Page 2: "This report can best be described as a middle finger of defiance aimed at the gloom and doom armchair generals in Congress, the media, and Fort Living Room. It is offered as a beacon of hope to those Americans, Iraqis, and coalition partners striving for victory in Free Iraq against a global, political, military and media alliance committed to our defeat. The American and Iraqi people were ill-served by the Iraq Study Group report issued last year. It was a little more than a prescription for capitulation to our enemies and betrayal of our allies."

Page 50: "Miracles have been performed in Iraq. Not by gods, but by men doing God's work...Out of the ashes of that cruel existence (under Saddam), a new Iraq is being born. While the enemies of freedom within and without Iraq try with all their might to strangle the infant Iraqi democracy in its cradle, Iraqis and those who want Free Iraq to succeed are valiantly making progress throughout the country."

Page 52: Cites a State Department report from October 2006, saying that an astonishing ninety-six percent of Iraqis surveyed in regions covering two-thirds of Iraq's eighteen provinces said they feel safe in their neighborhoods.

Page 68: "There is no antiwar movement in America...What the media call anti-war protests are actually pro-terrorist propaganda exercises organized by Marxist front groups whose leaders cut their teeth cheerleading the North Veitnamese communists to victory in the Sixties and Seventies, who spent their time in the Eighties aiding Marxist guerrillas in Central America and working with the Soviet Union on its nuclear freeze propaganda campaign and in the Nineties organizing anti-capitalism riots while propping up Cold War remnant leftist dictators like Fidel Castro, Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein...With rare exception the media has failed to inform the American public about the beliefs and activities of the dominant so-called antiwar groups."

Page 81: "America cannot affford to lose in Iraq -- neither can the Iraqi people...The American people need to be patient. Experts say counterinsurgencies typically take from five to eleven years to defeat. In addition to an insurgency, we are fighting al Queda terrorists and have to deal with interference from Iran, Syria and duplicitous allies in the Middle East...The best way to help is to join the military or work as a civilian for government agencies or contractors. If that is not possible for whatever reason, there are a multitude of ways Americans are volunteering and contributing...For example: care packages are being sent; donations are being made to buy things like helmet pads and Silly String...Learn a language...Participate in pro-troops/pro-mission rallies and counter-demonstrations of antiwar protests.
