Well I just took what the corporal said to be true, since I have heard many ofter similiar stories from mil sites, and from San Diego News etc., for past six months or so.
I simply wanted to share what I read. Do understand that there are at most, twenty cities/towns in Iraq that the news broadcasts bad news from. Funny they don't bring any good news from the other 800-900 cities and towns of Iraq.
You only see the bad stuff that happens in a few key cities.
Yes I fully understand many towns/hamlets are not worth having insurgents do their work in. But I can assure you MSM does not present anywhere a balanced picture of what is going on over there. Think for a minute. Iraq for the first time has a government in place that was actually formed by a democratic process for most of those members.
That is people where voted in by free choice of the vote.
Not by cohortion. First time since Iraq became Iraq that this has actually happened. We have the majority of Shite Clerics lead by Sistaini actually demanding full elections
by democratic process. This has never happend in Iraq.
MSM cannot tell the American people this stuff, all they can do is continue to make it look like all is lost.
EXACTLY WHAT BIG JOHN KERRY AND HIS COMMIE BUDDIES DID FOR NAM. Once again the MSM is doing exactly what they did in the sixties. Do remember JFK and his affiliations with a known communistic group who lead America into defeat....not by the Military.........we would have won the war, but by the liberal politicians with alternative agendas and the use of the MSM to carry it out. Be careful friend not to get lost in between the trees as to what appears to be and what actually is happening over there and in Afganistan.
Of course I respect your right to your comments and I harbor no resentment whatsover. If this Iraqi problem does not end to our liking, it will not be because of the lack of leadershiop by GWB and our military. It will because of the scum bag now after supporting the war and saying one with a clear picture of what Saddam Hussein..... and not
voting to take him out and establish a democratic state in Iraq should be running for president, NOW says the war is lost, everything is wrong.......look we lost 1000 men....
the insurgents are killing innocent Iraqis..........
We must stay the course or really suffer in the long run,
while France, Germany, and other snicker and laught at us,
and then in the future go back in there and support some ill defined new dictatorship and make billions on selling their oil, and selling them new weapon systems to do again what Saddam did.
