Great post...You gotta hand it the warriors over there and the ones coming home like these and telling it like it is, their the greatest.
This has been going on since shortly after the invasion itself ended. The MSM were not listening then and their not listening now. And the worst thing is, the Dems keep parroting the media for their own political gain.

I'm reminded of that recent DU thread, where the returning Marine got nuked because the things he told them didn't jive with the MSM.
They also accused the Marine of cowardice, for not risking court-martial by telling "the truth".
It was surreal to read it.

We used to call it yellow journalism. The msm wants to make things look bad, not good - the question is, what will they gain?
I wonder if a dem gets in the whitehouse and things are still brewing in Iraq if the coverage will change?

The more the MSM slime liars convince the American public we are in a quagmire. The Bush will appear to have done the impossibile when this is over.

Why is the MSM conducting psy-ops against our citizens?

The more troops that speak out on these matters, the better. The Dems and the dinosaur media no longer control information technology and the word is slowly getting out. Thank God for the character of our troops.........and yes, they are getting it done, and eventually it will be known by a lot more people than know now.

The troops have done a remarkable job to be sure!! But their job is only one of several that has to be done if success as it is now being defined is to occur.
Military success has been achieved and long ago!
Our troops cannot do part of the overall task of what is now being defined as "success" however. That component will necessarily have to stem from Iraqis and their government.
While we have influence, we don't "control" the outcome there by any stretch. That's the reality of the situation.

Has there ever been another war so mis-reported as a loss by a victorious nation?

"Johannes cited the example of a minor battle that lasted only 30 minutes but was reported as a major conflict that caused high coalition casualties. The general who was involved in the fighting later said that he and his forces had been victorious on the ground, but the terrorists "had won it on CNN." "TET SYNDROME", again.
