For those on this thread that may have missed it...read the words posted by iraqikurd...a young man (and new FReeper) born in Iraq, whose parents were murdered by Saddam...and who had the good fortune of being brought to the United States to live.
It will make what we are witnessing today in Iraq even more meaningful to you!

seemed to end by saying that we must succeed in Iraq, so President Bush must outline and share with the American people a better strategy!LOL. How much energy and effort must go in to ignoring reality, I can't begin to imagine.

Afternoon...did anyone just hear the report on Fox....we stopped TWO FEMALE SUICIDE BOMBERS......before they went boom.
One was from Saudi Arabia and the other one was from Jordan.
Excellent news!

when I divide 5 with 1200 I come up with 0.0041666666, not 0.42. Correct: 5/1200 is 0.00416666. However, when expressing it as a percentage, as you originally did, you multiply by 100 which moves the decimal place to the right two digits. I merely rounded to 0.42%, which is common, IMHO.
Nevertheless, we are in full agreement on the point itself: that the ratio is disheartening to the terrorists and the Democrats.

One was from Saudi Arabia and the other one was from Jordan.No, I missed that. I take it they were in Iraq? If so, I am quite surprised since Chrissy Matthews has assured me that the "insurgents" there are all locals.

5 is the latest count I have seen. Not holding my breath that this statistic will be reported.

So, the small minority sunnis are "deeply divided" - good!
Last week a "lady" actually tried to convince a group of us that SH was the democratically elected leader of Iraq and we had no business removing him.
I laughed in her face and turned my back, another continued to point to facts, which of course she did not want to hear and rejected them out right.
Should I mention she said she had 2 degrees and is a lawyer?

Wesley Clark sounds like the idiot dems that talk about setting a time certain pull out!!
He wants Bush to tell the American people military strategy huh????
Well, isn't that special? I guess he wouldn't mind that Zarquawi sits in on the classified briefings then, either???
I cannot believe that he was even in the military...but to find out he was a GENERAL>....scary!!!!
