Iraqi's Treating U.S. as LIBERATORS

From Flopping Aces:
ANBAR Province in Iraq presented President Bush with a letter dedicating their success against Al Qaeda to the victims of the 9/11/2001 attacks on the WTC and US pentagon.
The letter doesn't call the US occupiers, doesn't demand U.S. withdrawal, doesn't say that Al Qaeda is only in Iraq because US soldiers are in Iraq and doesn't call for an investigation into why Bush lied about Saddam's WMD's.
It says thank you, they remember the tragedy of 9/11 and are saddened by America's loss.

This flies in the face of Democrats and liberals alike who have been claiming that Americans are killing innocent Iraqi's and not winning the hearts and minds as well as their claims that Al Qaeda has nothing to do with Iraq.
Of course this does not fit the main stream media's template for a US defeat in Iraq either, so naturally it has gone virtually unreported.

Democrats should be forced to give their "we can't win" speech to the folks in Anbar and directly to the troops in the field, instead of from hiding in their Ivory towers... if that were the case, I suspect we would be hearing a different tune.

UPDATE: 09/12/07 The price of freedom is high, very high...others must now step forward to show the Jihadi's that there are more Iraqi's against them than there are Iraq'is willing to let them take their country from them.
The locals in this area have seen violence before and plenty of it, no doubt about that. The murder of their leader should only strengthen their resolve and bring on the wrath of the US forces in cooperation with local Sunni's. The Anbar province area has been LOST by the Jihadists and it is going to stay that way.

UPDATE #2: 09/13/07 Al Qaeda Suffers Heavy Losses north of Baghdad as US troops in cooperation with local Iraqi's continue to kill and capture remaining groups and scattered elements as further evidence the surge is working as planned.
