The hatred and loathing expressed by some on this forum for the military is sick and sad.
You would think that, as norman pointed out, good news would be welcome since it would mean our troops are closer to coming home.
Instead, many of the ranters only see any good news from Iraq as bad for their partisan agenda. Therefore, it must be hidden. Sad.

Hi justme,
I don't know why some people want to take out there anger and frustration on those serving in the military. Perhaps they feel that Bush and Co. are unreachable, so the military is the next best thing. The overwhelming majority of those serving are good people trying to the best job they can under very difficult circumstances...and, in the end, trying to get home to their loved ones. Those of us who are disenchanted with this war and the leadership need to keep our eye on the ball...and understand this.
I always like seeing those photos of American troops helping Iraqi citizens. It's just that it is a very difficult place to make people get along....some of the animosity goes back long before we were even a country.
