<p><a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/KalatStatue.jpg"><img src="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/KalatStatue.jpg" alt="" title="KalatStatue" width="576" height="382" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-632" /></a></p>
<p>The statue currently stands outside the Iraqi  palace. Now home to the 4th Infantry division. It will eventually be shipped home and put in the memorial museum in Fort  Hood, Texas.</p>
<p>The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named Kalat, who for years was forced by Saddam Hussein to make the many  hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad</p>
<p>Kalat was so grateful for the Americans liberation of his country, he melted 3 of the heads of the fallen Saddam and made the statue as a memorial to the American soldiers and their fallen warriors</p>
<p>Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.  </p>
<p>To the  left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.</p>
<p>Do you know why we don&#8217;t hear about this in the news?</p>
<p>Because it is heart warming and praise worthy..  </p>
<p>The media avoids it because it does not have the  shock effect.</p>
<p>But we can do something about it.  </p>
<p>We can pass this along to as many people as we can in honor</p>
<p>of all our  brave military who are making  a difference.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 10, 2009</p>
<p>THE DIRECTOR OF HOMELAND SECURITY, JANET NAPOLITANO HAS CAUTIONED US NOT TO SAY THAT RELIGION PLAYED A ROLE IN LAST WEEK’S ATTACK AT FT. HOOD. NEITHER SHOULD WE CALL IT “TERRORISM,” SHE SAID. ARMY CHIEF OF STAFF, GENERAL GEORGE CASEY, SAID SUCH SPECULATION “COULD POTENTIALLY HEIGHTEN A BACKLASH AGAINST SOME OF OUR MUSLIMS SOLDIERS.” NAPOLITANO ADDED THAT THE SUSPECT, MAJOR NIDAL MALIK-HASAN IS AN INDIVIDUAL “WHO DOES NOT REPRESENT THE MUSLIM FAITH.”</p>
<p>DO YOU THINK THESE LEADERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, OR DO THEY THINK THAT BY SAYING IT, THE THREAT AGAINST US WILL BE REDUCED AND THE MUSLIMS WHO HATE US WILL HATE US LESS?</p>
<p>THIS IS EXTREME SELF-DECEPTION.</p>
<p>READ MY NEWSPAPER COLUMN TODAY FOR MORE ON THIS, EITHER IN YOUR LOCAL PAPER OR AT MY WEB SITE CALTHOMAS.COM. WE ARE BEING INFILTRATED BY JIHADISTS WHO KNOW US BETTER THAN WE KNOW THEM…BETTER, EVEN, THAN WE KNOW OURSELVES. WAKE-UP AMERICA. THIS IS WAR, NOT AN INCONVENIENT CRIME WAVE. THE JIHADISTS ARE FIGHTING IT AS IF IT IS WAR. WHY AREN’T WE? I’M CAL THOMAS IN WASHINGTON.</p>

<p>When our United States Warriors, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, National Guard and others are being wounded and are dying fighting Islamic Extremists  to keep out FREEDOM and the FREEDOM of others around the world, then it is A WAR ON TERROR! We are still fighting TERRORISTS  and we will be until all of the TERRORISTS are EXTERMINATED!</p>
<p>Make no mistake about it. This is still a WAR ON TERROR!</p>
