"I have seen a lot of good men die in this country and it pains me to see that the American people do not support us here.

YES WE DO! Don't let the lib media get you down, the majority of Americans support this mission, no doubt about it.IMHO

According to a columnist from the New York Post, only a handful of reporters came to
view a Pentagon presentation of videos documenting the horror of Saddam's torture chambers.


Not a surpise.
Saddam's role model is Stalin.
And the American press/media was apoplectic when the term "evil" was used to
described the system that Stalin sacrificed millions of people to create.

Keep in mind here that the objective is to elect a new president, not win a war. If the omission of a few events from the news presents a bleak picture, assuring that the American people will become disallusioned with whats going on in Iraq, then we must make the sacrifice. Integrity is only valuable when it supports the objective. When there's conflict between the truth and something supportive of that objective......Sorry, I just threw up. My taste for sarcasm is fading over the years.

Freedom of the press is a high ideal,but, license for reporters is something else again. When major newspapers and networks can publish outright, baldfaced lies, there is a problem of major porportions at hand. We have allowed the creation of a frankenstein and it has to be dismantled. Unfortunatley the only way for that to happen is for the general publc to educate themselves as to how they are being used, this will require effort. Effort requires getting up from the couch/recliner and getting in motion. The public is motion/effort averse. Where to now?

Small groups of highly motivated activists have successfully exerted disproportional influence on the body politic before. The traditional consumers of the main stream media's "product"* need to be confronted constantly, incessantly, with its inaccuracies, lies and biases until either the product improves or the market dies off.

*Bovine by-product

I hope Staff Sgt. Mitchell Brown gets an opportunity to peruse this site. He'll realize many aren't buying into all the doom and gloom.

Aloha, Ronnie: I couldn't agree more. But when he showed the photos first - that sealed it for me. What a GD traitor! He apparrently is a US citizen and does this crap? I first got a virus, apparently, after my first anti-Rather email I sent to him. No kidding. Check others here too with the same thing done to them.

No Joke!
