flipping off Zarqawi
If you guys do NOTHING ELSE before lunchtime, today, read columnist Kathleen Parker's piece, Flipping the finger for freedom. It's eloquent, inspiring, and right on target (though I'm a day late reading the piece and posting the link).
According to Kathleen, "To the extent that Iraqis took control of their own lives for even a single day - inhaling freedom and giving hope to others still choked in the grip of tyranny - we have a right to grin."
Oh, and regarding Ms. Pelosi and other hopeful-defeatists who say that Iraq has become a "magnet" for terrorists from around the world, I am reminded of U.S. Marine Brigadier General John Kelly's words.
During the 2003 invasion when intelligence indicated that foreign troops were coming to the aid of Iraqi diehards, Kelly stated, "We want all Jihad fighters to come here. That way we can kill them all before they get bus tickets to New York City."
