With all the bad we hear from the mainstream media about Iraq. It makes me sick to think that most people take what the AP says to heart. I've been doing other reading, and googling, and have found quite a bit about the good news from Iraq.
Here's a few.

If you google, good news in Iraq, you get about 46 million hits. Many of them are very enlightening.

I'm copying and pasting many of these links to my friends in emails. We have got to get this kind of information out now. Before Pelosi and Reid really cause some major damage.

If you want, you can copy/paste the above links into emails.

Supply and Demand dictates that prices will continue to rise with demand and soon some areas may not get any. We need to start building and drilling now or shut up about the price of gas.

Recently they erected a nude, anatomically correct chocolate statue of jesus( (called my sweet lord) in new york under the guise of art. I want to carve the same kind of thing out of a block of processed ham in the likeness of mohamed. Think it'll fly?

I ask this because of the new, mandatory compliance of a national ID card, the coming, forced passport usage for leaving and re-entering the country.
TERRORISTS who are NOT US citizens are causing the trouble (IF YOU believe the official version, that is), so why the tightening up of security for AMERICANS?!
The way I see it is this:
Passing a law will never stop anything! If it could, I would be all for it!
Taking away the freedoms that we are acknowledged to have (note that I did not say given) by the US Constitution, only serves to make us weaker, as a nation.
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS NEVER WANTED A CENTRAL GOVERNMENT THAT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO CONQUER ITS OWN PEOPLE!
"we hold these truths to be SELF evident" that when a government is so oppressive and suffocating, that the people MUST pull it down!
It is funny to me to see that the communist and nazi tactics are blooming freely in the US, as many former red-block countries are embracing the freedom we SUPPOSEDLY have.

How many of you realize that the fur on your jacket or coat is obtained with pure torture of the animals. The pictures below touched my heart and soul. In a modern world, how does such cruelty go on?

Please make people aware of this attrocity. If demand for fur stops, then supply of it will stop or at least slow.

I am asking cause if they do then why the hell can't people Like this Jackson character get over the fact that slavery was much much long ago and forgiveness should have been granted by now.

The Jews were slaves and they were tortured and killed in mass numbers.

Many, including me, aren't really thrilled about Iraq, Bush, the war on terror. Yet many, including me, feel we must stand united against terrorism. How can ordinary citizens unite and defend our country from terrorism? Support the military? I do. the President? I want to but he is a yahoo.

Here's a question for Americans...
How many of you believe you have the right to keep weapons in your homes and use them if there is a need? and how many of you believe that it is this exact right that makes weapons so easy to come across in America and the reason that you have more gun related crimes, deaths and murder sprees than any other country?
Australia had one massacre in Port Arthur - after this there was a massive gun amisty where everyone handed in their weapons to their local police station, gun laws were made extremely strict and there has not been another such incident since... how many school and work place massacres will there be before the citizens of USA demand a change?

Next week the dems are going to force another abomination on us and make us even more susceptible to another 9/11 when they try to strip money from our intelligence gathering capability with their Intelligence Authorization bill. If you have not heard about it, find out quick before the socialists in the democratic congress cause another 9/11.

I have sent emails to my representatives that this must not stand, that AMericas security is too important for the commies to expose us to this level of danger.

The study team also found that long and repeated deployments were increasing troop mental health problems.

But Maj. Gen. Gale Pollock, the Army's acting surgeon general, said the team's "most critical" findings were on ethics.

_Sixty-two percent of soldiers and 66 percent of Marines said that they knew someone seriously injured or killed, or that a member of their team had become a casualty.

_The 2006 adjusted rate of suicides per 100,000 soldiers was 17.3 soldiers, lower than the 19.9 rate reported in 2005.

_Only 47 percent of the soldiers and 38 percent of Marines said noncombatants should be treated with dignity and respect.

_About a third of troops said they had insulted or cursed at civilians in their presence.

_About 10 percent of soldiers and Marines reported mistreating civilians or damaging property when it was not necessary. Mistreatment includes hitting or kicking a civilian.

_Forty-four percent of Marines and 41 percent of soldiers said torture should be allowed to save the life of a soldier or Marine.

_Thirty-nine percent of Marines and 36 percent of soldiers said torture should be allowed to gather important information from insurgents.

In spain a judge indicted three of our AMerican soldiers for the death of a reporter who was hiding with Iraqi military during the first days of the invasion and Italy has wanted posters Army Spc. Mario Lozano who fired on an erratic vehicle at an Iraqi checkpoint killing Italian Nicola Calipari.

How dare they even try to prosecute our soldiers for defending themselves? If you have not heard of these, you have to ask why is the MSM hiding these indictments of our brave soldiers when they would not even send troops to help destroy the terrorist in Iraq.

only for those with an open mind

This is outrageous and AMericans should be up in indignation over this abuse. Why do the leftists in AMerica support this?

They say they support the troops, but they LIE.

I am disgusted at the media in this country, they do not support AMerica and I will not support their sponsors.

Its so obvious all they care about is winning in 2008 rather than solving the problems facing this nation and getting something done for the America people. Come 2008 we will look back and it will be plain as day what the deomcrats did and why, yet again, they shouldn't be allowed back into the White House.

Thank you! And may God continue to bless these United States!!!

The Democrats have been sending the President bills funding the troops as he requested and attaching a pull out date from Iraq trying to force him to flip flop on his decsion to stick to the war on Terrorism. The Democrats are on a one way course of defeat and are unable to back off since they are so heavily invested in it and hatred of President Bush.
