This is a great thread and should be seen by everyone who knocks what we are doing in Iraq. These guys have to be the bravest on the block.

Totally agree.. I was especially intrigued by this comment in the speech: "The government has accelerated the development of Iraqi special forces, and the establishment of a counter-terrorist strike force to tackle specific problems caused by insurgencies."

------THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COUNTER-TERRORIST STRIKE FORCE-----

Welll... that was MUSIC to my ears... !!!
