That's one thing Mike mentioned last night...he was trying to cheer ME up about all this...he thinks Bush is holding all the cards(I hope he's right)......one other thing he told me was that his troops and other GI's he's talked to from different units can't understand why the media isn't reporting all the good things they are doing...he was talking with a captain in the 3rd ID who said that most Iraqi's support them overwhelmingly...thanking them, crying in gratitude, grabbing and shaking and kissing their hands.....where are these stories?

I wish military people could speak their minds! This President is getting a raw deal. He loves the military and he loves every single man and woman in it. What is being done by the RATS is disgusting and somehow I hope they pay dearly for it.

The stories are at Air Force News Service for the most part! Other than that I have seen very few positive stories.

The media is doing a disservice to the men and women who are serving this Country in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as other places aroung the World. It is time we told the media what we think of their despicable behavior!

This angers me to no end. It seems the media speaks for all of Iraq, from the Iraqi's national mood to the attacks on US troops, from within a limited radius around Baghdad. What is going on in Iraq right now is a fight for the hearts and souls of the Iraqi people, for their belief in their own ability to self govern in some sort of democratic fashion. What does the media do, aid the detractors with an endless stream of negativity and disillusionment. That is not journalism, it's propaganda.
