Ain't it a shame our liberal news media won't print this kind of stuff.
I guess our world is in the shitter until after the election !
As usual, the good news goes unreported.
Tremendous re-enlistment in Baghdad......never made main stream media...guess it doesn't fit with their reporting of the hollow force, poor morale, etc. For those who have been in the Al Faw Palace you'll have a better estimation of the number of people crammed in the rotunda.
Here is a reenlistment ceremony from Baghdad on the 4th of July. Somehow this did not make it onto network news broadcasts. Attached are pictures of what is reputedly the 'largest re-enlistment ceremony ever held in military history'.
The ceremony was held July 4, 2008 at Al Faw Palace, Baghdad, Iraq. General Petraeus officiated.
A pizzeria in Chicago donated 2000 pizzas that were made (frozen), shipped on Sunday, arrived in Baghdad Wednesday and were fed to the troops on the 4th. Oh, by the way, the media did report on the 2000 pizzas...just not what they were for.

If all you want is state sponsored good news..go to China. Not a single piece of bad news has escaped from there during the Olympics.

So out of 130,000 troops in Iraq, about 3,000 participated in a re-enlistment ceremony on July 4th? Our nation's birthday?
Hate to break it to you, but that seems kind of small.

That right. While people all over the western world know what the Downing Street Memo is, most americans are unaware of it. Why? Because of the "liberal" media".
Anyone who rerads a newspaper inb Europe is aware of "Curveball". Americans think it is something a pitcher does.
Most rationale people believe that is wrong to send our beloved troops into a war without a good reason.
This anonymous (Cowardly) poster attacks and runs - exactly what he preaches against.
Thats fine, anonymous poster. I want you to support our troops. Vote for Barak Obama, because according to you, he will raise taxes. And that is what we need to do - raise taxes because not 1 nickel of this bloddy war has been paid for.
How often is THAT reported in the Liberal media? Actually it is reported, because it is from the GAO and therefore reliable information.

Just think, every one of those re-enlistees will receive a check from Uncle Sam for $10,000.00, and These re-enlistment bonuses are tax free. You don't hear that in the conservative press.
