A new report on Iraq was released today that covers many subjects not touched on by the Iraq Study Group. Titled Citizens Report on Iraq: Attainable Victory vs. the Propaganda of Defeat, the report was conceived, researched and authored by independent citizens with experience in Iraq who are concerned that the American people and politicians are ill-informed about the situation in Iraq.
The 86-page report is available for download at the Free Republic website:
http://www.freerepublic.com/CitizensReportonIraq.pdf
In the Citizens Report on Iraq, readers will learn that progress is being made in Iraq; there are large areas of Iraq that are safe and prospering; that the enemy is being killed and wounded in astounding proportion to American casualties; that the reporting on Iraq by the dominant media is universally despised as inaccurate and misleading by those fighting for Free Iraq -- Americans and Iraqis alike; that the so-called antiwar movement, including the organizers of this past weekend's protest in Washington, is led by terrorist supporting Marxists as part of a global alliance seeking America's defeat in the Global War on Terror and that a prominent White House correspondent has allied herself with one of these groups.
The report includes frank interviews with dozens of Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans, their families and several Gold Star parents. Those who think their support for President Bush and victory in Iraq has waned will be sorely disappointed.
The report also includes an overview of captured Saddam Hussein eraIraqi government documents that demonstrate Saddam's commitment to international terrorism and research in to Weapons of Mass Destruction, including nuclear weapons.
Contributors include a history professor, an American contractor who has spent the past three years in Iraq, an Iraqi living in Baghdad, and numerous soldiers who spoke frankly on condition of anonymity.
The information in the report was gathered from original research andinterviews, publicly available government reports, blog entries, news articles and transcripts.
Ain't that the truth.
Thanks to all those who had a hand in putting this together.
No problem :)
Just WOW! An excellent idea. Thank you for the ping. I'll read it when I'm able.
How good of you to distribute it and to so many! : )
Ping~
YES...That would be a GREAT idea and VERY helpful to the cause.
If everyone would send it to their two Senators and one Representative, we may see some action! You could also throw in an extra copy for the President. If they get enough of them.....
Bless you and thank you very much!
Thank you...very nice presentation.
Thanks for posting this. This is GREAT ! I will post a short piece on my blog about and with a link to the report. I will also talk about this on my talk show (Talk Show America) as well. This morning at 10 AM EST.

I wish I could cut and paste some of the Report here. I keep coming across passages which MUST be told and widely spread.
Change the leading and self-defeating (if the goal is to reach beyond the choir) "middle finger of defiance" to something-like "informed, earnest and hard-hitting rebuttal".
I agree. I think it may be a turn off, especially to any liberal who might happen upon the truth.
I think I'll print the report but leave out that page. There are people I want to send it to. I don't want them to close their mind to the message as soon as they read that.
I am so happy to have something like this in hand.

It is sad that we are more concerned with turning off any liberal than we are about getting the truth out.
I am highly offended, outraged actually, everytime I see or hear the libs. They simply do not care what I think or feel. Luckily, the feeling is mutual. It is time to fight back.
Sorry, but IMO some of my target audience are liberals. I don't want them to immediately get defensive on the first couple of pages and not get to the truth of the matter.
If I'm only showing this material to conservatives who feel as we do, then I feel we're only preaching to the choir.
I'll take the meat of this report and share it, hoping it will spread the truth.
Pinging Gracie to some valuable information.
