No matter where you stand on the War in Iraq, you have smile at these little ones: One little boy would not let go of his father, even during a final formation.

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 ...

I find this very interesting. Recently I was trying to upload a set of videos to my YouTube Channel (where I have 73 others) and found that YouTube has a 10 minute in length or 100 meg limit. My new videos were under the 100 meg limit but were over the 10 minute limit. SO I went looking and found the rule in the help section. Just a note all my others meet the requirements. But having been around YouTube for a while, I have watched many videos. And some of those well over the 10 min...

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.

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...

Senator Mitch McConnell, the ranking Republican in the Senate, earned himself an armchair general award over the weekend....speaking with CNN (aptly enough), he was harshly critical of Iraq's progress to date: "The Iraqi government is a huge disappointment," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told CNN'S Late Edition on Sunday. "So far, they've not been able do anything they promised on the political side," the Kentucky Republican said, citing the Iraqis' failure to pass a new o...

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...
