Progress in Iraq Equals Failure at Home

So Chairman Dean thinks that the war in Iraq is not winnable and Sen. Kerry thinks that our troops are terrorizing the Iraqi civilians, well let’s see if we can find some examples of our troops terrorizing the locals. These numbers come from Military Recruiter in his post; Things You'll Never Hear the Main Stream Media Say

Over 2510 schools have been rebuilt.
More than 5.5 million children are back in the classroom, and girls now outnumber boys. Overall attendance during exam week was 97 percent.
More than 51 million new textbooks - without propaganda - have been distributed to students
Trained 33,000 teachers, and set up first ever PTA associations.
Iraqi teachers now earn up to 25 times their salaries before liberation.
Gave school supplies to over 2 million students
Encouraged girls to attend school, first ever all-girls schools open. Female enrollment is up 96% in Iraq schools.
First Iraqi Fulbright Students and Scholars in 14 Years Come to the United States
15 of 18 provinces representing 75% of the Iraqi population are free and stable.
Iraq has satellite TV previously outlawed by Saddam. ALF is one of their favorite satellite shows.
Cell phones are now allowed in Iraq. Under Saddam, they were a crime punishable by death.
Our brave men and women in uniform freed 24 million Iraqi people from a brutal dictator.
Iraq has over 500 free papers for the first time ever- they speak, write and print what they want.
Government Rape squads no longer patrol the streets of Iraq to interrogate and kill families.
Street sweepers in Iraq make $3 per day, the same as teachers made under Saddam.
Street vendors make 30 times what they made under the thumb of Saddam Hussein.
Hundreds of Iraqi cities and towns have electricity, sewer and running water for the FIRST TIME EVER! They no longer have human waste running down the streets!
US Forces have trained hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Police and Iraqi National Guard Soldiers. Soon Iraq can stand on its own - Just takes time.
First EVER - FREE Iraqi elections on January 30th, 2005.
First ever Iraqi Constitution that values FREEDOM and ends discrimination and values ALL Iraqi people - approved BY THE PEOPLE on October 15th, 2005 - 60% of voter turnout again!

To those people who claim that the Iraqi Constitution "sets back women's rights in Iraqi 50 years": Have you actually READ the constitution?! This document is nothing short of REVOLUTIONARY in the Muslim world! We should be applauding the Iraqi people, not criticizing them!

Wow, pretty good numbers there recruiter. Are any of you asking why these numbers aren’t being reported in the Main Stream Media’s reports on Iraq? In my opinion the answer is simple; the MSM doesn’t want you to know that progress is being made in Iraq, and the problem isn’t necessarily the reporter on the ground more often than not it’s the editors’ fault that prints the story. The headline is changed to give it a more negative slant or they just print falsehoods about Iraq, who’s going to know?

There is only one problem, many of us do know the truth and we are calling the MSM on their lies. Greyhawk at The Mudville Gazette is taking the media to task for their current misrepresentation of Presidents Bush’s recent speech in Philadelphia when asked the question: "Since the inception of the Iraqi war, I'd like to know the approximate total of Iraqis who have been killed. And by Iraqis I include civilians, military, police, insurgents, translators." (Emphasis added) The Presidents response: "How many Iraqi citizens have died in this war? I would say 30,000, more or less, have died as a result of the initial incursion and the ongoing violence against Iraqis. We've lost about 2,140 of our own troops in Iraq." So of course the headline the next day was “Bush says 30,000 Iraqi civilians dead in war.” I’m not sure how they extrapolated that all of the casualties were civilians since the reporter specifically mentioned that they were asking about civilians, military, police, insurgents and translators.

The MSM and the Democratic Party leaders that are part and parcel of their campaign of dishonesty are not representative of our country as a whole; unfortunately they have a loud voice and very large pulpit to shout out their disinformation campaign. This allows them to reach a large audience and many people trust these sources to be giving them an impartial look at what’s going on in the country, and around the world. To use this unlimited access and trust to subvert the Presidency for merely political points is not only wrong it’s treasonous. President Bush said on Monday that “Today, the call of liberty is being heard in Baghdad and Basra, and other Iraqi cities, and its sound is echoing across the broader Middle East.” Unfortunately, here in the United States the MSM is censoring this message and instead they are promoting a message of negatives where American troops are not liberators but rather terrorists, and the terrorists they fight are freedom fighters, to them the only good news is our failure.
