Hey, how do you know maybe it was supposed to be “fraught” and “sin trance” or maybe “caught” and “in France?’ You never know...

If you want to know what’s going on in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East in general, check out Michael Yon, Bill Roggio and Michael Fumento.
They are bloggers and embeds who shoot straight and have no discernable political agenda, except that they want us to win. Yon is also great for news about Lebanon.
Forget about the MSM. They don’t have a clue.
I know what is going on in the Middle East I don’t need bloggers to tell me.
I was discussing who was doing a good job telling the US public what is happening in Iraq.
yes, it was quite impartial to show footage of America’s bravest being sniped by the enemy./s
Please, give me a break. If CNN had a profit driven agenda, they would be more like FOX.
this is an occupation while setting up a new government.
i guess people don't like the word and think 'war' spins better or something. seriously, there is a massive difference between the two. hell, iraq now is more like parts of chicago or LA... we are just trying to make it better and more stable.
You’re right, but I prefer “reconstruction.”
Of course, that word has lots of pesky syllables. It’s easier for the Drive-By types to say “war.”
Was it newsworthy to show how enemy snipers are operating? Yes, it was. I had no problems with them showing the video.
My biggest complaints against CNNs war coverage over the past four years was on their coverage of Abu Grieb, the shooting of the insurgent in the mosque in Fallujah, and Hadetha.
Make no mistake, because our enemies don’t, this is a war, an asymmetrical war, but a war no less.
so... are we at ‘war’ in newark, nj? compton? detroit? these areas have loads of shootings and various lawlessness. they may not be using IEDs, but they aren’t combating tanks. in some cases, they are just pulling people from their vehicles and dragging them through the streets... seems pretty similar to iraq
Arab loyalties always go to the most powerful side. Now that our men are actually weeding out the terrorists and sticking around to keep them out, this isn’t exactly suprising.
Why?”
Because the bad guys are worried sick that tough guy Barack Hussain Obama will REALLY come down on them when he becomes the Commander in Chief. ha ha ha.
“Arab loyalties always go to the most powerful side. Now that our men are actually weeding out the terrorists and sticking around to keep them out, this isn’t exactly suprising.”
This concerns me too but being an eternal optimist I think that working side by side with actual American soldiers might show these Arabs there is a better way than what they have been doing for the last 1400 years.
We really want to give them something better, I hope they can see that and choose what is better for themselves. If they can be honest and do that, we win, big time.
The Surge is Working...Bigtime.
At this rate the DNC will start fighting Al Queda??
