He has been writing articles about his experience, but I have yet to see them appear in the mainstream press.

I remember seeing him on FoxNews a while back, talking about the current conditions in Iraq, he said the portrayal by the mainstream media is totally false, things are a whole lot better. One of the reasons things weren't that great at the beginning, right after the war, was not becaue of the war, but because things were neglected during Saddam.

I was shocked at the response. `We don’t need to do that. We know what they want.` was the usual reply before a minder stepped up to check who I was.

Typical liberal.

"What I was not prepared for was the sheer terror they felt at speaking out."

"We have suffered long enough. We may lose our lives but some of us will survive and for our children's sake please,, please end our misery."

"we want the war. It is the only way to escape our hell. Please tell them to hurry."

Though it is cause for great rejoicing among Americans and Iraqis, and though Americans wish the Iraqi people well and are eager to help them, their liberation was not the main reason that Americans overthrew Saddam.

The main reason was to prevent him from using his power to enable America's enemies to bring to America the nightmare that gripped Iraq.

Saddam's Iraq was a safe harbor and means of support for the nebulous network of international terrorists, including Al Qaida, that attacked the United States on September 11, 2001, and have since spread terror throughout the world.

Do not expect your experiences to receive widespread coverage by the American Propaganda Machine (also known as The Mainstream Press). It conflicts with its agenda. In fact, truth itself conflicts with its agenda.

Very moving article. What is it gonna take to bring down the liberal media? What is it gonna take for the truth to be heard in this, the land of "liberty?" They have a hammerlock on our culture and won't let go. If anyone so much as offers an opposing voice, they scream for their heads. They are full of lies and venom while they turn a blind eye to the truth in all matters. They are a plague; a pestilence of biblical proportion and they seemingly thrive on a diet of toxic waste. The only weapon they cannot resist is truth, so they turn a blind eye and pretend it does not exist. Every grain of truth they ensnare in a web of deception and hold it up for all to see as they herald themselves as the purveyors of all that the people have a right to know, then pat themselves on the back for shaping what the people think they know. How do we rid ourselves of this blight; this immovable obstacle to truth and ultimately, to freedom itself? There has to be a way.
