(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.

It's still widely used...among the Iraqis and the Americans. I tease some of my vendors if they quote too high on something and I tell them "You might want to come down a little on that price, Ali Baba." They laugh.
And come down on their prices.
Here's the official release this morning from MAF:

That twit-for-brains. Who'd a thunk the Pubbies' "October surprise" would turn out to be an old-news Democrat?
Like Senator Gallus told Sejanus in I, Claudius, "that's why the gods gave humanity a sense of smell!!
I'm sure the emotions are running pretty high for these folks on the momentous journey.God bless all of them !!!
Is this what MAF were trailing yesterday? If so, although it is a wonderful human story, I can't see how it will effect foreign policy as suggested yesterday.
God bless the gold star mothers and their families and keep them safe in Iraq.
We can't blame sKerry for his idiocy... It was obviously the fault of Rove's Ventriloquist Machine (just in time for the elections)...
God Bless all our troops and other volunteers everywhere!
Yes, it was a very pleasant, sunny, mild fall day in Baghdad. It is dusk now.
Yep it is. The reference to foreign policy is the war on Iraq following the news of Saddam's nuclear program (New York Times) and Senator Kerry's remarks (which are being rebutted by the GSFamilies in Iraq as we speak).
Got a spot on FOX now! Hope there's more coverage!
Great job!
They'll come back feeling like they have thousands of sons and daughters....ALL...gifts from God!!
It will bring tears to your eyes!
Thanks for the ping, this is great news!
Thanks for the ping.
Bump!
