The Dems will probably say that the Bush administration forced the mayor to make that statement just to boost the war effort.

Can Anything good come out of the Democratic Party of America (Besides Zell Miller of course)?

nuconvert noted on post #3 this article has already been posted. It appeared today as a two page spread in the NY Post. We can never have too much mention of our brave troops, even in redundant threads.

It's only been posted twice .. and at least a few more times will be good - more and more people need to read this - it totally refutes the left's statements that the people of Iraq see us as "occupiers" and not "liberators".

Thanks for posting it again!!
