Numbers game
December 31, 2006 - 15:42 ET by nkviking75Quit treating American casualities in Iraq like numbers on a scoreboard. Case in point: This brief blurb on the AP Broadcast wire:
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The Pentagon has announced the death
of a Texas soldier, who was killed by small arms fire in Baghdad
late last week.
According to an Associated Press count, the death raises
the number of U-S military deaths in Iraq to at least 3-thousand
since the war began.

it's war, after all
December 31, 2006 - 15:55 ET by tumbler_2007That's war, nkviking,
In past wars, the announcement of one fatality was probably unique to the death of a general.
The 3,000 who've died in Iraq (and elsewhere) includes at least scores who didn't get it in battle. They died in roadway accidents, helicopter crashes, friendly fire incidents and most of all by stealth. Bombs where none were detected before it happened.
These are nevertheless deaths we mourn. They were Americans, Brits, Aussies, et al; each life priceless. Now, let's suppose that instead of 3,000 they'd only been 300. Would it be easier to accept? Not easier, but inevitable. Even 20,000 or 30,000. That's how many body bags we were being warned would come back from this invasion. By the Bush-hating set and anti-war demonstrators. Are these people relieved and glad we lost only 2,000 plus, and some accidents? No. They're simply contrarians and boo-birds.
Casualities
December 31, 2006 - 16:09 ET by nkviking75I'm old enough to remember watching Walter Cronkite during the Vietnam war. Once a week there'd be a story reporting the number of Americans killed during the week, as well as the number of Viet Cong killed. Despite Uncle Walter's anti-war sentiments, the numbers were passed on in a matter-of-fact manner. We didn't get stories on each and every death, including how it happened, or the individual names and hometowns of each man or woman killed. I don't recall any big fuss about the numbers passing each thousand or even ten thousand milestone. I think the deaths in this war are presented in such a way that they are meant to wear down support for the war.
Start reporting the TRUTH fro
December 31, 2006 - 15:45 ET by Dave HighStart reporting the TRUTH from Iraq; not just all of the BAD NEWS. All we hear is that there are now over 50,000 Iraqi civilian casualties, almost 3,000 U.S. soldiers killed, over 20,000 U.S. soldiers maimed and wounded, and an entire country inexorability plunged into civil war. Then there’s the stuff about growing Sunni militias and Iraqi police death squads killing and torturing people with electric drills. 100 civilians are killed on average every day. So what I say; freedom is bloody messy! ENOUGH BAD NEWS already! Start telling us the GOOD stuff. Sure, they told us about Sadaam Hussein’s hanging, but they had to. It was all over U-Tube. They would have hid it if they could. But what about all the other good stuff, like ...... and like ....., uhhhh ...... gee, didn’t we paint a school, or something? See, how could you know if they don’t tell us? Well, if there really is no good stuff, they should resolve to MAKE SOME GOOD STUFF UP, then.
They should also resolve to get their butts away from the hotel bar in the Green Zone. What’s taking a little shrapnel in the commission of writing a happy, good news story? Get back to work, and make 2007 a good news year!
Should Old Acquaintances be forgot ....

December 31, 2006 - 17:21 ET by FastEdJust to put things into perseptctive - as sad as it is, approx. 117 people in the US die EVERY day in automobile accidents. This translates into 3000 deaths in one month. Why doesn't the msm (Lsm) complain about bad driving in the states?

December 31, 2006 - 21:18 ET by Indiana Joe"See, how could you know if they don’t tell us? Well, if there really is no good stuff, they should resolve to MAKE SOME GOOD STUFF UP, then."
Interesting mixture of sarcasm and truth, Dave. We CAN know, and DO know, if we listen to the people (like Mark Finklestein and others) who go over there and talk to our soldiers, instead of the "insurgents," or "freedom-fighters," or (dare I say it?) "terrorists." Or even read some of the posts from our soldiers in Iraq right on this site. No need to "MAKE SOME GOOD STUFF UP" if one is willing to do that.
From what I've seen of THAT kind of reportage, our soldiers, to a man/woman, claim we are winning this war, and we are wanted and appreciated by the Iraqi public. THEY think they are doing the job we sent them over there for, and doing it well. THEY want to "finish the job." Or don't you think THEY know what they're talking about?
"What’s taking a little shrapnel in the commission of writing a happy, good news story?"
Again, nice try. But if I wasn't willing to go out in the field to get a story, risking "a little shrapnel" in the process, then I wouldn't call myself a "war correspondent." And I wouldn't go to a war zone and claim to cover the war from a hotel. Or are correspondents drafted now?
But as I said, nice try....
Happy New Year to you, too,

Indiana Joe:Recently Tony Bla
December 31, 2006 - 23:15 ET by Dave HighIndiana Joe:
Recently Tony Blankley, the editorial page editor for Reverend Sun Myung Moon’s Washington Times, was on a TV talk show diatribing about how the MSM never covers the good news from Iraq. One of the other panelists asked him what good news The Washington Times had been reporting. After some thought, he answered that he couldn’t remember the last time his paper had reported any good news from Iraq. I give him 10 points for honesty, but it begs the question. If Faux News and The Unification Times can’t find any good news to report, then where is it? It either doesn’t exist, or the bad news so far outweighs the good that even these ultra-conservative media outlets can’t distort the truth to the administration’s benefit.

