attaboy, now you are going in the right direction. So what else are you

Everything I can.

They had electricity and water before we got there.

Don't know of any significant bridges we destroyed. We destroyed almost no
infrastructure. We did destroy several of your buddy's castles. I'm sure you
find those terribly significant.

I wonder what we hired Haliburton(Cheney) to rebuild infrastructure
for, if we didn't destroy any?

I thought it was especially good given the fact that it was written by a
Democratic representative in the Washington Post...which makes the story
harder for liberals to attack.

According to Marshall:
"I went to Iraq a couple of weeks ago to resolve for myself the recent
contrast between gloomy news coverage and optimistic Pentagon reports of

our
progress. My trip left no doubt that the Pentagon's version is far

closer
to
reality."


He went to Iraq for a visit. I don't expect Marshall was in the streets

in
the same way a reporter can blend in. He was likely with an entourage
wearing western clothes and being whisked around by Americans.

Most of the people reporting on Iraq LIVE THERE. They're in the news
business which begs another question. Why is the news coming out of Iraq
mostly negative? Does bad news sell better than good news?


When was the last time you saw a news report about a building that was *not*
on fire, filled with asbestos, had a murdur occur in it, etc. Good news
just doesn't sell.

So don't blame people like Ted Kennedy for being shrill when they need to
get their message heard. The medium is the message.

Maybe, but some left-wing news organizations have reported a few pockets of
small, humanitarian successes in the Middle East. Go figure. These
organizations are supposed to be imbalanced.

Just because someone is "left-wing" in their social or fiscal beliefs,
doesn't mean they're dishonest and bitterly partisan. You, for instance,
strike me as one of those type of people. Gould is *almost* there, and
seems to be a little better as of late. He's even given some credit to the
signs of an improving economy.

Harry, jps, and basskisser are lost causes...Harry and jps, because they're
extremely partisan...and basskisser because he's just plain dumb.

Tune your aural filters to listen for Sam Nunn in the news. He'll be
explaining that your president is wasting billions of dollars in Iraq,
hunting for WMDs, while our government really DOES know the whereabouts of
several hundred TONS of weapons-grade nuclear material in FRIENDLY
countries, and is spending only a fraction of what's necessary to assist
those countries in securing said material. Countries like Russia cannot
afford to properly secure these materials. We've known this since RayGun
left office, and not enough has been done about it. THIS is the true threat
to American security, not Iraq.

That's why there's so much crap in the news about the Chimp in Chief
