NOT in the (MSM) news...
Somehow, I missed this inspiring bit of news from Iraq (this is from the President's March 8 speech):
Last month, when soldiers of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment were on combat patrol north of Baghdad, one of their Humvees fell into a canal, and Iraqi troops came to their rescue -- plunging into the water again and again, until the last American was recovered. The Army colonel in charge of the unit said, "When I saw those Iraqis in the water, fighting to save their American brothers, I saw a glimpse of the future of this country."
I especially appreciate this Iraqi soldier's sentiments:
One of the Iraqi soldiers commented, "These people have come a
hundred -- 10,000 miles to help my country. They've left their
families and their children. If we can give them something back,
just a little, we can show our thanks."
Understated as it may be, it's still encouraging to hear.
