You ever try and get a bunch of people from different walks of life to work together?
If you have, you know that the above release is not only very positive, but also evidence that what our military is doing in Iraq is history in the making.
Also, in yesterdays news we find the truth about the air strike in Pakistan.
Foreign terrorists were invited to dinner, and were killed in the air strike.
So Pakistan wants an apology?
Okay. I am sorry you invited enemies of the U.S. to dinner.
Next time you schedule a get together better leave the foreign terrorists off the guest list.
