Have I mentioned this Iraqi blog? All kinds of good stuff if you want a feel from an Iraqi who is very glad America is there. 2Slick (who is back home btw!!!!!) mentioned him first. His blog was called "Liberal Iraqi." Which he meant to mean a free Iraqi, so since liberal has a different meaning here he has changed it to....Free Iraqi!

This is the New York Times article about him.

This is what he said about what the NY Times article said about him.

Chrenkoff gives us why we might feel a need to get the story from Iraq straight from an Iraqi.

Speaking of 2Slick, since he has been back people have been asking him what about Fallujah? To which he says this:

"To everybody who's been asking me about what's happening in Fallujah: It should be obvious. You're not hearing anything about it on the MSM. Draw your own conclusions. Remember when Najaf was the hottest topic of the day? Whatever happened to Najaf?"

I guess no news is good news? Welcome back 2Slick. Glad your home safe and sound!

Have yall seen this post over at Blackfive? It shows a photo from Yahoo News of soldiers talking to Kerry in Iraq on Jan. 5th. The woman soldier (Specialist Lacourse) in the middle of the photo is sending the POW hand signal for coercion....LOL!!!

Even funnier...this short video. If only it could always happen that way. via Blackfive.


Iraqi elections will proceed as planned. We will not back down in the face of monsters who seek to kill and destroy democracy.
To the soldiers who stand ready for this leap into freedom for the Iraqi people, God be with you. God be with those who brave their own safety to vote.

Imagine. We here in the U.S. just voted and our biggest fear were long lines. We never feared suicide bombers or kidnappings. There is no doubt that our cultures differ, but just as the yearning for our voices to be heard is the same, the taste of freedom for the Iraqi people will taste as sweet to them as it does to us.
