[...] 12:45pm Eastern. You know, there are no shortage of problems with the Maliki government, but I’m getting a little sick of the meme, repeated several times just now by Democrat Rep. Ike Skelton, that the Iraqis aren’t doing anything to help themselves. It’s bull. Read Bill Ardolino’s latest dispatches from Fallujah. See also our Baghdad video report, “Iraqis speak to America.” [...]

Great interview.

It’s amazing what real journalism can accomplish if you actually have the balls to leave the Green Zone and get out there and investigate.

[...] From what we saw, the US is working with traditional Muslims in their own neighborhoods, block by block, to restore order and services and thereby dry up the radicals’ recruiting pool. It’s basic counterinsurgency thinking, and it’s governing how the military is attempting to win the war, and over time it can work. If you haven’t seen it yet, watch this video we produced from interviews we conducted in Iraq. Note how “liberal” everyone in the video appears, and pay attention to what they say–about democracy, about America, and about the war. [...]

This lifted my spirits. Thanks.

Do Iraqis have the will?

Yes. The real question is do politicians have the will? We know the Democrats are a total wash out but more disturbing is Republicians who suddenly realise that actually they oppose the war in Iraq. As for the MSM, they couldn’t be more effective at weakening American will if they recieved monthly checks from the Saudi Royal Family.

[...] And it’s even more interesting that Carter’s views on Israel don’t seem to be all that far from Bin Ladin’s. Osama’s, not the brother. Both Carter and Osama see Israel as the Middle East’s prime mover, when even Shia sheiks in Iraq know better. [...]

Excellent job and thank you once again.

I would like to see a diagram of the government we have set up for them. How many representives per capita, houses of governent, and how power is distributed. Do the people vote locally, nationally, or both?

Can you guys do that?

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Dennis Kucinich, John Murtha, Joe Biden, Carl Levin, Dick Durbin, Jay Rockerfeller, Pat Leahy, TED KENNEDY, JOHN KERRY, CHRIS DODD, HILLARY CLINTON.

These are the people in Congress who support GENOCIDE. Who want genocide. These are the people who have already betrayed America and who WILL, if we let them, betray the people of Iraq.

And to all the leftist trolls who infest this group, shackler, enrique, JaHerer22, and those who’ve been kicked off. You’re genociders, too.

So do ya’ll feel like they were saying what you wanted to hear or what they really believed?

Drtuddle on January 19, 2007 at 11:06 AM

Please. They’re Iraqis willing to fight and die for their country, not the MSM & Democrats trying to influence an outcome of defeat and surrender while they purposely ignore any good work or progress coming out of Iraq.

We’ll leave that up to Bryan and Michelle. Thanks guys.

Great stuff.

Course the DUmmies will be accusing you of ‘cherry picking’ the best interviews, or even just making it up, but I certainly trust y’all a lot more than anyone else (Including FOX, and especially “That other one”.)

There are millions of Iraqis who want to have a democratic Iraq and are appreciative of what America has done. The radical Islamists know it and have been attempting to undermine Iraq’s fragile democracy. The mainstream media does not report this becaus it would cause Americans to hang tough in Iraq.

Thank you Bryan & Michelle… watching that video made me cry and for two reasons: 1) Nobody else is showing this side of how the Iraqis feel, and 2) These people so desperately want to be free, feel grateful to the Americans, and truly have great hope for democracy in the region.

Very heartwarming for us all.

God bless you both for capturing this inspiring video for us.

Lots of love and respect for you both.

Thank you,

It is so nice to see that the war I fought in is still the same war.

As soon as I came back to the United States I thought that the war had changed to a deep dark pit. So much different from the place I spent 15 months in.

It’s amazing what the regular media has done. It’s so nice to know that the Iraqi people are still the same people who I knew and grew to understand. It’s nice to know that the Iraqi citizens still want us there.

Wow. Very moving; their words kinda helps bring things in focus. Freedom really isn’t free; these people are not only risking their lives but the lives of their families as well. I hope the quitters in the democrap party watch and read these reports and then sit quietly to digest all that is at risk if they get their way and force us to cut and run, just like they did in Viet Nam, Lebanon and Somalia. Michelle, Bryan, these reports are solid gold. God Bless you.

These Iraqi’s who were taped are very brave. They have courage far beyond most of us bloggers who can hide behind a keyboard.

For these people to take the risk of siding with the US on tape, knowing that their faces would be on video and that there’s a chance we’ll pull out and leave them to their own fate by the end of this year was an act of real courage.

Bryan on January 19, 2007 at 11:38 AM

I wonder how courageous our politicians would be without the knowledge of the USA troops to protect them.
