Iam a US soldier stationed in Bayji, Iraq and Iam proud of the Iraqi people. The insurrgents target them twice as much as they go after us.
I watched until around 1:30 CST this morning in central USA. It was fun to watch their jubilance. It makes us proud of you and them and freedom.
It was also fun listening to CNN trying to find some negatives to report. One CNN desk reporter was interviewing a female reporter in the field. He was asking about bombing and threats and how intimidated the people were. The female reporter couldn't respond because, behind her, voters were cheering, clapping, yelling. lol. Desk reporter turned desk over to another female who did have a field guy with a few negatives----but in the background of him was a growing line of voters.
Great threads started last evening:
