I have read 2 articles by Rokke and saw him interviewed on TV, he is very compelling. But I can't see the reasoning of getting out of Iraq immediately even if everything he says is true. If nothing else, we should stay and assist in the cleanup.

This is getting off the original point. I believe the MSM should report on the entire picture of what is happening in Iraq at this time. They should report the bad as well as the good. So far about 90% has been coverage of the bad.

Most of our military and congressional people that have been to Iraq (the ones getting out of the green zone) have said that what is happening there is much better than what the MSM is reporting. I know Iraq is still dangerous, but the MSM should be going out into all areas with our troops and reporting the whole picture.

I'm glad you're aware of Rokke and his message.....I have no doubts the MSM is doing selectively reporting over there (as usual) but after what I've learned about DU, it'll make me sick seeing smiling Iraqi kids knowing there's a good chance many will die from radiation poisoning or seeing our young warriors living in an environment that has bred high rates of cancer, leukemia, and other debillitating non-combat related diseases among our vets.......it's a travesty.
