New Iraq report: 15 of 18 benchmarks satisfactory

 

 

In the past 12 months, since the White House released its first formal assessment of Iraq's military and political progress, Baghdad politicians have reached several new agreements seen as critical to easing sectarian tensions.

This story was nearly ignored by the press!!   WHY???

At a certain point in time Iraq will be in better shape than some cities in the U.S. We've focused so much attention over there that we've ignored the true war.

Yes, Iraq by this time should not only have improvements but should be in total control. Wasn't it in 2003 when George W. Bush declared, "Mission Accomplished" for the Iraq War? Wow, what a difference 5 years makes and how the outcome changes.

Yes, the media should report more but they report what they want just as certain bloggers believe what they want to believe.

jimbobbob made the front page because it is the news medias way of saying the 15 out of 18 was not ignored???

Seriously it is really ticking me off certain things never make headlines in the news.

And I am tired of every time I turn on the news (almost any news media) all I am hearing about is Obama Obama Obama. If you catch it right you might hear a small clip about McCain. Now if you want to hear about the Liberterian or Green candidates contact their offices direct because you sure won't find out about them and what they are doing.

Okay I am now getting down from my soapbox.

I seem to hear equal coverage on Obama and McCain. This mooning on the Early Show they did a whole segment on McCain and didn;'t even mention Obama.

The mainstream media just put out a new work out video; "To the left..and the left..to the left..feel the burn.." Can you Imagine if they put a "time-table" on WWII?..War is War..faught by men who know what it's all about...History will vindicate Bush...and Iraq will be an ally instead of a nemesis...Another good point jimbobbob!!!

The Democrats have a vested interest in an Iraqi loss. The Dem's receive no political gain if we win or if things go well. What kind of a political party puts their interest in an American military loss??

There is a reason that the Liberal press ignores good news in Iraq!


Thanks for the comments.

The mission was accomplished we defeated the Iraq armed forces. It is the stablizing of the new goverment that we are trying to do now.

Oh, man, things are going SO GREAT there - just SUPER, that I kind of wish maybe some of you RIGHT WINGERS would move there!

I mean, things are stable and all and everything is SO WONDERFUL, why don't you consider packing up your guns and SUVs and your American flag displays and move on over there!

On a realistic note, the only thing getting "better" (so to speak) is violence is down, and that's only because Iraq has instituted one of the most oppressive and militant control of its citizens of just about any nation on Earth. I don't count the lack of violence because there is an Army tank with 25 troops with machine guns on every corner as progress.

The real measure is when the strong military oppression is lifted. Then, I'm quite sure we will see a return to the hate-filled fights among religious groups, destroying the country, as it did for 5000 years before Saddam came to power. What we are doing now is NO DIFFERENT from what Saddam did then. And I always figured Saddam HAD to rule with an iron fist, because that is the only way in that land or religious strife. And now we have learned nothing more than the same thing.

Hey, here's a bonus: They don't have a liberal press there in Iraq! It's all government controlled right now! Perfect! You right wingers will ABSOLUTELY love it!

When you all moving?

Sik, for one thing, if we moved there you would have to argue with yourself. Since you asked "when you all moving?" has anyone asked you when you are moving in with Michael Moore or some of the other Left Hollywood? Here's the Bonus: You can get your info direct instead of going through the Liberal Press.

Maybe one day I might want to visit Iraq I don't know. I have never had any desire, in the past or present, to move or visit anyplace other than in the USA.

SIKNOTRITE and that is for sure. Hey sicko I have two proud young republican sons and a conservative wife, all because of me. How about you? Were you able to convert the family to the LEFT? Or did they leave you because you are nuts?

Thank you General Sik!! I think I will base my opinions on what the Generals on the ground are telling us. I put more faith in their analysis then what you regurgitated from some Communist Party Newspaper!

I still believe that you would be happier living in a Utopian Communist State. No freedom, no ownership, and no religion, gosh I bet you are getting goosebumps just thinking about it!!!

I have to put my 2 cents in. Converting a middle eastern country to a western system is to practice frustration. The only thing we can do is to put in a government that we can some what tolerate. Hey! Worked with Israel didn't it?
Progress is being made. I wish it would have been made faster, but in operations such as this you never know. Look at Afghanistan. Thought it was going good and Boom. Right back where we started from. I am here to tell ya. Middle Easterners is just plain nuts. All that sand and 120 temps boils the gray matter. It doesn't matter if they are Muslims or Camel worshippers. They is plain NUTS!

Is it Pride that enables those that feel superior, to boast of success?
Ignorance breeds ignorance.
Sociopaths are abundant in some cultures. Are we becoming one?
Do not pat yourselves on the back yet. If you choose to use Iraq as a medium for success, then you are impatient. Learn some restraint.
What about what is happening here? Is it alright that our country is loosing stability, focus, or strength?
Your purpose is to prove we went into a loosing situation as losers?
Jimbob, you and all that believe "we" are better or stronger, are so lost. I can only pray for your awareness, for certainly you have your head in a place where it has no light.

All Americans benefit from a successful result in Iraq. The only party that does not benefit from a positive outcome in Iraq is the Democratic Party!! No, I am not delusional, have my feet planted in reality. The media tries to distort the truth from the masses, because they have an agenda!

Regarding the problems facing this country, lets trace it back to the source. Since the Democrats took control over Congress/Senate gas prices have climbed 90% and consumer confidence has plummeted. There is a correlation between the Dem takeover and economic stats. It is amazing when you look at it objectively. There policies are the 2nd coming of Jimmy Carter.

As Americans we should all be happy that things are going better in Iraq, it is in all of our interest.
