I especially appreciate hearing the "real story" from someone who is there and is rational.<BR/> <BR/>LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-50607884931450444122007-04-18T14:54:00.000-07:002007-04-18T14:54:00.000-07:00Bill - please send this to the PV news and ask the...Bill - please send this to the PV news and ask them to publish it and to the Daily Breeze also! I know soldiers in Iraq that say if we stay the course we are winning and are forcing the Iraquis to defend themselves! Keep up the good work and tell this fellow for me - thank you! Have him send me his address and I will forward boxes of books, food and shampoos etc to him and his troops! Also send me your grandson's address once again as my computer crashed and all addresses etc were on it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>HelenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-52172455964300212042007-04-18T08:57:00.000-07:002007-04-18T08:57:00.000-07:00Dave,You're a brave man and clearly have an excell...Dave,<BR/><BR/>You're a brave man and clearly have an excellent perspective on the situation in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>However, the problem that most of us have is to reconcile the conflicting accounts of what's real and what isn't. For example, how do we square what you say in one paragraph:<BR/><BR/>"Baghdad is vastly different and 1000% worse than my last two tours here"<BR/><BR/>with what you say a little later:<BR/><BR/>"Progress here is being made, albeit slowly . . I think."<BR/><BR/>Then we get John McCain, Lindsey Graham and other clowns walking through the Baghdad market surrounded by armed guards and helicopters, saying how safe it is and bragging about the cheap rugs they've bought.<BR/><BR/>Most of us want the truth, but it's hard to get and even harder to understand.<BR/><BR/>TexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-42914526515234833402007-04-18T08:50:00.000-07:002007-04-18T08:50:00.000-07:00Hi dad, Wow, what a letter.

Johnny has said the same thing about the news reporting... take what you hear with a grain of salt. <BR/>Be safe Dave.

Too bad the left leaning liberal loonies and most of the media do not feel this way.<BR/> <BR/>KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
