Got the book...already read the book...great job, of course.

Silly question, but the signed copies are noted "Mosul, March 2008." How did that work? Did you sign the endpapers in Iraq and send them back to the US, or was that something you put with the sigs for curiosity value?

Looking forward to new updates.

Another great article!! Still amazes me how fixated liberals are too losing instead of winning.

Received your book yesterday and plan on reading it this weekend.

Once again, thanks for all you do!!

Great piece, Michael.

Thank you.

The two copies of "Moment of Truth" I have simply have an undated signature... which were obviously more hurried than the signature on the copy of "Strength and Compassion" I also have.

All,
This is an email that I sent to all of my friends. I believe that work by people like Michael Yon is important and should be supported. Regards, Jon

I try to keep informed on issues so that I can make intelligent decisions when I vote. Unfortunately, most of the common sources are from people with agendas beyond reporting facts. This is particularly true about the war in Iraq.

Trivia question: Who made regime change in Iraq an objective of the United States foreign policy???

If you know, I am impressed. Please ƒ??Googleƒ? the question to find the answer if you donƒ??t. I suspect that seven of ten people in these United States would think I was lying if I gave it here. If you are surprised by the answer, then perhaps you should ask yourself why your sources have failed to keep you informed of such basic things.

I have found a source of reporting on the war that I have come to trust:

I encourage you to check his web site. I feel his reporting is of real value to me. If you feel the same, please consider supporting him. he is oth free-lance and needs your help.

Jon, if your intent was to focus attention on the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, you should have suggested a more narrow Goggle search.

Keep telling the truth....

Got your book its a good read.

Thank you Michael. Got the book Tuesday and finished it Wednesday. Excellent as just about everything you write is a must read.

Great article Michael, and your voice is sooooo needed. Hope everyone reads it and listens to your words, understands them and to Quote you "The U.S. military is the most respected institution in Iraq, and many Iraqi boys dream of becoming American soldiers. Yes, young Iraqi boys know about "GoArmy.com." Wonder why the nightly media gets it so wrong, to hear them we are enemy number one over there.
....And further more YOU and some of us get it, this is the most pertinent statement out there what is wrong with people....... you don't pull the foundation out from under a being constructed building you finish the job. More we actually need more not less to finish the job rightly.

Here is your wuote some more: "This leads us to the most out-of-date aspect of the Senate debate: the argument about the pace of troop withdrawals. Precisely because we have made so much political progress in the past year, rather than talking about force reduction, Congress should be figuring ways and means to increase troop levels. For all our successes, we still do not have enough troops. This makes the fight longer and more lethal for the troops who are fighting. To give one example, I just returned this week from Nineveh province, where I have spent probably eight months between 2005 to 2008, and it is clear that we remain stretched very thin from the Syrian border and through Mosul. Vast swaths of Nineveh are patrolled mostly by occasional overflights."

Thanks Michael again ......Thanks!

Ordered two books. Looking forward to them.

WSJ article was great. I posted it to my blog. http://www.mychurch.org/blog/169228/Thank-you-Michael-Yon-All-Veterans-take-note

Thank you for all you do.

Wow, I hope you don't have to spend two months in El Paso; that could be as bad as Iraq.

Hey I believe that the Op-Ed was a really good idea. With all that traveling back and forth you must be tired, I bet. No matter what remember you can do it. We can and will get out of the war safe and peaceful. Keep a positive attitude and everything will be alright.

All I wanted was the truth about things in Iraq. I finished your book in two nights. It will influence my vote. I have to say I cried a dozen times, knowing the reality of all this. I say we started it, and we need to finish it. I don't like to demonize people, but why do they cut back the troops? Don't they know the meaning of insurgent? Or counter-insurgent? I am angry at the candidates now, and i want them to give these men what they need. You have truelly moved me in my heart, and I hope you will visit my website someday, and be a guest author. It would be such an honor, sir.
I am so thankful for you and all these heroes in Iraq,
Jacqueline Cady
