Thread: Iraq/Dinar Until June 9th 1PM CST

You're right - here it is:
..... WELCOME TO MOF WEBSITE .....


This is listed for June's rate.

Good Job Pegasus! Thanks! I need to learn how to make article A go to page B.....maybe when chillaxin at the pool bar with all of you......

I don't remember seeing a date in any of the articles. Perhaps I missed it. Does anyone know when Megan O'Sullivan is to arrive in Iraq?

I had the feeling that she would return to Iraq with President Talabani. She requested to have that post in April so I am sure she had time to prepare to leave. Only, common sense tells me that she should accompany President Talabani. Maybe, she did not want to miss the big day, just guessing.

Worthwhile speech on Iraq to read.

Speech by Sen. Joe Lieberman on 16 May.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++



"We gather at a critical time for the future of our country.

The war in Iraq has now become the defining issue for

this Congress and for this presidency - although the

decisions we will make in the weeks and months

ahead about Iraq will have consequences that reach

far beyond the terms of anyone now in office. Part of the

disagreement we face over Iraq comes down to a

genuine difference of opinion.



On the one hand, there are those who believe, as I

do, that the struggle against Islamist extremism really

is the central challenge of our time, and that, as General

David Petraeus - our commander in Iraq - recently said,

Iraq is now the central front of the war against Islamist

extremism.



On the other hand, there are those who reject this view

- who genuinely believe that the threat of Islamist extremism

is overstated, or that Iraq is a distraction from the "real" war

on terror, or that the war there is lost, or not worth fighting

to win.



It is my deeply held conviction that these people are not

only wrong, they are disastrously wrong - and that the

withdrawal they demand would be a moral and security

catastrophe for the United States, for Iraq, and for the

entire Middle East, including Israel and our moderate

Arab allies.



Let there be no doubt - an American defeat in Iraq would

be a victory for Al Qaeda and Iran, the two most threatening

enemies we face in the world today. It would vindicate the

hope of our enemies that America is weak and that we can

be driven to retreat by terrorism, and it would confirm the fear

of our friends - not only in Iraq, but throughout the world - that

we are unreliable allies who will abandon them in the face

of danger.



The fact of the matter is, you cannot claim to be tough on

terrorism while demanding that our military withdraw from Iraq,

because it is the terrorists -particularly Al Qaeda - that our

military is fighting in Iraq.



You cannot claim to be committed to defeating Al Qaeda,

while demanding that we abandon the heart of the Middle

East to Al Qaeda.



And you cannot claim to be tough on Iran, while demanding

the very thing that the mullahs want most of all - the retreat of

the American military from the Middle East in defeat, leaving

a vacuum that Iran will rush to fill.



I recognize that this war has been controversial, and there are

those who oppose it on principle. I respect that.



But too much of the debate we are having today about withdrawal

from Iraq has little or nothing to do with principle, or with reality in

Iraq. It is about politics and partisanship here in Washington.

For many Democrats, if President Bush is for it, they must be against

it. If the war is going badly, it is bad for Republicans and it is good for

Democrats. It is as simple as that, and it is as wrong as that.

For many Republicans, the unpopularity of this war and this President

has begun to shake their will. They say that they have no choice

but to abandon General Petraeus and his strategy because the

American people tell the pollsters they want out. If previous

generations of American leaders had allowed their conduct of war

to be shaped by partisanship or public opinion polls, we would not

be the strong and free nation we are blessed to be today.



Republicans in Congress delude themselves if they

think they will be helping either themselves, their party, or

their country if they now attempt to wash their hands of Iraq,

out of a sudden sense of political anxiety.



Democrats in Congress delude themselves if they

think they will not be held accountable for the bloody

consequences of the retreat from Iraq they seek.



The fact is, a loss to Al Qaeda and Iran in Iraq

would be devastating to our security. These are fateful

days and critical decisions we are making about Iraq.

We must make them with our eye on the safety of America's

next generation, not the outcome of America's next

election.



It is to the everlasting credit of President Bush

that in the war against Islamist extremism he has shown the

courage and steadfastness to stand against the political

passions of the moment.



I have never hesitated to express disagreement with

the President on any issue when I felt he was wrong - and

I have criticized his administration many times for the serious

mistakes I believe it made in prosecuting the war in Iraq.

But let me tell you this: I believe that each of us should be

grateful that we have a commander-in-chief who does not

believe that decisions about war should be driven by poll

numbers. And each of us should be grateful that we have

a commander-in-chief who does not confuse what is popular

with what is right for our security as a nation. The public

opinion polls may not reflect this today, but I believe history will

tomorrow.



My friends, as Ronald Reagan once said, now is the

time for choosing.



If we stand united through the months ahead, if we

stand firm against the terrorists who want to drive us to retreat,

the war in Iraq can be won and the lives of millions of people

can be saved.



But if we surrender to the barbarism of suicide bombers and

abandon the heart of the Middle East to fanatics and killers, to

Al Qaeda and Iran, then all that our men and women in uniform

have fought, and died for, will be lost, and we will be left a much

less secure and free nation.



That is the choice we in Washington will make this

summer and this fall. It is a choice not just about our

foreign policy and our national security and our interests

in the Middle East. It is about what our political leaders

in both parties are prepared to stand for. It is about our very

soul as a nation. It is about who we are, and who

we want to be.



Will this be the moment in history when America gives up

- when Al Qaeda breaks our will, when our enemies surge

forward, when we turn our backs on our friends and begin

a long retreat from our principles and promise as a nation?



Or will this be the moment when America steps forward,

when we pull together, when we hold fast to the courage of our

convictions, when - with a new strategy, and a new commander

on the ground - we begin to turn the tide toward victory in this

long and difficult war?



I know that we can rise above the anger and smallness of our

politics. I know we can rise to the greatness that this moment

demands of us.



The question is - will we choose to do so?

I would like to close today by sharing with you a

story from my last visit to Iraq a few months ago. It

was in Anbar province in western Iraq - the

center of the insurgency - a part of the country

that conventional wisdom last year dismissed as hopeless.



In fact, on September 11, 2006, the Washington Post

ran a front-page story reporting that even the chief of Marine

Corps intelligence in Iraq had concluded that Anbar was "lost,"

and our position there was "beyond repair."

I was in Anbar last December, on a forward operating

base just outside Ramadi, the capital of the province. As one

of the briefings with our military commanders ended, a colonel

who had been sitting in the back of the room came up to me.

He said something that I carry with me to this day -

something that I hope you will carry with you as well.



He said: "Sir, I want you to know on behalf of the soldiers in

my unit and myself that we believe in why we are fighting here,

we want to finish this fight. And we know we can win it."

Today, five months later, Anbar has been dramatically transformed.

Thanks to the bravery, ingenuity, and commitment of our men

and women in uniform, shops and schools have reopened, Al

Qaeda is on the run, thousands of Iraqis have joined the local

police, and - yes - no less than the New York Times reports that

we have turned the corner there.



My friends, now is not the time for despair.

Now is the time for resolve.

Now is not the time for reflexive partisanship and

pandering to public opinion.

Now is the time for the kind of patriotism and

principle America's voters have always honored.

I ask you to plead with every member of Congress you

can in the days and weeks ahead:



Do not surrender to hopelessness.



Do not succumb to defeat.



Do not give in to fear.



Rise above the political pressures of the moment to

do what is right for America.



Believe, like that colonel, in why we are fighting in Iraq, and know,

as he and his soldiers know, that we can and must win there."
