Mideast Snapshot - Christmas Edition
Christmas at Camp Victory in Iraq. Photo taken by CNN cameraman Joe Duran, currently on assignment in Baghdad.

We USA do THANK ALL our Troops anywhere that they are for all their hard work, in fighting to keep our FREEDOM. We know it comes with a great price and you are paying it. We pray for you all and know that your rewards will be great!!!!! And Jesus is the Reason for the Season!!!!
the previous poster is thanking the American soldiers for their great work in Iraq.I am wondering what hard work he is talking about?is he thanking them for destroying a whole country because of a big lie about WMD?or is he thanking them for murdering 2 million Iraqis mostly women and children for no reason?my thanks goes to the Iraqi resistance against the American occupation troop it shows that free people will fight for their freedoms.
The previous statement shows a lack of common sense and an inability to be persuaded by facts and the truth. As an American, I prey for the Iraqi people, that they find peace with the help and support of our brave soldiers, so that we can come home and Iraq can stand alone... a free people. The US is the only nation in history that has not taken land after its wars. Ignorance is very difficult to combat though... Our soldiers should have pride and will come home with my all my respect and gratitude.
in answer to the previous poster.Iraq was standing proud with its people before the American invasion.there was no Sunni, shia, problem till the Americans came with their made in the US Iraqi stooges, all together 2 million Iraqi die because of your proud soldiers.your soldiers can have all the respect from you, but from an Iraqi I wish they pay a price for what they did to Iraq.
