OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!

WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?

OUR MEDIA HASN'T TOLD US!



Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos of flag
burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at the
presidential motorcades. Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive
in Iraq serves two purposes:

It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United States thus
minimizing consequent support, and it is intended to discourage American
Citizens.

---- Pass it on! Give it a Wide Dissemination!

Why is it that you hate when anything good comes out of Iraq?

Seriously, it is as though you hate anything positive coming out of Iraq. And it is just because of partisanship. You know, even though I didn't like Clinton I wasn't cheering when things were going to shit in Somalia, Jack is just the opposite and maybe Cranky is also, don't know. For you guys it is all about partisanship, fuck everything else. Just like Jack and his fake anti-war stance, he thinks that the war should end immediately but it is OK if Hillary keeps troops over there for four more years . . . then it suddenly becomes OK.

Tell me, what is it like to not have any ideals of your own and instead get them from whoever your party leader is?

I am not realy thrilled with how this war has been handled or with the money that has been spent but it is ironic that these posative things have not been pointed out. They make it seem as if all we are doing is killing private citazens and throwing money into the trash. If we are going to spend billions at least it is going for some good. Weather you like it or not to shit talk the posative FACTS demeans your arguement and makes one look like a fucken idiot with tunnel vision. Should we have gone there should we have stayed this long? A debate that finds validaty on both sides but one fact that can not be debated they are in whole a lot better off then before we got there. Don't cluster fuck me with how many civilians have been killed and act like more would not be and have been before we got there. That is not to say it is ok but we do what we can and try to make our people accountable but to twist it and use it as something it is not is just a cheap ass political game. As far as the comments well if it is such a paradise go live there, come on are we kids, how about you go the fuck over there and live and maybe you will have a little compasion for the struggle other people in the world go through every day. Instead of sitting in your safe clean little world that knows no real hardship and pass judgement.

I DON'T

It's the biggest clusterfuck since Vietnam Nathan.......Yes, it certainly is the failure the media and left portray it to be.....calling it anything else is just stupid.

Sure there are some anecdotal success stories, but the place is still a fucking mess...and the Billions spent could have been spent much better.
