"The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."

Iraqi Forces Stop Insurgent Attacks

According to a news release from CENTCOM, available here, Iraqi Police Forces defeated Insurgent forces who attacked police stations in the city of Mosul today. While much has been made by the MSM and those on the left about how the U.S. is shouldering all the casualties in Iraq, what has seemed to go unnoticed is all the sacrifices the Iraqis themselves have been making for the future of their own country. Scarcely anyone has mentioned the fact that more Iraqis are dying in Iraq today than are Americans, and it its Iraqis who are bravely standing up to the violent few who are trying desperately to prevent Iraq from reaching the elections in January. Iraqis are proving time and time again that they are willing to fight and die so that they and their posterity can live in a future Iraq that is free and democratic. Instead of trashing the effort over there, we in America should proudly stand by and support these brave Iraqis.

Thanks to Blogs For Bush for bringing my attention to this story.
