Iraqi mayor comes to US to welcome US troops home
(May 19)COLORADO SPRINGS In a speech this morning to recently returned troops from the 3rd Armored Cavalry in Fort Carson, an Iraqi mayor thanked the soldiers for securing his city of Tel Afar and asked the American public to support the mission in his war-torn country. Mayor Najim Al Jibouri patted his hand on his heart and made the peace sign as a crowd of soldiers and their families gave him a standing ovation. "Are you truly my friends?" he asked [rhetorically] through a translator. "Yes! I walk a happier man because you are my friends. You are the world to me. I smell the sweet perfume that emanates from your flower of your strength, honor and greatness in every corner of Tel Afar. The nightmares of terror fled when the lion of your bravery entered our city." [mutha]Quagmire! They Hate Us! We are Losing we must get out NOW[/murtha] Posted by: Oldspook 2006-05-19 |
