The point is, you blew them and their opinions off as non-credible because they didn't agree with you - despite the fact that they & their backgrounds are public, which a simple Google search would have informed you.

I did Google search, and found varying opinions from Iraq. Even on the blogs that you linked, there is much negative writing about the American occupation. Like I said, each blog is an opinion of one person. And we do not know what motivates each individual.

<<<For all I know these bloggers are paid by the RNC to write glowing stories about the occupation>>>

Wasn't an accusation of such, merely stating the possibility of support coming from the west. And from the article you posted, someone that appreciated the viewpoint of said bloggers sent $9,000.00 to them, laptops and cameras.

In a climate where it now becomes common place for "journalists" to be paid for a particular point of view, even with government funds, I have to remain skeptical about everything I read which is being framed as "news". You should too.

Their opinions are their opinions. There is no such thing as a non-credible opinion. I took their writings as just that, an opinion.

You are in no position go all huffy or call me a liar.

You lied. Ergo you are a liar.
