A little good news?

Well they just keep dolling out the bad news in Iraq. Today it is about Private Contractors, IE: Truck drivers being ambushed.
Now $80K is a lot of money, but each and every driver to a man said he was proud to serve next to a soldier on the front lines. They did not mention the fact that the Truckers are volunteers and that they believe in what we are doing in Iraq. They just talk about the sacrifice. The death.
I have to wonder if the same press coverage was given to World War 2 if we would have won.
There is NO ATTEMPT to show the positive ... and there are positives in Iraq. There is no attempt to show the danger of this enemy. This is an enemy that shows Saturday Morning cartoons to its kids showing cartoon children as heroes blowing up US and Israeli trucks with Suicide Bombs. Where is the OUTRAGE that anyone would encourage a CHILD to kill him or her self with a bomb. Our News Media will not talk about this. They will not show ISLAMIC Fundamentalists as anything OTHER than peaceful.
We will lose this war. We will leave Iraq and Al Queda will install itself as the predominant governing body and will use Iraq as a place to train and export terror to the world. I think I will invest in ...???? Well nothing will be worth much so ... I guess I will plan on learning Arabic.. or Persian.
