So Oneball, what good news do you want to know? How many GI's did not get killed or wounded today? That we are only attacked about 40 times a day....after all, it could be a hundred times a day.... How many pencils and pads were donated to Iraqi school children by US civilians despite our spending 60B dollars there and resurrecting 1000 schools? How many M&M's did the GI's hand out to kids while wearing full body armor and helmets? How many military planes landed safely at Baghdad airport without being shot at.....the fact that no civilian planes have been shot down because the airport is still not open for their use? Should we be happy that only 50% of our soldiers report bad morale? Do you want to hear that most of our soldiers do not commit suicide? Isn't it nice to know that millions of pounds of Iraqi munitions are not being guarded full time including shoulder fired rockets...? But hey, they are being guarded some of the time and at some time will all be destroyed?
