More great news from Iraq that the liberal media will never report.*SIGH* I'm just glad our forces are working with the Iraqis. Seems to me that outside Bagdad, there's very little anit-American sentiment.

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

If it wasn't for FOXNews, we'd never hear from the troops.

I don't know if you caught it or not, but Gen. Tommy Franks was on David Letterman the other night. Boy, did he sing the praises of this president, AND.. did he dispel some LIES by the media!!

He said POINT BLANK that the stories of grumbling between the military leadership about going into Iraq was "HYPERBOLE". That they all knew they were READY,..and they all knew they could WIN.

He said he has never seen a President take the opinion of his military like this President, then come to a decision so well and so decisively. That he had total confidence in President Bush and we were fortunate to have him as our Commander in Chief. It was awesome.

Gen. Franks also said that things were going a LOT better than the media were letting on. That sure, when a troop died, it was sickening. Because a young person had died. A parent had lost a child, a brother or sister a sibling, a grandparent a grandchild. But that those troops understood what they were doing, and that we HAVE to do it.

I wish we could get the transcript here. IT was unbelievable.

There was NO DOUBT in General Franks MILITARY (well, now civilian) MIND that we are doing the absolute right thing.

That the right person is leading this country too.

Just amazing to watch him. Every American would have felt a hell of a lot better having seen the confidence he exuded when he spoke.

Well, I woke up not feeling to hot.. but I feel better now..and I'm off to catch a couple hours of shut eye.

FRegards!

Not true, where my husband is, they come under mortar attacks just about every single night. Oh, but due to the awesome media coverage, that isnt a well known fact.

With the exception of the RPGs, that cache wouldn't even come close to what many of hsve in our closets and gun safes around here.
