I search every major newspaper in the country. Not one of them carried this story which you can read on the Multi-National Force – Iraq website: http://www.mnf-iraq.com/Featured%20News/Aug/FN050803a.htm
Baghdad , Iraq - One year ago on August 27 the battle for Najaf ended.
A year ago the Najaf Teaching Hospital was closed. It had been looted and its medical equipment destroyed by the Sadr Militia. Now the hospital is open, seeing hundreds of patients per day, brought about by a close partnership of Iraqi doctors and a U.S. team of doctors, engineers, project managers, contractors, and Soldiers and U.S Army Corps of Engineers civilians. When finished, the hospital will house a new magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) scanner, have computed tomography ( CT) scan services, and have increased specialty surgical services including its first open heart surgical team. The hospital will employ 1,250 people, in an area where good jobs are hard to come by.
Yet they claim they don't hide stories and complain loudly that they can't hide stories when someone challenges them on why they even bother to publish the trash from Al-Jezzera the propaganda arm of AQ.
But NBC about three weekends ago had a gig on some run down hospital in Baghdad, that had nothing but a few doctors and nurses, off course the commie camera man focused on the poor downtrodden injured, laying on floors etc.. The images and associated scripted crap where to convey to the masses that there are no hospitals operating effeciently in Iraq. And the masses watching with little more knowledge in the pea brains then what channel to switch too short to watch some moron show, don't have a clue as to the literally thousands of brand new and reburnished medical complexes constructed throughout Iraq in the past two years. Some as mentioned here will be like walking into a typical American hospital.
No reponse required. Where on the same brain length.
