Oops, they did it again. The mainstream media have made another of their honest mistakes that just happen to hurt the Bush administration, or impugn the integrity of the U.S. military, or undermine our foreign policy, or ” as in this case ” all three

Not to mention cause riots and deaths!!!!!!!!!!!



FULL STORY

Yeah, I'm getting pretty tired of the political and military morass that Iraq has become. Seems like I remember some kind of thing like this when I was young. Everyone was upset, nobody could agree on what to do, guys were coming home dead or maimed every day and it stretched on for years. Now what was that?

Oh I remember... it was called, "Vietnam."

Do you really think we'll lose 68,000 in Iraq?

Good article. One positive factor is that each time a misguided story like the Newsweek piece appears the general reaction to it highlights the left leaning bias of some elements of the media and the public grows ever more aware of mis-reporting (witness the Rather debacle).

We have the greatest Armed Services outfit in the world and many, many countries owe a huge debt of gratitude to the United States for the efforts our military men and women undertake not only in a combatitive situation but also in humanitarian terms.

Of course, we're not always thanked for our efforts but we don't ask for gratitude. That's not why we do it.

It does throw up some strange anomolies , however.

Remember the pictures of the Indonesian children getting food handouts from our military in the wake of the tsunami disaster while wearing 'Osama Bin Laden' tee-shirts!

No, I don`t think you`ll lose 68000 in Iraq

Yes Vietnam was a quagmire - and what was it all for, when all`s said and done? Look at it now, going on its own happy way
