On behalf of all of us, 'You're welcome.' (Thank you ad from Iraqis)

The Iraq-America Freedom Alliance placed a full page ad in USA Today this morning, as a thank you to the United States for the sacrafices we have made to bring freedom to the streets and homes and lives of Iraq.
The sacrafices your sons and daughters made for our liberation will never be forgotten. Without those brave young men and women, this day might never have come.
Of course you won't hear about it in the mainstream media. It doesn't fit into their collective agenda of dragging down George W. Bush and his Administration. It doesn't fit into their agenda of belittling the fighting men and women who are working day in and day out to ensure that freedom, now planted, can take solid root.
But on behalf of the rest of us -- those of us who understand and believe in what our forces are doing there, I deliver a humble "You're welcome."

But we still won't hear about it from the alphabet networks or the "newspapers of record."

Just damn.

Thanks for posting! This was extremely touching - I hear they also presented a copy of the letter to the White House this morning.

How about posting this near where "Fraud-n-hype 7-11" is playing? Or making a T-shirt out of it? Not for sale, just as a personal expression of support for the Iraqi people, as well as a big "Thank you" to our CIC and our troops.

Your idea is excellent ... I called my local grocery and they've set aside several copies of the newspaper. This Thank-You To America should be in every home, for we've all been touched by the plight of the Iraqi people. To look at their words and their faces is to thank God for answered prayer ...

Double check that it's definitely in today's paper - it's possible that it may be in tomorrow's (or even yesterday's) instead.j But I think that is a fantastic idea!

None that I've heard of. In fact, in one of his political ads, he touts his Viet Nam record, his prosecutorial service (that had to be short) and his casting the deciding vote for Clinton's Economics Package (Jobs Creation) bill (1993).
Just one problem: The Jobs bill WAS held up by a Senator who wanted certain perks. He refused to vote until he got his perk. Then he cast the deciding vote and the bill passed. Trouble is, it was Bob KerrEy who held up the vote and eventually did cast the deciding vote; not John Kerry. Jacquestrap must have forgotten that he isn't Bob.
