Iraqi Army at Besmaya Donates to San Diego Fire Victims

They have little to support their own families.
But, the Iraqi Army collected a donation for the fire victims in California anyway.

And, they passed it on in a moving ceremony on Thursday night.
Op For has this wonderful story from Iraq that you won't see in the news.

    Given the anti-American screed coming from Arnold's Lt. Governor this week, this offer should be a huge slice of humble-pie for California. You know, the land of fruits and nuts.

    Successful Concerned Local Citizens
    program makes way for others

    excerpts:

    [Sunnis and Shias are banning together in Besamaya and establishing a Concerned Local Citizens program in their area.]

    [“As a Sunni, I am happy to see Shia people fighting al-Qaeda and Shia extremists with us,” said Ammosh through an interpreter. “Both sides are now fighting the same enemy. Four years ago there was a separation of the people in the area and we lived in a bad situation. We must accept what has happened, but then come together and become one body.”]

    [“The Concerned Local Citizens (program) is seen by the locals as a way to take control of their neighborhoods,” said Thomas. “For four years the people in Khargulia felt like their hands were tied. It is human nature to want to defend your neighborhoods, your family and your livelihood. Every neighborhood in our AO (area of operation) that has one (CLC) is doing well. The areas that don’t have one, want one.”]

    day by day Iraqis are finding a better way!!

    How wonderful this is!! What an example of humanity and goodness. My heart goes out to them all for their charity.

    It would be great for a reciprical donation back to them - to help them rebuild their lives. I would gladly give for their cause, as well. Anyone know a way to do this?


    And, how sad that the MSM cannot run this news worthy piece, as it goes against their agenda. What an example of low-lifes and deceit. My contempt goes out to them all for their sedition.
