The Real Story - Iraq
Just saw this short video on the Glenn Beck show on CNN Headline News. Despite all the bad things going on in Iraq - no one can deny that - isn't it strange that we hardly ever get to hear about the good things that happen over there?
Well actually it's not strange in the least. That much is obvious. That's why I thought it would be nice to present the other side to the Iraq war, the one most MSM outlets will not cover except for the rare "feel-good" story. Does it justify the sacrifices we've made? You be the judge. But if we let the majority of the MSM answer that question for us, then we're at least half-blind.
Oh, and the first commenter to mention the "p" word gets 30 lashes across the wrist.

I guess that's why we must stay the course in Iraq, huh?
oh wait, we've never been stay the course...
r.
No, not necessarily. I guess you didn't catch the message I was trying to send here.
Let me ask you this, if you don't mind:
What would you do or like to be done regarding Iraq?
puppetry?
paramecium?
penitentiary?
pandemonium?
I'm stumped... But 30 lashes, how Saudi of you.
Alex,
None of the above. You're safe for now.
pro...peller?
pro...prietary?
pro...phylactic?
pro...selitysm?
Getting warmer?
Alex,
You're getting warmer with the last one you listed above.
C'mon, joo kahn doo eet! And don't worry, I won't cut off your hand or anything like that.
Mmmm, I though the second to last was closer. I'm stumped now.
Jokes aside, you are right, we almost never get to hear about good things happening in Iraq. Things are so polarized now, balance is hard to find.
I got halfway through this POS clip that's supposed to make everyone feel good that our soldiers are dying for vaccinations, new schools and cell phones, before I couldn't take it anymore. Did you really listen to this thing? No, I mean, REALLY listen?
"After all, it's not easy to put a country of 25 million back together again after decades of war and neglect." So when we invaded Iraq, a sovereign nation, using bad intel, and bombed the shit out of it and killed tens of thousands of civilians, we were putting it back together. Yeah.
"33,000 businesses have started up since the end of the war..." The war is over? Mission accomplished all-the-f- over again, I guess.
I've tired of trying to figure out how warmongers think and rationalize their deeds. It's only on the most blatant of BS that I emerge to vent and remind them that U.S. soldiers are dying every day. It's something that many seem to forget about while pounding away at their keyboards in order to put a smiley face on this huge pile of fecal matter dropped by George W. Bush.
I'm really happy that Iraqis can now make cell phone calls, Robert. I'm overjoyed that Iraqi kids have freshly painted schools. But is it worth the lives and the money we've put into it and continue to invest at the rate of $1 billion a week? Are you kidding me?
And don't ask me what I would do. I've opposed this little adventure from the very beginning. You guys had the gumption to get us into it.
Now get us the hell out.

Jonathan: I'll never convince you that Iraq wasn't a threat to the U.S. and you'll never convince me that American soldier lives are worth cell phones and new schools.
We'll have to just leave it at that.
