Glad we followed the advice of John McCain:
Marines with Company C, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 1, met with school officials in Khalidyah recently to discuss any essential services the school may need. During their meeting, the Marines donated backpacks and school supplies, which teachers handed out to students.
“Our children are our future,” explained Hamda Fauil Metap, the Khalidyah school’s headmaster. “They see everyday, how Iraq is growing and they will be the ones to make the advancements to the community as they grow older.”
Khalidyah’s community joined together during the last few weeks to clean the school’s grounds and make repairs in preparation for the start of the new school year.
Students also took part in their schools’ cleanup, sweeping rooms and organizing desks.
“It is important that the children have a clean and adequate place to learn,” explained Metap.
Metap has been teaching for 25 years and in that time she said she has never seen a brighter future for the children than in recent months.
“Everything [the Marines] and the Iraqi community have done for us, we are extremely grateful,” she said.
That would be the Marines that Democrats – like Jack Murtha – called cold-blooded murderers; the other people who accused our Marines of being that go by the name of “terrorist”….though, given that they fought the Marines, they most usually go by the name of “dead terrorist” these days.
Never, never, never forget that Obama and his Democrats wanted the United States of America to lose in Iraq – and they wanted us to lose because they felt (and still feel) that America’s defeat is the Democrats’ victory.
