(Editor’s note: It is with great pride that Canada Free Press & America’s News Source are the first media outlets to carry this exclusive from Move America Forward).
It was a figurative blaze of yellow ribbons when families of fallen U.S. troops made a precedent-setting trip to Iraq in a stunning show of appreciation for the courageous men and women whose volunteer service keeps the free world a place where liberty is cherished.
Under the cover of absolute secrecy, and against all odds, the parents of troops who died in Iraq made it to the war-torn country without a single media outlet discovering the year-long trip plans.
The surprise trip couldn’t have happened at a more meaningful time—right on the heels of the inflammatory statements and stinging insults of Senator John Kerry, who incredibly suggested U.S. troops serving in Iraq lack intelligence and are “stuck” there because of their limited abilities. It also comes amid new reports from the New York Times that Saddam Hussein had a nuclear weapons program under development. Some have suggested that Hussein could have been one to two years away from developing a usable nuclear weapon.

An Iraq Surprise - PING!
Head's up. This story is now starting to hit.
Report from Canada PING
I should have included:
Good for the Canada Free Press & America’s News Source for covering this.
As I posted in another thread, we're looking to see if we can get this mentioned on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" around or after 9:00 AM. We're working on it...
Thank you for your work in trying to get the truth out into the mainstream and good luck to you.
Thanks for the good wishes, Allegra!
I can think of nothing our troops would love better than smiles and hugs from these people. This is a thousand times better than any other American. Mom and Pop America, there to tell them "good job!"
Allegra, are they going to be safe over there with this news getting out?
Oh, just wait for Georgie Stephanopoulos to try to cover and fill on Sunday. What odds the words "October surprise" will fall from his lips?
And if not from his, then surely from someone's over at CBS KGB.
Hope the folks will be okay -- the Ali Babas won't like this.
By the way, I have the impression that the term Ali Baba has passed out of circulation -- that it's sort of "2003". Is my impression correct?
Incredibly good news. Wow!!! What huge hearts these families have.
I think so. I imagine they're here now. All the flights from Amman will have come in by now and it's a short flight.
Americans come in here by the hundreds every day - either for company visits, returning from leave or just arriving for jobs. I don't think this group will really have more target value than the rest of us, which is good. They'll have good security and that's what makes a difference.
These folks are to be especially commended. They've never been here before and that first time in is scary, no matter who you are. I'll wager that President Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and the rest of them have gotten "the butterflies" the first time they came in here. I know I did.
This delegation is coming here for a noble cause and it's very brave of them to do it. KUDOS to them all.
Whenever I get a better education, of course. Just ask John Kerry. ;-)
I'll be home in January.
