KTFA:
Popeye7: Terrific CC this last evening Frank, and Tink... Loved your play on words as it concerned the companies that were waiting to get inside of Iraq...
Something to the effect that these foreign companies have their faces against the window pane, looking from the outside in such pain, as they waited to be invited into Iraq...
The time is now, and as you, and your teams have declared to us months ago, is truly transpiring before our very eyes... Amazing!...
Thanks again to Walkingstick, Delta, FF's, and the teams for such diligent work
