CSTV- Iraq gives President George W Bush, our armed forces, and perhaps the world, a truly wonderful gift for Christmas.
The Light of the World, the Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Wonderful Counselor rose up in a land that no one would have believed could happen ... Christmas in Baghdad.
This day is exciting to me ... I believed it could be done.
