Saying unguarded cities and towns are far more dangerous than they’ve been described in the American media, the students peppered Ritter with questions about whether he would pull U.S. troops out if it meant more Iraqi civilians would get killed.

I thought the media made Iraq appear more dangerous and unstable than it really is.

“I thought the media made Iraq appear more dangerous and unstable than it really is.”

The media makes look like the only trouble in Iraq is where U.S. troops are stationed, guarding the Iraqi’s.

They act like the rest of the country is Disney World.

It does because of its tactic of only showing bad news. The media rarely talks about the various levels of progress being made, so Iraq comes off looking hopeless and more of a disaster than it really is.

That being said, I LOVE that these kids did this and highly encourage them to visit Reid, Pelosi and all of that vermin.

'Course I know that won't happen...
