Thumbs up Did you know?

Did you know that DUE TO THE TROOPS:

47 countries have now reestablished their embassies in Iraq?
Did you know that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million
Iraqi people?
Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated,
364 schools are under rehabilitation,
263 new schools are now under construction,
and 38 new schools have been completed in Iraq?
Did you know that Iraq's higher education structure
now consists of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or
Colleges, and 4 research centers,
all currently operating?

Did you know - that Iraqi women are now allowed to attend schools?
Did you know that 25 Iraqi students
departed for the United States
in January 2005, for the re-established
Fulbright program?
Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is now operational?
That they have five (5) - 100-foot patrol craft,
34 smaller vessels, and a naval infantry
regiment.
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
and a Commando Battalion?
Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service
has over 55,000 fully trained and
equipped police officers?
Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq,
that produce over 3,500 new officers each 8 weeks?
Did you know there are now more than 1100 building projects going on
in Iraq?
They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics,
15 hospitals, 83 railroad stations, 22 oil facilities,
93 water facilities and 69 electrical facilities.
Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children
under the age of 5 have received
the series of polio vaccinations?
Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were
enrolled in primary school by mid-October?
Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone
subscribers in Iraq, and phone use has gone up 158% ?
Did you know that Iraq has
an independent media that consists of 75 radio stations,
180 newspapers and 10 television stations?
Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange
opened in June of 2004?
Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election
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.

---- All the above facts about Iraq are verifiable on the Department
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?

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.
