A "Citizens Report on Iraq"
By Michelle Malkin   ·   January 30, 2007 11:51 AM

Just released. Compiled as a response to the Iraq Study Group. Here's the 86-page PDF. From the press release:

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...

Which means you won't read about it on the front page of the NYTimes or see the authors in photo spreads in Vanity Fair...

Hopefully Hugh Hewitt will pick it up, but I noticed he no longer has a link to FR. Did we piss him off? Doug, was it you?

Certainly a report that the libs and defeatists will not acknowledge.
Like one comment said in essence, too many talking heads analyzing everything too much and breaking it down for the enemy.

Bad reporters giving troop positions and movements are not helpful either.

Here's something that the Presstitutes won't print/broadcast.

Great report! Thought you might be interested in reading this old Newshour with Richard Butler from 1997. He talks about the missing fermenters and 200 tons of missing VX!

Here is the link: (just disregard if you have seen it)

Again, thanks for all you do!!

I just read it, it is amazing the deception and lies of Saddam regime. In fact, I was reading today one of the documents that I downloaded before the Iraqi documents website was shut down and it shows how the Iraqis removed many cameras and other UN monitoring equipments from many sites and companies that were manufacturing WMD in the past. According to this document the removal of the UN monitoring equipments occurred from 1999- December 2001 when no UN weapon inspectors were present before Saddam kicked them out of Iraq in December 1998.

Well, he played cat and mouse for years and according to this interview with Butler, the cameras were taken out in 1997 or earlier.

What is amazing to me is that the media and the dems seem to have forgotten it all, or at least what went on for the entire time Clinton was in office!!

Also amazing is that after all of these years..there is not ONE accurate and complete picture or report from the IAEA, the UN and Unmovic of exactly what he had and when!!

Everything put out by the UN 'watchdogs' and the 'final' Kay Report is predicated on the last report ad nauseam and reads like some kind of rubics cube!

I admire you for wading through it all with such diligence.

Holy moly, reading that got me so darn pissed off. Just all of it at once makes me want to go out to an anti-war rally and counter-rally with american flags and show them a piece of my mind.

This is such a good report, it does a great service, and I appreciate the people who made it happen.
