Is there a problem with the US media in Iraq?...

Good post.

This is a tough fight, and we are once again up against an enemy who has no moral compass. Our kids continue to excel at every mission, and are undaunted in their task. If anyone has any doubts about this generation, they can erase them. 2006 will be a decisive year. We have the opportunity to do a battle handoff to the Iraqis for the lead in the counterinsurgency fight, and begin to reduce our combat presence. Concurrently, we must continue to coach and mentor the Iraqi Government as it continues its journey toward democracy. We will need to be here for awhile, but my assessment is that this is the make or break year.

I’m betting on our Soldiers and the Iraqi people.

Doubt and faithlessness will destroy us. Too many sheep think they know better than the sheep dogs.

Not enough terrorists left to take them all captive?

They can no longer give beanie babies to the kids, because Al Qaida has taken to placing explosives in them, giving them to kids, blowing their arms off or killing them, and blaming the Americans.

OMFG.

What a great update! I feel better already.

If the American public would listen to us that have been there more, there would not be nearly the misconceptions and misinformation that there is about things in Iraq. The worthless lamestream media is a extremely biased (and decidedly anti-republican and anti-military) and a totally unreliable souce of what is really going on overseas.

Consider yourself pinged.

Bastards!

No one party/sect has a majority in the newly elected Council of Representatives, so learning to compromise and put together alliances in the government will be key to success.

In the long run this will really help.

...‘update’ from a friend, written by a great American and Infantry officer, it represents his view of things in Iraq…a personal foxhole snapshot from someone “over there” for ten months. This is not an official report of the Army or the MNF-I, but I thought you might want to post it; it’s a very telling and inspiring story. But just between you and me and the reading audience, the American media is failing the American people—and terribly so. Is it just an accident or partisanship? I suspect books will be written on the coverage of this war as much as its conduct.

Meanwhile the American Army and the rest of our armed forces in this fight is the only thing standing between us and tyranny. One day the American people might understand this, no thanks to the American media of course.

The bastard Media..a foreshadowing of much darker & satanic things to come, IMO.

Mardi Gras In Iraq

[StarCMC]

BLUF: We are not, and have not been, on the verge of civil war. We have had an increase in killings by militia groups in the past five weeks, and that is not helping get the new government seated, but we (the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) and Coalition Forces) are far from losing control.

Hey Re-Tread ~ whaddya say to this?
