Citizens Gather to Join Ranks of Lutifiyah’s Iraqi Police

When every day brings reports of Iraqis deciding that they have had enough with Al-Qaeda and the terrorists, when will the Western Media report on events where the citizen's of Iraq decide thta they will step up and join the fight against our common enemy?

LUTIFIYAH — During a time when Iraq needs help the most, citizens are stepping forward and volunteering their services to help make the country a better place.

Iraqi police from the surrounding areas of Lutifiyah, Iraq, held a recruiting drive in Lutifiyah, June 17.

“Lutifiyah needs a local police force and this recruiting event was a good thing to see happen,” said Capt. Eric Daldom, a native of Clearwater, Kan., who serves as an assistant information operations officer with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division from Fort Drum, N.Y.

“It was a strong turnout,” Daldom said. More than 100 recruits showed up to the event.

Soldiers from the 23rd Military Police Company, out of Fort Bragg, N.C., currently attached to the 2nd BCT, provided basic assistance for the recruitment.

“The event was strictly an Iraqi initiative,” said Capt. Michael Parsons, the 2nd BCT provost marshal and native of Painesville, Ohio. “We just assisted with general requirements.”

Iraqi's are stepping up at an alarming pace, especially since the indisriminant violence against then increases. Why won't the Western Media admit, that they have it wrong, Iraq is not lost.

Iraq is going to be hard, but it is not hopeless as so many on the left and in the media would have you believe. The media is failing us in this war, with their template of, "If it bleeds, it leads..." the truth out of Iraq is being over shadowed by the sensational. The enemy knows this and the Pentagon needs to get a better handle on the information war. Honest and factual reporting out of Iraq is not propoganda, and the Media needs to put aside their biases and begin reporting on all of the news in Iraq, not just the explosions called into them from their terrorist employed stringers.
