That is great. I love to hear the progress that SF has made with the Iraqis. I hope they never forget it and honor it once we give them total control of their country. Sounds like they are and will be a baddass force to be reckoned with.

Evening News

Saw this last night. Pretty good piece of news from CBS. They covered what USA SF has been doing plus how Iraqi's SF Army Unit is now selecting and training their own. Even talked about how their selection is ran (modeled) after ours.

Showed the Iraqi doing some CCMS drills. They talked about how they are "vetting" their own, and found one insurgent within the 500(+) PAX going through the training.

Thanks Dan. That is a great news story.

Hopefully people will send the story and the link to their friends and families to help spread the word.

Wasn't there a song once....K-K-K-K-Katie (communist related)? Maybe it was in a movie or something.
