OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW! WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW? OUR MEDIA WOULDNT TELL US!!!

Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves TWO purposes:

1. It is intended to UNDERMINE the world's perception of the United States thus MINIMIZING CONSEQUENT SUPPORT, and...
2. it is intended TO DISCOURAGE THE AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!

These acts are verifiable on the Department of Defense web site. HYPERLINK "http://console.mxlogic.com/redir/?1juopKqem63qrX3RSnAjo093TvxjPVgaYH8_

Now why would they do this? All I saw today was this: "Bomber kills 10 in hit on Iraqi police".

Anyone wonder why they newpapers are losing subscribers and news stations are losing viewers? BECAUSE AMERICANS ARE TIRED OF THEIR PROPAGANDA AND BAD NEWS! It's time to cancel another subscription!
