One of my heroes emailed me from Iraq earlier today.  Some of you will know Phil from the gates of Walter Reed, where he has tirelessly supported his wounded brothers and sisters in arms.  Phil did a tour in Iraq as a soldier and is now there in a different capacity.  I was so happy by the simple nature of the email he sent, that I felt compelled to share it with you all.  Anyone who doubts that Victory, albeit a still fragile victory, has been achieved in Iraq thanks to our brave men and women in uniform only needs to read the email below.  Thank you Phil for sharing and thank you my OIF/OEF brothers and sisters for SAVING THE WORLD.  Manchu                                         

Civilian air traffic at Baghdad International airport is non-stop.  While it is not O'Hare or Atlanta, it is real.  No wonder the terrorists are all heading to other countries.  You can stay at the hotel at the airport for $225 a night US.

Come invest in the world's newest democracy.
