Tomorrow is the launch of a TV ad campaign where the Iraqi Kurds say "Thank You" to America for liberating them from the oppressive regime of Saddam Hussein. Please watch the ads and post your thoughts.
"Thank You America" is the first of 3 ads that will run in the United States (beginning on Fox News Channel) and then thanking British and American troops in Europe and the Middle East.
Thanks, Cal!!
Actually, THANK YOU ;)
I'll donate if we do this. Let's include all the multinational forces and make it a joint gift to Iraq.
Do you what the rest of the media schedule will be? CNN and MSNBC are much cheaper than Fox News.
even NBC Nightly News (Saturday) had a story about how well things were
going in the Kurdish regions of Iraq about a year ago.

You don't think we wouldn't have wanted that?
The additional news coverage and buzz it would have generated would have been substantial.
If there was any way we could have done it, we would have.
Yep, I get to work on a lot of cool stuff! Very fortunate - lots of memories created I'll remember for a while. Got to work on the Recall Gray Davis campaign in California, work with Move America Forward and now work with the Iraqi Kurds as they try to build a bright future in Iraq. Very neat.
As an American with 50% Polish blood I liked your post :)

It's the one that isn't a sh!thole. I totally understand why they don't want to be associated with the other two sections of the country.
What better way to teach those Dark Ages idiots that it's smart to co-operate than to reward the teacher's pet. I love Kurdistan. Screw the Turks-- make them their own country and call the Southern half Craphole-istan and let the Crapholistanis decide what idiotic future they want for themselves.
Here in this country, there are people who want to screw good things up for the good people who were responsible for them. We have the luxury in Iraq of these losers being segregated, which makes a divorce pretty tidy. I can't even conceive of the possibility that Kurdistan could end up as a craphole, too, because of the idiots on the other side of town. Liberating them from Iraq Proper would be a perfect way to keep them safe from that infection of stupidity and violence.

Iraqi Kurds thank the United States for liberation in New T.V ads (From MoveAmericaForward)
BTT
Indeed they do!
Wow! Thanks for the ping. Nice to know that the "other" Iraq appreciates us.
I am sure that these ads will be all over our news media; and the left will immediately apologise to the President.
Thanks for the ping. As another poster noted, it's about danged time.
I remember all too well the horror and shame hubby and I felt when America and the coalition abandoned the Kurds after GWI, leaving them to Saddam and his crazy sons.
If these ads represent the majority of Kurds, (and I hope it does) then their capacity to forgive is a major lesson to us all.
