If you haven’t seen the moving tributes to America and Great Britain that are being run by the Iraqi Kurds, do it now. Here is a transcript from the first one, but it does not do justice to the video images.

U.S. SPOT # 1 “THANK YOU”
VO NARRATOR:
Saddam’s goal was to bury every living Kurd…
He failed.

KURD CITIZENS:
“Thank you.”
“Thank you, America.”
“Thank you.”

VO NARRATOR:
The Kurds of Iraqi Kurdistan just want to say ‘thank you’…
for helping us win our freedom.

KURD CITIZENS:
“Thank you for democracy.”
“Thank you, America.”

KURDISH HERO GIRL:
“Thank you.”

Gateway Pundit adds the following:

Starting Wednesday, a major national television ad campaign will begin that features Iraqi Kurds thanking the United States for liberating them from Saddam Hussein.

This is the message that has not been reported by the old-line media: the people of Iraq are happy that Saddam is gone and they want to say “Thank You” to America.

The Kurdish region of Iraq is in the northern portion of that nation. Iraqi Kurdistan has been operating with a democracy for more than 10 years (their safety provided by 10-years of air cover by U.S. and British jets in the “No Fly Zone” in Iraq).

Please - go watch these ads. The first one, “Thank You America” is the ad you will be seeing beginning on the Fox News Channel (running nationwide). And make sure you show this to everyone you know. Each time I’ve seen this ad I’ve been nearly brought to tears, seeing these people survive the murderous regime of Saddam Hussein and showing such warm and sincere appreciation for the United States.
