8 Unapologetically Pro-Coalition News Links and Articles

Osama bin Laden said before September 11, 2001 that Americans have become soft and surrender prone. Plainly, this is true of some Americans; but I don't think of most.

Please pass this on. An author honoring our troops by putting their sacrifices in perspective and telling the truth about their successes. Outstanding.

If you want on or off my pro-Coalition/anti-wanker ping list, just ping.

There are basically two groups who desperately want as many American military deaths and injuries as possible in Iraq and Afghanistan.

One - militant Islamics.

Two - Democrats/Liberals/Liberal media (The second is basically one group).

In early August, for instance, in an American sweep north of Baghdad, while eight Americans were being killed, more than 300 Fedayeen who engaged them died in combat.

Hmm. Wonder why this number hasn't been mentioned in the mainstream press? I'm actually surprised FOX hasn't put out this number.

"Since March thousands of terrorists from around the world have flocked to Iraq to wreak death on Americans. They are still pouring in, drawn like moths to flame."

Nice line.

50 murders a day in America, let's add in the accidental deaths. What would the number be then? I was curious what the accidental death rate is for the military when they are at home in a military base.

"So they started totaling all military deaths in Iraq, including those from accidents, which happen in military life every day, everywhere. ..."

It would be interesting for someone, for comparisons' sake, to research the total deaths that occurred during the 12-year "containment" of Saddam. I recall quite a few getting killed in Kuwait, some from hostile fire last November. I'll bet the total is well over 100.

Our troops need to know that we understand this. I'm writing to a few of them, and they desperately want us to understand that they know what they're there for, they know that what they are doing is to protect us, and the only thing they fear is that we won't understand that.

Every terrorist who rushes to Baghdad to kill Americans is one less who is attacking Americans at home. The American strategy is to fight them in Iraq, and other places outside the U.S., rather than to sit and wait for them to come to harm us in New York, Washington, or Los Angeles.

AMEN!! I love Michael Novak!

The drumbeat regularity of one death every two days hurts even more.

I have been noticing this. I was telling Mr. StarCMC a couple of days ago that what bothers me about the constant reporting is that they are not doing it to honor the heroes, but it's almost as it they are using the deaths of these brave men as a battering ram to further their purposes. Anyone else notice that?

This article seems very fair and balanced concerning the numbers in Iraq... It also reminds us that someone's son or daughter is behind those numbers. Politician's typically like to fight wars with other people's money and other people's children... Let us remember to keep the pressure on the politicians to remember that we want them home as soon as the job is done...

The press doesn't care about the true story, they care about what gets ratings. Stating the truth about what's happened "since President Bush declared an end to major combat operations" is not in their best interest. If ABC sensationalizes the numbers and NBC doesn't, then Mr. Mumbles (aka: Tom Brokaw) loses ratings.

There are no more journalists out there, only talking heads and the producers behind the cameras or in the news room who determine the slant. Novak and others like him make up a small minority that we can't afford to ignore. All the more reason for FR!!

[windchime]

Geraldo is on Hannity & Colmes saying how well things are going in Iraq. He says the media is wrong.....he saw this with his own eyes. Doesn't care about the politics of it and doesn't buy into a conspiracy theory, but it is absolutely inaccurate not to give credit where credit is due.

The candidates who desperately need this hardcore vote in the upcoming Democratic primaries fix on bad news in Iraq like vultures.

...the reward they are being offered for killing one American has had to be raised from $300 to $5,000.

I wonder where that money is coming from. I wonder specifically whether some money might be coming Left Wing sources who don't care anything about Muslims, but who do want to wrest the Presidency away from a Republican, and put it in the hands of a Democrat/Socialist.

[Jumper]

Democrats have killed one another in low rent neighborhoods, over drugs and petty crime, than Iraqi's and hostile Arabs have of American Soldiers. Therein lies the problem for the democrats, e.g., that while they protest and rant at the political level, they are still uncivilized and unrepentant, unresponsible and unable to be held accountable.
