted "Bush!" while punching the sky.

Smart kids! ..... :-)

Iraqis routinely ask me to "thank Mr. Bush for freeing us of Saddam" and tell me, "We are very grateful, because you have freed us of our worst nightmare, Saddam Hussein."

The main media doesn't want us to know this. These were the headlines we should have seen after the liberation of Iraq and since, instead of the screaming headlines about the Museum looting of priceless artifacts, that never was, anything to keep the real news from getting out, which is that getting rid of Saddam was a good decision.

It would be nice to now overcome the defeatists "we can't win the peace" as we overcame the "we can't win the war" back in the 90s. I would hate to see the Afghanis and Iraqis follow the Kosovars, Bosnians and Haitians in a semi-successful UN led reform effort and their current malaise.

The Iraqis know who their foes are too. Two Iraqi children once spontaneously shouted to me, "France, Chirac!" while giving the thumbs-down sign and shaking their heads disapprovingly. The children quickly smiled and shouted "Bush!" while punching the sky.

I guess there will certain places freezing over, before the Iraqis will give the French another lucrative contract.
