New Iraq is working hard to get rid of the old ways GulfNews.com ^ | 10/25/2006 | Amir Taheri

snip...Since liberation, an estimated 45,000 Iraqis have been killed, largely because of insurgent and terrorist activities. Yet, there are few signs that a majority of Iraqis are prepared to raise the white flag of surrender.

Several events in the past two weeks have highlighted the growing isolation of the jihadists and their Saddamite allies. One event is the creation of a tribal alliance, bringing together all Arab Sunni clans of western Iraq together in a united front to "chase Al Qaida out of Iraq".

A second noteworthy event is the almost unanimous approval by the Iraqi National Assembly (parliament) of a new plan for peace and reconciliation. Backed by all ethnic and religious communities through their political parties, the new plan further underlines the marginalisation of the jihadists and Saddamite groups.

More importantly, the plan envisages the creation of a unified information office to harmonise the sermons delivered at mosques, regardless of their sectarian affiliations. The idea is to use the mosque as a forum for a unified and democratic Iraq rather than a hub of sectarian agitation.

A third event was the Makkah meeting held on Saturday. It brought together prominent Muslim Sunni and Shiite clerics from Iraq and eight other Muslim countries to discuss and approve a declaration demanding an end to sectarian feuds in Iraq. An initiative of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the gathering reflects growing impatience with the jihadists throughout the Muslim world.

The Makkah gathering represents the first major effort by Sunnis and Shiites towards the mutual recognition of one another as acceptable versions of the same faith, since 1947.

Despite the dramatic increase in terrorist attacks in recent weeks, new Iraq is holding its own because Iraqi morale is holding. That morale, however, is under constant attack from… snip

Oooooh, I saw it! What did that leaflet say? Something about Arrogance leads to spilling of blood?

Ranger Creed:

Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor and high "esprit de corps" of The Rangers.

Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier.

Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight, and I will shoulder more than my share of the task, whatever it may be. One hundred percent and then some.

Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle, for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy, and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor.

Pat Quinn is such a dirt bag. He won't let the National Guard practice in lake Michigan, for in the event if the terrorists attack Chicago, cause the lead from the bullets might kill fish.

I was constantly worried they were going to have the wife get the lib "open-minded" thought, "These people might have a point", but I didn't see it. When you watch it, let me know if it happened and I missed it.
