Subject:? Why aren't we told this?

How Could? We Know? I didn't know! You didn't know! How could we? know?

Did you know? that 47 countries' have reestablished their embassies? in Iraq? ?

Did you? know that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi? people ?

Did you? know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under? rehabilitation, 263 new schools are now under construction and 38 new? schools have been completed in Iraq? ?

Did you? know that Iraq 's higher educational? structure consists of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and? 4 research centers, all currently? operating?

Did you? know that 25 Iraq? students departed for the United State s in January 2005 for the? re-established Fulbright program ?

Did you know? that the Iraqi Navy is operational ? They have 5 - 100-foot patrol? craft, 34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry? regiment.

Did you? know that Iraq 's Air Force consists of? three operational squadrons, which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3? US C-130 transport aircraft (under Iraqi operational control)? which operate day and night, and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters? and 4 Bell Jet Rangers ?

Did you know? that Iraq has a counter-terrorist? unit and a Commando Battalion?

Did you? know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and? equipped police officers?

Did you? know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq? that produce over 3500 new officers each 8? weeks?

Did you? know there are more than 1100 building projects going on? in Iraq ? They include 364? schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83 railroad stations, 22? oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69 electrical facilities.

Did you? know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a televised debate recently? OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW! WHY DIDN'T WE? KNOW? YOUR NEWS MEDIA REFUSES TO TELL US! Instead of reflecting our? love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu? Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.? Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq? serves three two major purposes of the liberal news? media:

1.? It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the? United States thus? minimizing consequent? ? support,? and:

2.? It is intended to discourage American citizens and erode their support for the war.

3.? It is intended to help the Democratic Party gain more power in the next elections.

---- All? the above facts are verifiable on the Department of Defense web site." _http://www.defenselink.mil/_ (http://www.defenselink.mil/)

Pass it? on! Give it wide? dissemination.

The MSM does not report news that benefits conservatives.

“Why aren’t we told this???”

Because Vladimer Putin runs our country. Who did you think ran it - George Bush?

“why aren’t we told this?”

because the fifth column is active in the United States of America and because the fifth column is believed to be the ultimate, intellectual, brilliant, all-knowing, greatest, smartest group of people in the entire world.

http://www.usaid.gov/iraq/

Here is a URL that will take you to the US Agency for International Develoment-one of the lead agencies for foreign aid projects (non-military).

Once there, click on the updates on the lower right-you will find detailed summaries of the projects we have done, who got paid what for the work etc.

The media/left does not care about freedom, other than to limit it and to achieve the lowest common denominator in terms human freedom. That is the key reason the US is so hated around the world-even though our personal freedoms are limited, as a nation we are the most free and most self-determined ever. If you doubt that there is a great conspiracy a foot, well, you will always wonder why the light does not penetrate the darkness.

It is called good vs evil. Always has been.

God Bless.

I liked the ?’s.... Besides poster is dead on. We are never told anything good about Iraq because the media are intent on America electing a Liberal.

You left one out. All of these changes are because of the influence and work of the lovely and talented Allegra.

Hey if all of the bad stuff W's fault why can't the good stuff be Allegra's "fault".

Because the Bush White House is the most inept disseminator of such news around?

Did you know that millions of Americans who are opposed to socialism in America are being heavily taxed to pay for this massive socialist project in a foreign country?

This Administration has been the worst in my 64-year old history in using PR to their advantage.

So true. Especially during the second term, their PR has become absolutely pathetic. There are many ways to get around a media committed to oppose you. They did a good job for about three years. 2004 was so-so, and 2005-2008 have been just terrible.

I don't get it, because facts like this are just not that hard to get out given today's internet and alternative media. Reagan did a great job of this w/o the benefit of today's more diverse media.
