Rep. Franks:
Not so long ago in history, ballot boxes were coming in from Afghanistan on the back of mules.
And now we have seen free elections for the first time since their country was called Babylon.
And it is our military who gave this country this chance.
And God help us if we let the left wing forces endanger their mission on the battlefield.
And aren't we blessed to have President Bush who the soldiers can follow with a sense of honor. The president said these terrorists want to not only end lives, but to end a way of life.
Current speaker from AZ, Mike ?, who lost his brother in Iraq, came up to me in Crawford, saw my sign, and thanked me for my service in Vietnam. I was touched, very moved.
