Do you post ANYTHING other than stories of the killed or injured in Iraq since you joined last month?

How many threads have you started on the "quagmire"? 40? 50?

Read this article:

Media's Dark Cloud a Danger (Falsely bleak reports reduce our chances of success in Iraq)

"These are goals worthy of a fight, of sacrifice, of more lives lost now to save thousands, perhaps tens or hundreds of thousands in the future. In Mosul last Monday, a colonel in the 101st Airborne put it to me quite simply: "Sir, this is worth doing." No one I spoke with said anything different. And I spoke with all ranks.

But there will be more Blumbergs killed in action, many more. So it is worth doing only if we have a reasonable chance of success. And we do, but I'm afraid the news media are hurting our chances. They are dwelling upon the mistakes, the ambushes, the soldiers killed, the wounded, the Blumbergs. Fair enough. But it is not balancing this bad news with "the rest of the story," the progress made daily, the good news. The falsely bleak picture weakens our national resolve, discourages Iraqi cooperation and emboldens our enemy.

I question your motives.

I question your motives

Thanks. I was going to blast that poster as well.

If you take a look at the top Bloomberg stories today, the #1 story is the bomb blast that killed 1 Iraqi... Even when there are no U.S. casualties, the media plays up any and every (relative) bump in the road... Where are the stories on the various successes? They are so few and far in between, unfortunately.
