You make it too easy, Joe. LOL!
Nice pic, and photo op, but clearly, I was referring to what the president said about *us* earning Iraqis respect.
Thank you for the picture of that moment..I had no idea what RRjr was talking about in his cynical comments as I had missed the speech and then I watched the replay on CSpan...I was so moved, as was anyone with an ounce of humanity..Ron,jr is a disgrace.
Thanks for that pic. I recommend passing this pic on to the world.
The picture of an american mother mourning her fallen marine son and an iraqi woman expressing her thanks for the newly gained freedom, these two women hugging each other with Laura Bush standing by and watching, this moment defies all criticism of the war - all criticism past and to come.
The relevance of the iraq war was expressed right there in that moment.
Believe me, nothing else matters. Even the dumbest opponent of the war cannot downplay the importance of that moment.
