Media's coverage has distorted world's view of Ira

blatant troll, mike

I don't disagree with that article at all. I have stopped watching news coverage because it is so blatantly tunnel visioned. the media, especially tv media, is able to pick and choose what it puts on the air. There is no true media coverage either way. and yet, why does that article carry more substance than your average AP wire stuff?

The answer is, it doesnt. That is not an exclusive, i got in in an email off the AP wire service. So that soldier is right, you cannot trust the news.

When the US announced there were no weapons of mass distruction in IRaq, its stated objective wasnt met. so our stated objective was a failure.

I am not against the war at all. I just hate the fact that we made it about "Iraqi freedom" when our stated objective was looking like it would not be met. Now it looks like a drawn our nation building effort, and bush still sits on the fence. More men on the ground is obviously the way to go now that we are firm,ly entrenched, but Bush's reluctance to commit reminds me of LBJ. Half Measures just get more people killed. for having the best trained military in the world, we are short sheeting them on supplies, and not backing them up the way a government should. They are sort of out there on an island right now. And after being elected for the second time, i am not seeing glimmers of hope that our Administration will do what it takes to finish this part.
