Since th MSM will tke things out of context. here it is as he said it.... July 13, 2007 - Ongoing anti-insurgent operations conducted in and around Baghdad and to the south of Iraq's capital city are achieving continued success, a senior U.S. military officer said today during a teleconference with retired military analysts. Maj. Gen. Rich Lynch, commander of Multinational Division Center and U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division, said he is optimistic that the surge ...
This is a note to all of our fantastic military families out there that have loved ones serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. I recently (about March) began posting videos from the DOD on a YouTube Channel. I have over 100 now, with over 55,000 video views. The videos are ones you more than likely will not see on the news. I try to update it about every other day with new ones. But that is not the purpose of this article and I digress. A few weeks ago I got a message on my YouTube account fr...
You know I write a lot about how biased the media is. And at times its very subtle and other times is obvious. But none to date have been more obvious than todays headline in my local paper. Here is the Gainesville Soory's (Sun) Headline in the paper today in reference to Iraq: U.S. Military: 14 Troops Killed in Iraq - Now I was looking to see what our military had done so far in Operation Arrowhead Ripper, or for that matter any other operations, but couldn't find it. You do ...
To all those that say the War of Terror is not real, someone forgot to inform these guys! And amazingly this is from the MSM this time!! Exclusive: Suicide Bomb Teams Sent to U.S., Europe June 18, 2007 4:45 PM Brian Ross Reports: Large teams of newly trained suicide bombers are being sent to the United States and Europe, according to evidence contained on a new videotape obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com. Teams assigned to carry out attacks in the United States, Canada, Gre...
Do you know during which period we have lost more soldiers? During the Iraq War or during the Cold War Time from 1981-1984? If you listen to our media, our soldiers are being cut down left and right. We are suffering a terrible loss. Its all you hear of news from Iraq. Every time a soldier dies, its a great headline according to our media. But the facts bear out otherwise. 3415 total deaths in Operation Iraqi Freedom. That's from March 19th, 2003 through May 19th, 2007. That's ...
OK. I went to the press release site and copied the list of news releases for just the last two days. Then I looked at them. They list not only "Good News" susch as captured or killed terrorist, but they also mention soldiers being attacked and such. Seems to me just looking at these two days that the DOD MNF-I news release site list a more balanced set of articles than any main stream media site I find. Can you find anywhere on CNN, ABC, MSNBC or ones like those this type of balanced (good and ...
In todays newspaper (The Gainesville Sun) there was this big article about how we had 4 soldiers killed in a IED attack. NOT ONE MENTION OF THE 21 Dead Terrorist or other good stuff mentioned here! What a crock of bull chips. If you wanted any more proof of the one sidedness of the press all you have to do is look at stuff like this and then try to find it in the main stream media. YOU CAN'T! If the media actually told of not only the US military losses, but also the terrorist loses the Am...
I reposted it here as most people will never see this news as most media will not print it. CITATION AT BOTTOM! By Donna Miles American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, June 15, 2007 - Today's soldiers have the best equipment available, and the Army keeps striving to improve it, the general who oversees the equipping effort said. "In the history of warfare, there has never been a ground soldier as well equipped and capable as the U.S...
Media Bias? What do you think? Every single day we hear how the war is going badly. We are inundated with images and news of our soldiers being injured or killed, we here how many Iraq civilians are killed. Day after day, it’s no wonder that the American People as a majority (at least according to the polls) feel the war is not going well and we are not making any progress. It is only because I bother to look at a few different web sites I know about things that would make the ave...
OK people get ready. It has come to our home soil again and this could be just the tip of the iceberg as they say. Attacks on our military here at home? If they are willing to try this what will they do next, take a school like they did in Beslan Russia and kill hundreds of our children? Are you willing now to make the sacrifices that may be needed to stop these kinds of things? If we lose 10 soldiers and 50 policement in these attacks is that too many and we should withdraw and stop fighting a...
Has anyone here heard that Attacks against Iraqi civilians are down about 20 percent, and civilian deaths are down 30 percent nationwide? How about in Baghdad, attacks against civilians are down 20 percent, with deaths down 50 percent? I didn't think so. Attacks using explosively formed projectiles(AFP's) are also down, from 38 in December to 22 this month, though the number of attacks against coalition forces has remained constant. High-profile attack...
Well I am sure that there are those that will say this is really nothing more than propaganda from the military propaganda machine, and that it will have no impact what so ever on the over picture. But if you believe it happened as they say then it realy seems like a good haul. Responsible for 900 deaths and more than 1900 injuries. But read into these news releases even more. How do they know these two are part of a "cell" and how do they know who they were BEFORE they were captured. A...
You may or may not have heard of the VBIED (Vehicle Bourne Improvised Explosive Device) that blew up on Sunday in Baghdad in the Azamiyah neighborhood market area. What makes this one a little different from the others is the tactic that was used to get the vehicle through a US manned checkpoint. The driver and adult passenger of the vehicle had two children in the back seat of the vehicle. They were waved through the checkpoint as troops have a tendency to be less suspicious of vehicles with...
I know of this site also that post videos from the military, unedited. They are from the military's video distribution system called DVIDS.. good stuff.. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=3rdID8487
Even as many in the media and other news sources are telling us that the “surge” may not be working fast enough or to the extent that it was expected to, it appears that the terrorist and Sunni iraqi’s think something is happening. It seems that Iraqi’s, specifically Sunni’s in the al-Anbar Province are beginning to take part in getting rid of al-Qaeda. It seems that the members of two Iraqi Sunni tribes (the Abu Dhiyab and the Kartan al-Jazirah tribes) have had e...
