But "there is no civil war in Iraq," Captain Bill Roberts, spokesman for Multi-National Force Iraq, told me Friday. "The targeting of innocent civilians by terrorists is being done to incite sectarian violence, create fear and is a vain attempt to derail democracy."
The Iraqi people know this, he says. They are fed up with insurgents who are killing women and children in order to influence perception and sway public opinion, worldwide. Consequently, the Iraqi people are increasingly providing solid information about the whereabouts and activities of terrorists throughout the country, even going so far as leading soldiers and police directly to hideouts and weapons caches. That was one of the primary reasons Swarmer, for instance, was so successful.
"Other progress in Iraq seems to be overlooked far too often and the expectations seem occasionally unrealistic," says Roberts. "Three years ago Iraqis had no voice in their government or their nation’s future."
Unfortunately, few in either the mainstream or the alternative press seem to want to talk about progress in Iraq. Instead, they prefer to be dismissive of progress or anything else that runs counter to their agenda – and that's propaganda in its own right.
The media lies are just that....LIES.
It doesn't matter what the subject is; war (by a Republican administration), gun control, taxes, abortion, or "fill in the blank", the MSM will, in addition to out-right LIES, use half-truths,distortions, and "skillful editing" to achieve their goals, further their agenda, and promote the politicians THEY wish to see elected.
And that m'dear is the TRUTH.
I don't even let it get to me anymore. We just have to keep on keepin' on.
I have to make this a "drive-by" posting. Sorry 8-(
However, I got your FReepmail. Thanks. I'll be in touch.
