My response:
I think this is excellent, as the American media's spin on the War on Terrorism is disgusting. Has anyone given any thoughts that the murder rate in major American cities (read: largely controlled by liberal Democrats, and lots of gun control laws), individually or combined, is higher than the US troop casualty rate in Iraq?

Good work! I saw your post to those morons. There are a few of us posted there now, so it's 3 to 3. Hopefully more FReepers and other decent Americans will weigh in, too. What nasty, nasty tools of satan!

Awesome!May their trip be successful & may they return home safe!
God Bless our troops, their families & those who truly support them!
To: Jim Robinson
God bless and protect these good people. A simple "thank-you, we support you" from the Gold Star Families will mean more to our troops than all the politicians and pundits visits!

NO! I haven't given that a thought, but it is a thought worth thinking. So, the next time I hear someone sound off about the Iraq war, I just respond, if Iraq is so dangerous, how come the murder rate in (fill in the blank) exceeds the danger our soldiers face on the front lines? For that matter and I believe someone mentioned this already, that more people die in traffic accidents, in one day in the USA than soldiers in Iraq in three months time. Abortion alone kills more babies in one day than all the soldiers killed in Iraq up to this time and more.

“The American people are shown a skewed picture of the situation in Iraq day after day by the international news media. We felt it was time to allow the families of U.S. troops who died in Iraq to come see the progress being made in Iraq and report it back to the American ,” said Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward. WOOOOHOOOOOO!!
I'd LOVE to meet any of the FReepers in this delegation. Heck, I'd be honored to meet any of them. God bless them all.

My understanding is Kristinn is on the mission. God bless him.Oh, what a treasure our Kristinn is!
... God keep them
ALL safe!
I am sure it will be very difficult to be on the ground, in the vicinity where their precious loved ones were killed. I am also sure they will want to hug & thank EVERY single Man and Woman there serving there.
I cannot wait to read the reports & see the pix (I should have gone as official photographer?)
Thanks for the ping Tiggles
