Did you know that Iraq's Air Force now
consists of three operational squadrons,
which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft
(under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and night,
and they'll soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?
Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit

Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service
has over 55,000 fully trained and

had a televised debate recently?

OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!
WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?
YOUR NEWS MEDIA REFUSES TO TELL THIS!
Instead of reflecting our love for our country,
we get photos of flag burnings,
incidents at Abu Ghraib
and people throwing things at the presidential motorcades.

Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq
serves three major purposes of the liberal news media:
1. It is intended to undermine the world's
perception of the United States, thus minimizing consequent support;
2. It is intended to discourage American citizens and erode their
support for the war.
3. It is intended to help the Democratic Party gain more power in
the next elections.

of Defense website:

Are all these "achievements" why we went there and why we spend so much money every day trying to last long enough to really get the hell out? Did we go there to liberate Iraq? Is that the reason we went?

I dunno sounds like a bunch of big corporate oil neocon propaganda to me.

What we've done in Iraq is part of the reconstruction process. We did very similar things in both Japan and Germany. Are you upset because the US has helped initiate and partially fund some of these achievements?

When I first arrived in Iraq back in 2003 the place was a mess from Saddam's long totalitarian rule. Cell phones and satellite dishes were illegal under Saddam's rule. Before I left you saw both in abundance.

Schools, power stations, sewage treatment and water treatment plants were either falling apart or had never existed in most of Iraq during Saddam's rule. Now there are more of those facilities than the Iraqi people had ever dreamed of having. Many of them wholly funded by the Iraqi government.

All of this is important and necessary to help Iraq became a free and stable country.
