Iraq as Roach Motel, if only more understood ...
Our family has commented on news coverage of Iraq. From the news we know 1. Our troops are over there 2. They are getting shot at.
We get no information about what they are doing or why.
I blame the lazy media for only telling half the story.
US media is not "lazy", rather deliberate in their bias.
Not laziness, would that it were so.
No, this is an agenda of demoralization, both of our troops and the population on the home front. It is designed to bring about the sort of loss the media fostered in Vietnam where, incidentally, our troops had not lost a major engagement with the enemy, either.
It is far, far more insidious than laziness, more like treason. (giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war).
See, that's the debate I have with myself about the media. Are they just lazy or are they evil? I've come to a decision: They are both.
" the lazy media" . . Actually the media wasn't lazy in their rabid and frenetic determination to get liberals in control in Washington. Deaths and atrocities have been happening in Iraq since the election (the results of which pleased Al Qaeda no end), and they will be highly unlikely to stop until Nancy's bunch keeps its campaign promises to get our troops out of Iraq. - It will be interesting to see whether or not the news media will continue heralding every death and the mounting numbers once Nancy ascends her throne, or even before. It will also be interesting to note whether or not Terrorists, Inc. will slack off on the killing when the Democrats succeed in starting "redeployment" of the troops (pulling out).
Well, generally speaking they are doing fine, But for the guys on patrol, it gets reall hairy. My son was telling me about a friend of his who lost a leg. This woman blew herself up, killed a bunch of people, and cost my son's friend his leg above the knee. He is in good spirits and is stying in the Army. Amazing that THESE colors Don't run. I wish I could say the same about the electorate, but the situation is both better and worse than it is portrayed.
