Fox showed an Iraqi woman, seemingly somewhere between 60-70 years old, coming out of a polling place in Iraq yesterday, a purple finger denoting she had exercised her new right to vote. She noticed the camera and turned to speak. She said thankk goodness for the U.S., for our military, and for George Bush in helping them to get to 'this' point (to where they could hold free democratic elections in Iraq), as they would never have gotten that far without us. She then added that "whoever does not support the United States and George Bush could go to h@ll!"
I know bad news is what sells papers and gets people to watch the news, but the TRUTH about Iraq is NOT getting out. That is what ticks soldiers returning home the most! More hospitals and schools have opened up. Girls are going to school now. Soldiers play games with kids. School children sing songs in scholls praising our soldiers. These are just a few stories from my buddies coming back from there. I swear, our own news agencies are about as bad as Al Jazeera, the Al Qaeda News Network! No wonder our people at home are getting tired of the war, never seeing the rpogress we are making!
This woman is only 1 person in Iraq, but she speaks for the majority of the nation! The turnout for the Iraqi elections has been astounding, as in at a percentage WE have never seen - and we don't have to worry about roadside bombs, insurgents blosing up election sites, etc.! These are a people tired of being oppressed and hungry for democracy!
Our soldiers are not the equivalent of Hitler's Nazis or the genocidal Pol Pot regemists that slaughtered millions of their countrymen, as (D) Senator Dick Durbin has claimed! Our soldiers are NOT TERRORISTS, terrorizing women and children, as (D) Senator John F'ing Kerry has declared! They are liberators! They are defenders of freedom, protectors of US! They are men and women who have given up everything voluntarily to fight for this country, only to have pathetic pieces of cr@p like Kerry and Durbin attack them from behind at home while they face another enemy overseas!
I will even go 1 step further here:
I looked up the Legal definition of 'Treason', and this is what I found:
TREASON - This word imports a betraying, treachery, or breach of allegiance.
The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

By the legal letter of the law, anyone who 'gives aid and comfort to the enemy' is guiltyof treason. I am not saying they should be...I am not saying they would ever be found guilty of it...but by LEGAL DEFINITION, I suggest that the comments of John Kerry (Calling our troops terrorists), Dick Durbin ("Nazis, Pol Pot regemists" comment), (D) Senators Murtha (and Pelosi) who are declared we can not win the war, and the Chairman of the 2nd political party in the U.S. is declaring to the world that the U.S. can not win the war - all meet the legalistic requirement for the definition of 'Treason!
Mr. Dean's comments, for example, have become a rallying cry for the insurgents and terrorists trying to kill our troops, emboldening them to stay the course to outlast us!
The Democrat's response to bringing up the fact that they are attacking and villainizing our troops, calling them terrorists, eroding the resolve of our nation, and emboldening the terrorist is to wrap themselves in the flag and ridicule us for questioning their patriotism! Meanwhile, many Dems are running away from Dean as if he were a Leper, knowing darn well what damage he is doing and fearing a backlash from the American people! One (D) Senator even made the comment that Dean should Shut Up while another said he doesn't speak for him or the party. (Then why is he still chairman?)
The truth, though, and I am not talking the political truth, was seen by that one woman's comments as she exited the polls, voting in iraq's 1st true democratic election! We are making progress. We are winning! The Iraqis want us desperately to stay and see this through instead of abandoning them before the job is done, and they are extremely eager to get to a point where they can fullytake over themselves! They are getting there!
