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.

The article I linked to does a very good job of laying out the situation in Iraq, and it is written by, of all people, a Democratic Congressman! And don't get me wrong, every soldier that pays the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan deserves our respect and prayers, but I really have to question the fact that a newbie has managed to post so many stories on casualties, almost NEVER posts to threads he doesn't start, and nothing else.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but this smells wrong to me.

Yep- good point. I actually posted that on FR (;-)

Absolutely.

I am whole-heartedly behind the war effort our military is undertaking in Iraq.

As for other posts, I am a big advocate of RKBA issues.

RKBA is actually my forte.

I am a member of GOA and JPFO
