"It must be comforting for them (terrorists) to see our news media actually report on injuries and deaths in Iraq." I suppose it is. They like publiciity. What's your point? Is it that because they like media attention it is ok to embrace their views as you guys seem to do? "It must be comforting for them (terrorists) to realize that the hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars we are expending in Iraq" I'm not sure about this. We are a formidable enemy, and my guess is that they would prefer we were not going after them so aggresively. I agree they like to see us spend money, but when the spending is focused on KILLING them, they may prefer the spending being done in other ways. I believe the prefer the type of spending that results from the destruction of our property and the killing of innocents. Like the attack on 9-11-01 for instance. "(funds) are not available for the fight against terrorism" This is a lie, or you are an idiot. I guess a temporary deficit is more damaging than an attack like 9-11-01 in your mind, but that makes you an idiot or a terrorist supporter. My guess is you sympathise with them. Why else lie about the financial strength of our country? "They must be comforted by the knowledge that the guerrilla force in Iraq is growing in power and effectiveness" This is another lie, isn't it? If not, it is just an acknowledgement that you think they can beat us. The cannot, but people like you that support them certainly give them comfort and keep them going. That support will drag it out by emboldening them, and will cost American lives. Something I am pretty sure you don't care about. Those are a few counter points to your beliefs. The rest of your post is gibberish that seems to state that we should not have news reporting? Are you one of the guys that goes to Al Jezeera for your news?
