Doom and Gloom
I tried to post this yesterday, but the bloody machine erased the post.
It strikes me as odd that CNN would decide to air this story on the sixty-third anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, citing a classified cable sent back to C.I.A. headquarters from their chief in Baghdad last month. That's right. Classified. Folks, do you have any doubt at all that this story would never have been published by the mainstream media at any point during the course of World War II? I don't. The New York Times and CNN should be ashamed of themselves.
You can ask any soldier or Marine that comes back from Iraq, and more often than nine times out of ten they're going to tell you that the Coalition is making remarkable progress in Iraq. Just look at this post at BlackFive:
This is the same thing that I hear from just about everyone I know who's come back. There are people who are afraid of what a free Iraq means for the rest of the Middle East, and there are people who are afraid of President Bush and his team being victorious in spite of the pessimistic predictions that have been thrown around since before the invasion.
We're winning in Iraq. It's hard work, and there are setbacks and challenges; but in the words words of our last moderately successful/respectable Democratic president, we do "the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
NEW YORK -- The situation in Iraq is unlikely to improve anytime soon, according to a classified cable and briefings from the Central Intelligence Agency, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

These are the things that we are doing that don't make it into the news. And it angers me greatly. How dare they only portray the sensational aspects of the war without showing the humanitarian side as well. Enough ranting. Thank you for supporting us. As you can see, we need it.
