-------------------- The Truth About Iraq. The war in Iraq and the war on terrorism are costing us less than one percent of the GDP. Stabilizing Iraq and fighting terrorism where it has its roots is a wise move for the entire free world and... [Zogby Blog] 10:29:01 PM    comment []

-------------------- Another letter from the Iraqi Front I have a little story about the triumph of human spirit and the intestinal fortituide of our soldiers.
