No, not really. In fact the news out of Iraq continues to be positive. But you really wouldn’t know that unless you looked and listened really hard.
When the war was not going well, every major news outlet (such as the NY Times, NBC News, CBS News) made sure that America was “well informed.” But have you noticed the almost deafening silence coming from the Fourth Estate? Worse yet, these same outlets either bury the story deep into their coverage, or downplay the positive results:
The first story is compliments of the NY Times:
Mesopotamia is not a bar drink
The interesting part about this story was the use of Iran’s old kingdom name, Mesopotamia, which is something the NY Times does quite often. Our US Military is doing an incredible job, as part of this story demonstrates, and somehow the NY Times just cannot state the success is occurring in IRAQ.
Up next are two stories about the resolve of the Iraqis:
More Iraqis Returning to Iraq
The Washington Post just couldn’t help but remind us that the press conference was held “in the heavily fortified Green Zone.” Funny, I don't recall them mentioning the same fact when they attend a press conference at the heavily fortified White House?
Even with some negative tinges in the story, it demonstrates that Iraqis are trying to work together, and with the US Military, to build a new Iraq. In fact, in another under reported story, Iraqis held a parade last week to call for national unity:
Iraqis March for Unity
This following piece demonstrates once again the huge hearts that our American soldiers posses, and the commitment to compassion they have for the Iraq people.
"Helping Those in Need"
One of the heroes of this story, Soham Hassan Ka-Naan, is also an innocent victim targeted by a ruthless enemy. The other heroes are those members of the US Military who helped her. In the words of Khalid Hassan Ka-Naan (Soham’s brother) …”God Bless the US Soldiers!”
Our last story is not positive, but a reminder of why we must remain vigilante.
WMD are real
Our enemy is determined and willing to do anything to achieve their fanatical vision. We would be wise to remember that.
