Greyhawk at Mudville Gazette is blogging from Iraq, now.
| Quote: | So here is the first impression of your fine young sons: They walk straight and tall with heads held high in this war-torn world, in this sagging land. I wish you who can only read of defeat trumpeted in your newspapers or on your TVs could have walked among them and seen this for yourselves.
I read where someone said George Bush and Dick Cheney are the only people in America who think Iraq is going well. That may be so, but I don't believe for a minute they think it's a picnic.
And I saw 300 young Americans in Iraq today who didn't look like quitters. |
Go read the whole post.
If you're like me, you're going to print it out and give it to anyone who makes the mistake of using the words "quagmire" and "Iraq" in the same sentence.
