Stuff like his POV isn't sexy enough for mainstream media. Since most media has a liberal bias, plus the fact that controversy, death & destruction sells; That's what will get the headlines even if it doesn't represent what is going on in most of Iraq. BTW, if these alleged widespread problems were really going on in Iraq, why doesn't CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, FOX, the NYT, LA Times, etc., have reams of video & pictures every single day of these "widespread" problems?

a Navy Seabee ... in southern Iraq By the time the Iraqi opposition gets to the Umm Qasr area, the US will have lost. Just my assessment of the Iraqi demographic distribution. Let's try this. The pentagon's own team of experts claimed in July that there was only a three month "window of opportunity". tiscali.co.uk If, on Nov. 1, the opposition to the American presence is still as great as it is today, would you say one, I was wrong. There is a serious problem. or two, doesn't matter. We'll stay as long as it takes. Just trying to understand what "Support the Troops" means to you. lurqer
