Wow! I just read through this thread and I am so glad to know he's coming home safely.

None of my fellow Americans said this so I will. I apologize to Phot and the other lads. I'm sorry my president told all those lies to Blair and the rest of us. You know, the lies that landed Phot and the other lads in harm's way. I'm relieved that our Mudcat is coming home and sorry for the lads who cannot come home. I am especially sorry about those lads who came home in a box.

By the way, my nephew is over there now, a USA army grunt in Baghdad. So is his father, my ex-brother-in-law. My apology does not extend to them. They believe the propaganda.
