Pollack and O'Hanlon returned from eight days of meetings with US generals, diplomats and Iraqis saying they were more hopeful than they had expected, seeing signs of market improvement.

"I dismiss it at as rhetoric," said US Representative John Murtha.
"I don't know where they were staying. I don't know what they saw. But I know this: that it's not getting better," Murtha said on CNN television.
PHOTOS TOO GRAPHIC FOR ABC, CBS, CNN AND NBC


Pictures From Iraq That Are Too Shocking & Graphic for The Mainstream Media.






"It's over-optimist. It's an illusion," the Pennsylvania lawmaker continued.

Is there any doubt Murtha has lost whatever little mind he had? Who’s paying this bozo I wonder?

Through some teary eyes, I trully wonder where the child in the last photo will be in 20 years?
I pray, dear God, that they have been reached. That they know what “good” is. That they finally see.

Please use current photos. The pics you include go back to 2003. There are plenty of current pictures that show the good too.

"....oh it just boils my blood...."
What boils MY blood is that this stinking traitorous charlatan is even allowed to get on a national news outlet w/o being made to defend his shamelessly false accusations of US Marines, one of whom is from his own district!
The pig is lower than whale sh!t.

Oh I didn’t see the date on the pics.....wasn’t really looking for nitpicking...but you’re right, I’ll bet there are alot of positive pictures recently. Too bad we will never see them in main stream publications.

The MSM is holding this secret even better than they shielded the ending from the Harry Potter book series.

Who is this John Murtha? Is he an American? Oh, he isn’t? He’s just a Democrat Representative? Okay.
Keep it up, John. You haven’t lost all of supporters yet.

I never thought of it like that. I am sure they have thousands of positive pics from Iraq ~ just holding them without dates.
Then, if a pullout starts or a Democrat wins the white house, they can release all the positive news.....yeah, I can see NYTimes doing that.

Yep. Just link to any of
Michael Yon's dispatches.
I also believe that Michael Yon is THE reason why the NYT had to take notice. The NYT was also present during Operation Arrowhead Ripper and saw the tremendous successes and very few civilian casualties with their own eyes.

It was before my time.........but was there a “MURTHA” in US government during WWII? I mean I am sure there were senators that didn’t care for the war, but were there outright traitors that gave comfort to the enemy in congress back then?

No worries. Probably the best source for pics would be some of the milbloggers that are in theater now. The only reason I commented is because I’ve seen these same photos used several times over the years, and when I was over there from 03-04, none of us were in our chem suits like the guys praying.
Here is a link to some of the current sites:
