BTW on Wednesday at the checkout (grocery store) I mentioned something about the Iraqi team to the checkout gal and also about the Iraqi bloggers.

She asked me ‘Are they grateful?’ I answered ‘You bet!’ and she smiled and said it’s all okay then.

That was it.

I read a good year ago, don’t remember who said it, that all the American people need to know is that the Iraqi’s are grateful.

The New York Times must sense that because they’ll be damned if they’ll show any gratitude or warm feelings from a single Iraqi. You’d think out of 25 million Iraqi’s the Old Bitty could find at least one who isn’t shooting at our guys.
