Don't bother looking for any of this in the MSM, Drive By Media...
"A Bishop came to St John’s Church in Baghdad today, 15 November, where a crowd of locals welcomed him home. They were joined at the service by soldiers from the 2-12 infantry battalion, many of whom had fought hard to secure these neighborhood streets. Members of the hard-fighting Iraqi Army 3rd Division were also here for this special day."
"Today, Muslims mostly filled the front pews of St John’s. Muslims who want their Christian friends and neighbors to come home. The Christians who might see these photos likely will recognize their friends here. The Muslims in this neighborhood worry that other people will take the homes of their Christian neighbors, and that the Christians will never come back. And so they came to St John’s today in force, and they showed their faces, and they said, “Come back to Iraq. Come home.” They wanted the cameras to catch it. They wanted to spread the word: Come home. Muslims keep telling me to get it on the news. “Tell the Christians to come home to their country Iraq.”"
"It was the first mass said in St John’s since the church was shuttered after the nearby St George’s was destroyed and clergy in the north were kidnapped, tortured and executed."
"This Christian mom wanted to show off her kids. Muslim women also do this. Iraqi women love to show off their kids."
This is all clearly good news from Iraq that you will never see on TV or in the msm press...

Thanks to the U.S. Military for this astounding turnaround in such a short period of time...
We can now not only see the light at the end of the tunnel, but we can see a vindication of the Bush policy in the WOT...
