		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Thank you GEORGE W. BUSH for making it happen.

RobCon on June 29, 2009 at 6:53 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Exactly.  

In this face of your own &quot;countrymen&quot; doing all that they could to give aid and comfort to the enemy.  In the face of the treasonous Democrat Party cynically undermining our military and Commander in Chief, in a time of war, for greedy political gain.  

In truth, it was a victory of the traitor scum Democrat Party, which is why there will be no victory parade down Independence Avenue.  

The real war will be won when the Democrat Party in this country, is defeated and destroyed.</description>

Maybe they should help us get rid of a tyrant.</description>

		<description>This is a good moment to express my gratitude to the troops who, although they may or may not realize it now, have done more for world freedom, and freedom IS freedom, than I believe any of us realize. The domino effect that their neighbor dictators so fought against by investing in arms and training for Al Queda, is already having a strong effect in Iran. And it won&#039;t stop there.

I believe that peace between Palestinians and Israel will come as a result of America&#039;s efforts in Iraq. How? As freedom and prosperity is something everyone wants, for themselves and more importantly, for their children and as Muslim nations embrace capitalism and garner prosperity through self-determination, then live and let live attitudes grow -- slowly, certainly. Parents everywhere will gladly spend more time helping their children, than finding ways to hurt others, if they are given the opportunity to help their own children in any significant way. Like Americans, Iraqis now enjoy these opportunities.

I may not see Israel and Palestinians living in peace in my lifetime, but I can see the light at the end of that long tunnel thanks to the sacrifices of our and Iraq&#039;s peoples in the name of freedom.

Let&#039;s never forget how precious freedom is and that it is worth fighting for. May God bless the Iraqis so that they may enjoy the relief from tyranny for generations to come.</description>

		<description>Pelosi, Reid, Obama et. al. despite all your bluster, you know deep in your heart that if you had made the final calls, the Iraqi people would not be free today. Thankfully for everyone except the tyrants in Iraqis neighboring countries, you will not have to live with that legacy.</description>

		<description>But..But, we were there as imperialists and after the oil!  The Iraqis need a dictator and can&#039;t possibly manage democracy!

Our best wishes to the Iraqis and their democratically elected leaders!  And our best wishes to the Iranian people (but NOT the thugs that rule over them...at the moment.)

And our best wishes to Honduras, who government proved that a democratically elected leader who violates the balance of power in an attempt to gain total control will suffer quick rebuke of such attempts.</description>

		<description>It is indeed a great day.  I wish the Iraqi&#039;s success, that our troops can get out of there very soon, and never have to go back.

So try to to screw it up Iraq.  You have independence, and unlike our ancestors you didn&#039;t have to win it yourselves.  So cherish it like I&#039;m sure our fore fathers did.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Why does Maliki tell the Iraqi people that the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq is a “great victory”? For whom is it a great victory? The U.S.? Iraq?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Both. This is the place we&#039;ve been fighting to get to for the last 6 years. That the Iraqis are ready to secure their own cities is a win for them &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; for those who have been training them to do it, as well as for those who have been doing it in their stead. Those last two groups are both the US military.</description>