Seems to me GWB did a much better job of carrying out the Clinton administration's official policy of regime change in Iraq than did Billy Jeff himself.
Then again, your hero Billy Jeff sat idle and allowed Osama's goons to attack this country, or it's interests, 5 TIMES during his presidency.
FEAR
December 31, 2006 - 23:28 ET by UnsaneWhy the overwhelming, intense FEAR of ONE little 24 hour news channel that MAY reach 3 million people on busy news days? Could it be that Leftists hate objectivity and conservative viewpoints being reported after all? So much for the Left being the side that loves the First Amendment infinitely much more than the Right.
And again, you dare not question what the Washington Times has in its pages, but its ownership. That's like me blasting the Express News not for being a poorly written, crappy paper, but for being owned by the Hearst Corporation. Why can't Leftists address issues? (And maybe you ought to be more careful in addressing the Reverend as just a Reverend. The Congress, in strong bipartisan fashion, proclaimed him the Messiah in March 2005.)

Well Unsane
December 31, 2006 - 23:59 ET by SportPoliticsI always have to remember that FoxNews has almost singlehandedly destroyed abc,nbc, and cbs, and has subverted totally freedom of the press in the USA, and shredded the constitution, killed it, since it was living and breathing before the neocons launched their news propaganda and brainwashed America.
FoxNews is a gigantic beast that reaches the corners of the earth and is likely a front for the blackbag CIA plots that rule governments worldwide sight unseen. Roger Ailes is a lesser anti-christ than GWB, nonetheless. Democracy has given way to tyranny, thanks to FoxNews.
AS a liberal posuer, I'm forced to grind my stubs down some more, enjoying the tiny bits of enamel since Bush cut lunch money funding and all government safety net programs, is starving more Americans than Reagan did or ever dreamed of, who cooperated with murdering gays with HIV in that other racist republican plot since chain dragging didn't work out, that one giving way to global world oil pollution, endless war on formerly trained Al Qaeda allies, and our ultimate demise in the fire and flood Armageddon the xtian bush pnac zealouts have cooked up in their insane religious zealoutry and bible thumping flat earthing. FoxNews won't report on any of that, because they of course are in on it.
Word up to thoughtpolice and libertyordeath, Ben Franklin, world peace, Orwell's 1984, and stopping total destruction of Mother Orb before it's too late, the demons stole our savior Al Gore's rightful place in history, and swiftboated his progeny the true one Kerry the war veteran hero who isn't a chickenhawk draft dodger awol shrubster puppet nazi racist.

You're mean. Read one of my poems ! Tada . Sweets. Cats. He saved my life once, I was down and ready to end it all, bad break on acting. Why don't you talk to someone first before judging them. You don't know anything about my little bro, he's a life saver. He took the time out to care, but did you ?

Fox News
January 2, 2007 - 11:24 ET by pbanks7I'll bet he's never even watched Fox news for more than 5 minutes. Or listened to Rush Limbaugh for more than 5 seconds. He hates them for what other people say about them. Hate through ignorance.
At least Fox gives face time to a few liberals. The rest of the media only give face time to a conservative if they outnumber him at least 2-1.
It was a nice, humorous rant, though.
Ignorance is bliss. It's easier to repeat a mindless slogan than to do some actual research.
So, what's the problem with Fox again?

I really like this part.
"FoxNews is a gigantic beast that reaches the corners of the earth and is likely a front for the blackbag CIA plots that rule governments worldwide sight unseen."
"Gigantic beast..." Wow. You should write with Jim Webb in the 'serious author' series of pulp fiction.

December 31, 2006 - 23:45 ET by Indiana JoeDave,
It just so happens that two media members who went over and talked to the troops, the ones I mentioned in my post, were both from Fox. One was Sean Hannity, the other was Bill O'Reilly. I saw both those broadcasts. There have been others, I'm sure. And, of course, Mark Finkelstein from here.
And, as I said, these troops seemed very upbeat and serious about the good they were doing and the mission they were on. I repeat, don't you consider them to be "reliable sources?"
Personally, I'll take the word of a man who's "been there and done that" over that of any arm-chair "journalist" any day of the week.
And failure to report the whole truth is distortion, in my book. To believe the news is ALL "bad" is as ridiculous as believing it is ALL "good."

