This shouldn't be allowed. At the very least, she should be warned not to send

out polemical messages like this. That isn't what this site is about. It puts

all the sick people here at odds with one another. We should concentrate on our

mutual need for the best kind of help for our diseases. This sort of

disputatious stuff won't make it easy.

rheumatic The London times report

What do you bet that when our troops all get sent home that our new

President is going to take all the credit???? Ready for a shock? Below is an

article from the London Times about our military. Interesting, it is!

Our media coverage is shameful!

Winning Isn't News!!

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

( Iraq: What would happen if the U.S. won a war but the media didn't tell

the American public? Apparently, we have to rely on a British newspaper for

the news that we've defeated the last remnants of al-Qaida in Iraq …...

London's Sunday Times called it 'the culmination of one of the most

spectacular victories of the war on terror.' A terrorist force that once

numbered

more than 12,000, with strongholds in the west and central regions of Iraq,

has

in over two years been reduced to a mere 1,200 fighters, backed against the

wall in the northern city of Mosul .The destruction of al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI)

is one of the most unlikely and unforeseen events in the long history of

American warfare.

We can thank President Bush's surge Strategy, in which he bucked both

Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington by increasing our forces there

instead of surrendering. We can also thank the leadership of the new general

he

placed in charge there, Petraeus, who may be the foremost expert in

the world on counter-insurgency warfare. And we can thank those serving in our

military in Iraq who engaged local Iraqi tribal leaders and convinced them

America was their friend and AQI their enemy.

Al-Qaida's loss of the hearts and minds of ordinary Iraqis began in Anbar

Province, which had been written off as a basket case, and spread out from

there. Now, in Operation Lion's Roar the Iraqi army and the U.S. 3rd Armored

Cavalry Regiment is destroying the fraction of terrorists who are left. More

than 1,000AQI operatives have already been apprehended. Sunday Times (London)

reporter Marie Colvin, traveling with Iraqi forces in Mosul, found little AQI

presence even in bullet-ridden residential areas that were once insurgency

strongholds, and reported that the terrorists have lost control of its Mosul

urban base, with what is left of the organization having fled south into the

countryside.

Meanwhile, the State Department reports that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri

al-Maliki's government has achieved 'satisfactory' progress on 15 of the 18

political benchmarks 'a big change for the better from a year ago.' Things are

going so well that Maliki has even for the first time floated the idea of a

timetable for withdrawal of American forces. He did so while visiting the

United Arab Emirates , which over the weekend announced that it was forgiving

almost $7 billion of debt owed by Baghdad , an impressive vote of confidence

from

a fellow Arab state in thefuture of a free Iraq ..

But where are the headlines and the front-page stories about all this good

news? As the Media Research Center pointed out last week, 'the CBS Evening

News, NBC Nightly News and CNN's 360 were silent Tuesday night

about the benchmarks 'that signaled political progress.' The war in Iraq has

been turned around 180 degrees both militarily and politically because

President Bush stuck to his guns. Yet apart from IBD, Fox News Channel and

parts of

the foreign press, the media don't seem to consider this historic event a

big story.

Addendum: The reason you haven't seen this on American television or read

about it in the American press is simple--journalism is 'dead' in this

country. They are controlled by Liberal Democrats who would rather see our

troops

defeated than recognize a successful Republican initiated response to 9/11.

Media probably were holding 'til after coronation of BHO in order to give him

credit. God bless our troops, God bless President Bush and God bless the

U.S.A.

How many will you forward it to? We need to get it known around the country

ASAP. Over 10 million people will have read this by March 1, 2009. With all

your help we can reach well over 30 million world wide. Thanks,let the truth

be known

Yes, we should thank President Bush for invading a country who did nothing

to us but is rich in oil that enriches some people; for torturing people;

..for the innocent military killed and maimed; for the geopolitical power and

control in the Middle East; for the outrageous greed; for the recession we

have been left with now. Oh, and of course General Betray us.
