I wish you could help me with one of my friends who had been convinced the media was right all along. Until we got Zarqawi. Then I think his bell went off and he started thinking what if?
As in what if all the media lies about Iraq being a failure, a quagmire were wrong?
And what if the strategy to rebuild a nation's military, government and institutions free of Baathists actually works?
Thank you and all of your fellow Americans who serve our nation and work so hard to protect us from the evil that would turn on our shores in a heartbeat if it could.
During are first engagements in the WOT - I consider Iraq and Afghanistan engagements in the same war - I remember how the media, right out of the box, declared in both cases the military was in a quagmire. Then, while still wringing their hands about Afghanistan, we took over the country. Then, in the middle of wringing their hands concerning Iraq, the statue was pulled down and we were in Baghdad. I wondered at the time who would see this on the news and have the light bulb go off, that the media is lying to us. Sometimes I despair that not many do. Listening to Hannity's Man On The Street, I get the feeling that NYC could go up in a mushroom cloud and survivors would have no idea what happened or why. Yet, maybe many people are seeing the lying media for what it is and quietly making their voices known at the polls.
