Greetings from Free and DEMOCRATIC Iraq,
I wanted to share with you this morning (your time) as you head to church, something that you can give thanks for. The first free elections have occurred in Iraq. All the naysayers were wrong and the Iraqi people stood up for their rights and thumbed their noses at Zarqawi and his evil band of terrorists.
The polls closed at 1700 (5PM) our time and 8AM CST but the initial reports are that 72% of the Iraqis voted. Folks we should be ashamed. We can’t get that many people to vote in the US and no one is trying to kill us.
The day was not totally violence free, as currently the death toll across the country is 31. Considering all that was forecasted and what a normal day is like, that is not bad. Also what the media will not tell you is that many of the terrorists that did conduct acts of violence, won’t do it anymore. It appears from all the reports across the region that they were left to use the third string team of terrorist. We have either killed or captured 85% of the terrorists who committed acts today. US forces have suffered no fatalities thus far and only minor injuries across the division.
It has been a good day, a Day the Lord has made! He has protected us and with His protection and blessings, we have been able to ensure that those how who have been injured and those who have died, have not done so in vain.
We have a long way to go before Iraq is able to stand on her own, but today, a very large step was taken.
Thank you for your continued prayers from my men and me.
God Bless You &God Bless America,
