100,000’s of Iraqis Enthusiastically Return Home

Yes. How quickly things change. Especially the Democrats tone in regards to the positive news coming from Iraq.

After years of minimizing our gains and successes, highlighting our challenges and losses, and false demoralizing statements coming from your run of the mill Democrat in Congress, looks like even they can no longer ignore the good news. I guess they'll just have to resort to moving the goalposts again. :hmm: A time honored tactic from them.

Just wait, when Billary is the nominee you will see a pro-war, pro-troop Democrat party in 2008.

Wow no Skybird posts in this thread? I think Bush really just disguised illegal Mexican immigrants as Iraqis and sent them there as a ruse...

I just talked to my son this week. His Company (detached) is patrolling the Iraq/Iran Border. Bt wording my question right he was able to tell me that, "Things are pretty quiet." Well--if he's bored that's the best news he could give me

!

I sure hope this indicates a sustainable trend and isn't just a lull (as the paranoid half of my mind tells me).

The general sense seems to be that it's certainly quieter, but the same tensions/conflicts exist.
