Yeah, the good guys. Our troops. And the Iraqi army. We're winning. We were winning big even before we nailed Zarqawi.

I wish I could remember the screen names of all the FReepers who have gone after me for saying that very same thing over the past several months.

The ones who take what the media feeds them and dutifully ask for more. The ones who told me I didn't know what I was talking about because I'm too optimistic, blah, blah, blah.

Oh, how I wish I had bothered to remember who all these losers are so I could ping them to this.

Amen.

First, this freeper would like to thank you for your service, both abroad and on FR!! I enjoy reading your very insightful, first hand reports and posts.

IMHO, you probably won't be seeing too many of the "Iraq = quagmire, so-let's-cut-and-run" bunch, unless they want to post the "unconfirmed documents" arguement.

Thanks again !!

Can't help you there. I only bothered to remember those who said Marines probably massacred Iraqis.

Well, I'm glad to not be one of those on that list.
I always trust you.

"Yeah, the good guys. Our troops. And the Iraqi army. We're winning. We were winning big even before we nailed Zarqawi " How true! The only one's with open hearts ,eye's and minds are true Conservatives here on Freep and other Conservative sites. I heard on CBS radio news that Iraq southern area will soon be taken over completely by Iraqi troops and police so that the British and Japanese forces can move elsewhere for further support elsewhere. Have you?

Whining! Look the names up. Takes anly about ten hours of paging through "prior posts" pages.

Most -- nearly all -- freepers never gave up heart on this WOT in Iraq. Don't besmirch the whole of us for the sake of a grudge against one or two.

"Pass the beans and the bullets."

Use your sixth and watch your six while scurrying around in the land of sand. Get back home soon, safe, and I'm sure your kitties will welcome you gladly, though, they'll probably fuss at you for a short bit.

When you run across some of our troops, I'd consider it a personal favor, to let them know there's another back here in the states that sincerely appreciates them, their sacrifice, and the job they are doing (you too).

It really P'O's me how the Left abandons their support of our troops by public making statements against W's policies and procedures to fight the WOT. This does nothing but feed the enemy to fight even harder and commit more acts of terrorism.......so stupid on their part. The most amazing thing is that the Dems and the Left offer no solution to the elimination of the global danger; they just complain and criticize. They have an unrelenting denial syndrome that there are evil people in this world, want to kill them and for radical Islam to dominate the globe.

Anyway, take care of yourself, and thanks for the pics and the smiles.....may God bless.

I know exactly what you are talking about, the MSM and other doubters just don't recognize destiny when they see it. This President has had to run the gauntlet since day one of his Presidency and he has done so unbowed and with focused determination and a clear eye on the future. He, truly, isn't cowed by polls and won't change his course because of them.

I too, have been criticized when I express optimism with this President, some have replied that I am guilty of not 'contributing to the debate', I can only assume that they feel if you don't view his vision in a negative light, you are too bias to express an opinion.

Let the rant, by the end of his last term, the 'doubters' will be silent because they will see all their words scattered to the winds and will be forced to see unvarnished greatness of this man.