December 31, 2006 - 16:45 ET by misterbillRimsky said it well.
Please give us the facts reported as honest news reporting. Please leave the analysis for the opinion pages of the newspapers and the special shows of the networks. And, please...before God... stop lying to us and stand up for your country. President Bush, IMHO, twenty years from now will be remembered as a man who accomplished good things and made the world a better place and America a safer place. You in the media will be remembered as a pack of hyenas , always trying to bring the lion down.
May God give strength to GW Bush and continue to lead him to the right decisions for a better America.
May God let the media look inside their souls and see the vitriol and hatred and the harm they do their country.
I make a last statement that may be challenged by some :
This is our country, but I also look at it as my country. I fought for it and would again, if asked and able to do so. No group of people have the right to change our laws without our support. No one has the right to shelter illegal visitors. No one has the right to give away or share the gifts of this country without a consensus vote. I have found, (thank God), many people at this site who share my feelings. It is nice not to feel alone. My good friends locally are so wrapped up in their daily pursuits that they fail to recognize the dangerous things that are happening. Some of them scoff at the idea that anything bad will happen.
God bless our country in the year to come. Per usual, a few will suffer and die so that the majority can move blithely through their lives with little thought for those who serve us. And finally, may God protect our boys and girls who are away from home and risking the greatest sacrifice. I offer a prayer for them and their families.

On that note....
I'd like to see Lynn Cheney with her own show during 2007....or at least an appearance every other week taking down the idiot lib talking points.
To my way of thinking, she even trumps Anne Coulter as the female conservative responder to all of the slander and lies the MsM spews on a regular basis.
If Hillary can be a Senator, Mrs. Cheney can be a focal point to rally the conservatives.

If they have an urgent need, a slab of unsmoothed quartz can be provided along with a small chip of dry sandstone. Lemon chicken meals are out.
Will be : Full personal and unrelenting effort shall be resworn to boost the democrats and denounce the republicans, by any means of trickery, lies, and deciept available, despite any and all possibilities of disgrace and discovery, and unto death shall never be admitted, acknowledged, or discussed.

December 31, 2006 - 20:23 ET by Carl KolchakHappy New Year to you and yours. You should break out the Elvis songs tonight. My mom was a huge Elvis fan and used to have a bust of Elvis. That had to be one of the coolest things ever.

January 1, 2007 - 03:53 ET by UnsaneCarl, a tradition of mine is to play "New Year's Day" by U2 to start my year. So no Elvis here, sorry. (I wonder if my mother has any on vinyl?)

December 31, 2006 - 20:17 ET by sarcasmoThe media should, for once, resolve to fairly cover even those stories which are politically-incorrect for BOTH the left and right. (And listen to the state's wonderful informant in this just-upheld case and others, I suspect his name is Daniel Carver! -- Warning, extreme racism displayed.) No, "conservative" drugwar-worshippers, the slapfest ain't over, it's just beginning again...

Happy New Years to all......I have to go and mope over my Broncos' loss and drink heavily, don't worry I'm home not driving alcohol dulls the pain of Ryan Seacrest and his thoughtless comments! Damn the Snow!

January 1, 2007 - 15:35 ET by UnsanePlease list Bush's "high crimes and misdemeanors". The fact that he is NOT in office to coddle, pamper, spoil, and babysit you and others does NOT count.
I would hardly consider Rush or O'Reilly anti-American snots, but then, thanks for proving you only listen to and parrot what others say about them and not actually watch/listen to them yourself to form your own opinions. But then, from your posts, I can tell that critical thinking is simply not a strong point of yours.

January 1, 2007 - 20:09 ET byUnsane, instigating a war with no good reason that kills HUNDREDS of thousands of people, well that will do. Rumsfield can't comfortably travel the globe for fear of being tried for war crimes, Bush and Blair for the rest of their miserable lives will be looking over their shoulders and sweating bullets(or bombs), just like that ol' bastard Pinochete. You just can't start ILLEGAL wars and get away scot free anymore. As for the talkroaches, Rush/O'Reilly, i thank you for tacitly agreeing they are a junky and a pervert.

January 1, 2007 - 20:47 ET by UnsaneIt is clear from these posts that 7MS is very broken up and crestfallen over the execution fo Saddam. If he likes Leftist dictatorships so much, perhaps he can take a swim across the Florida Strait to the Worker's Paradise, and join that wave of millions of other Americans going there for its free health care and outstanding educational programs!
Wait a minute...

Well....not exactly....although the sailboats are sometimes a bit of an annoyance, as they always believe they have the right of way.
Which is generally true, unless a boat is dead in the water (like one is when live-baiting for sailfish)....at which point the sailboats are supposed to yield.
Makes for an interesting day on the water.
