>>"She remarked that although you don't see it in the news here much, the Iraqi people are truly grateful that we are there and that we liberated the country and freed it from Saddam. The refrain she heard a lot from Iraqis was "Bush Good" (pronounced "Booosh Good")"<< "She"....."She"???.......I thought Baghdad Bob was a guy. What is your point Dan? You refuse to believe that the majority of Iraqis are actually glad that we're there, restoring the electrictity, oil fields, water systems?

"She"....."She"???.......I thought Baghdad Bob was a guy. Dan I see you have not responded to my earlier post. I would ask you this... Have you been to Iraq in the past 18 months? If not, what makes you feel that you are in a postition to comment on the remarks of someone who was? Someone, by the way, who left a safe home in a safe community, and a good jobthat pays well to go to a country where there is danger daily of severe bodily harm or even death. Someone who was there first-hand to see and observe. Why do you think its appropriate to belittle this person's remarks about what she saw, heard and did there and to equate to Baghdad Bob, the propagandist of the Saddam Hussein government? Just wondering, Dan. Please post your response if you have one.

"She remarked that although you don't see it in the news here much, the Iraqi people are truly grateful that we are there and that we liberated the country and freed it from Saddam. The refrain she heard a lot from Iraqis was "Bush Good" (pronounced "Booosh Good")" You only get the "newsworthy" highlights via the media. I live in ME and have many friends in Iraq both workers and soldiers. The above is much closer to the truth than the regular dose of burning vehicles that they show on TV. Regards Neil
