[shield]

This never gets told...by the dinosaurs.

A FR posting is a place many many many get the news. Thanks for the posting.

[Irish Eyes]

Thanks for the post. This is a GOOD NEWS bump.

[Marine_Uncle]

Thanks for the post. The L/MSM could have been filling their wolrd news reports with literally thousands of good things concerning the Iraqi SASO period. As least we have the resources to go to in order to see the whole operation as it has unfolded in the past year and a half or so.

[mdittmar]

It's criminal how the old media has covered the events in Iraq.

They don't just not report good news,they distort the news they do report,endangering our Military men and women,as well as Iraqi civilians.

It will get worse,thank God we have the New Media now.

[polymuser]

Fabulous site! Thanks. Will e-mail the link to my contacts. Needs to be spread widely!

[Marine_Uncle]

"They don't just not report good news,they distort the news they do report,endangering our Military men and women,as well as Iraqi civilians."

Perhaps not so much endangering them as breaking their hearts that Americans are not behind them. Hopefully the recent rebuttals by the POTUS and his planned series of upcoming talks shall defuse some of the demorats and L/MSM steam. Surely our officer corps must be telling our people the deal. And surely many enlist folk are smart enough to figure it out on their own.
At least they know this POTUS is not going to let them down.
