Iraq War - Winning Isn't News
Posted: 7/30/2008 3:05:55 PM
Regardless of what we think of this war, why it was initiated, and what it's led to for us in our economy and foreign relations... I think all of us want to see the best possible outcome after the fact for everybody. Especially for the Iraqis who have had to bear the brunt of the destruction and slow restoration of services.

All things considered, I don't think we can ever truly view it as a successful policy even if the circumstances were the result of nothing more sinister than crappy intelligence and the belief was that there truly was an imminent threat by Saddam. We can just hope for the best now.

Iraq War - Winning Isn't News

It's funny how the mainstream media doesn't cover this as news. We have to get the real story about the progress in Iraq from a foreign media source.

The war is won, the Iraqis feel so strongly that this is the case, that they themselves are asking for a timetable for withdrawal, AND their foreign debt of 7 Billion has been Waived. Which shows financial confidence in the country.

You would think that the same left wing media, NBC, CBS, ABC, who meticulously report each and every soldiers death. Forget to mention that the war is about over, and despite Barracks idea to have been withdrawn by now. The plan worked and Iraq is almost complete with it's benchmarks for success.

Why doesn't the media cover this story more? Why isn't it given the same dedication as each individual death count?

You would think that the stoppage of U.S. deaths and a reason and timetable to leave would be front page news for days and weeks to come. But all you hear is crickets.

Why is that?


"Why is that?" I don't know.. but we can spread the news as you are doing and it can't be ignored by the masses who are in the internet community. We can tell our friends and neighbors, call our local newspaper and your Congress members who we elected. We need a spokesperson who will garner media attention to report this "Win" not a celebrity but someone who is respected.. We owe it to the Troops to get this message out.
