OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!
WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?
BECAUSE OUR MEDIA WON'T TELL US!

Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.
Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes:
It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United States thus minimizing consequent support; and it is intended to discourage American citizens.

Above facts are verifiable on the Department of Defense web site.

Did you know?

But I know now.....

it is not always about us

me neither

did you know that was really long

Shaw~ this is so not directed at you.

What i think we have gotten is this:

843 million threads about people complaining about the war.

I say stop complaining if you have no viable solution. I'm sick of it... and sick of hearing people whining, moaning, and groaning over it. It's so annoying. I mean, why focus on negativity and arguing over minutia details every fifteen minutes? Cutting and pasting articles and blog crapola...

Don't you have real issues in your lives to worry about~ ones that you might actually have some control over?

STOP IT!!!

Wow.... that was cleansing.

****Rubs ears**** WOOOOSAAAAA

Ladies and Gentlemen i will say that i do not agree with this war, but i have see with my own to Blue eyes what it has done for this country...it has made people unafraid to walk out of their house and go shoppin. People accually tell us about weapon and high value targets...this country is well on it way to bein free for once...but the question i have for ya'll is this

What about Bin Laden?

well saddam is not torchering people for one.

Did you know that they probably had all of that before we bombed the sh*t out of them and had to rebuild it.

That is my question always

bin laden is miserable - probably held up in a cave somewhere completely powerless to do nothing but watch his terroist buddies die in Iraq.

He is free and that is too much. Iraqis have paid for bin ladens sins against us with their lives and he still lives.

They just received a new tape recording from him today...sucker is still out there somewhere. Despite Bush's dismissal of Bin Laden, if I had any say in it, I would step up efforts to find or eliminate him once and for all. Enough is friggin' enough!

OP - One other thing that a lot of people have gotten out of the War is that our News Media cannot be trusted to report what's actually going on in a situation like this. Sensationalism is one thing but omission is quite another.
