This is SOP for the MSM. While we get irritated at how they report the conditions in Iraq, we do have to keep in mind that this is the same formula they use here. Front page of most newspapers has nothing but murder, rape, robbery, etc. And all that is "local" news.

I do wish they would run the "horrific" conditions in Iraq right next to the "6 dead in Seattle".

Hmmm?? Maybe Rummy did test his theory .. but Bush had to agree with it, so why should Rummy get the boot for doing what the President ask him to do ..?? That doesn't make any sense.

And .. 2400 deaths in 3 years - as compared to 25,000 drownings a year. We're talking a major improvement in warfare. Yes, it may have taken longer to do it this way, but more civilians survived .. and with fewer civilian casualties - we have made better progress sooner.

And .. I believe Iraq has proven Rummy's theory.

One thing you might help folks remember. There is the Pentagonchannel.com.

Give it a look and tell me what you think.

We sure need something to compete with the MSM.

Thanks, had never heard of that before. There is always good and positive information here from family of soldiers and FReepers on the ground.

Now, suggestions on the local scene? ;)
