Do You Know--and Is It True ??

[Pennville_Bill]

<hr size="1">
Do you know?

I didn't know!

How could we?

Did you know that 47 countries' have 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 educational structure consists of 20 Universities,46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, all currently operating?


Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United State s in January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program? Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational?


They have 5 - 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.


Did you know that Iraq's Air Force 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 will 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 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?


Did you know there are 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 first 2 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?

OUR MEDIA WOULDN'T TELL US!


Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.

Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes:

It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United States thus minimizing consequent support, and it is intended to discourage American citizens.

The LIbeRATs and their groupies in the MSM are hoping for a defeat in Iraq. They want to see the lives of over 3000 US soldiers (and the lives of the soldiers of other Coalition members) be wasted. They want the people of Iraq to be betrayed and abandoned and left to the tender mercies of the "insurgents". They want to destroy the US' reputatation as a friend in time of need. They are obsessed with selling out their country to our barbarian enemies.

Why? Here's the answer.

<table align="center" bgcolor="black" bordercolor="CCCCCC" border="4" cellpadding="8"><tr><td><div align="center"><font face="Verdana" color="ff8080" size="7"><b><u><i>PRESIDENT</i></u><br><font color="white">George W.</font> <font color="8080ff">Bush</font><font size="4"><br></font></b> </font></div></td></tr></table>

They loathe this man with an all-consuming, psychotic hatred, and they would sacrifice America to those who lust to destroy her and kill her people if they could blame George W. Bush for it. I state flatly that the RATs and their media toadies would welcome another 9/11 or worse if they could use it against President Bush.

They are loathsome, America-bashing, Bush-hating scum, but worse, they are traitors in the truest sense of the word. And at one time we dealt with traitors in the manner that they merited.

Ah yes. Some good news that is clouded by Leftist media and Liberals.
Good post, Bill.

Sounds like life is better in Iraq than in several U.S. inner-cities, including Washington, DC.

I second that. In fact, I've been saying it for a long time now.

I believe they would have done the same thing to any Republican who'd dare to defeat them in an election. Being out of power just makes them hysterical. Just so happens, Bush was the guy we voted in, so he's the target of all their smear and bile. And don't feel slighted ... they hate all of us with conservative values.

All of those accomplishments by Americans over in Iraq listed above, don't surprise me one bit. Of course, we didn't know. There's been around 150,000 AMERICANS over there in that primitive armpit for almost four years, and yet, I've never heard anything positive reported in the MSM. It's not possible that with so many Americans there, countless good things haven't happened. Another thought, with the additional 20,000 troops being sent into battle, at the same time, the traitorous, leftist, media should be thrown out. :yes2:

[Maggie_T]

In a perfect world, the drive-by media would be executed for treason, RED.

However, seeing as how this is a grossly imperfect world, the traitors will continue to spew their hatred for Bush as well as for their own country.

[DoctorDoom]

Just so happens, Bush was the guy we voted in, so he's the target of all their smear and bile.The major reason for their monomaniacal hatred of Bush is that to this day they refuse to accept that he won in Florida in 2000. And went Ohio went for him in 2004, it just inflamed them further. They are obsessed with the notion that he is not a legitimate president, and their holy-grail quest is to destroy him.

I don't disagree, but the left will use any excuse to legitimize their insanity. They thought they had it all figured out, and then all of a sudden, a Republican wins. Trouble now is, maybe they do have it figured out a la the November election. They have exposed themselves as America haters and traitors, and yet, because of non-stop media lies, they won control of the House and Senate. This will be their continued strategy. Bush, with use of the bully pulpit, could have exposed them and put them in their place starting a few years ago. He chose not to, and here we are. Bad move. :sad:

[Joe Btsflk]

I hate Bush for what he said about our most sacred document:

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7779.shtml

He could have said that about The Bible and I wouldn't have hated him as much.

When He starts rounding up and throwing people in jails for being "Enemy Combatants" I expect to be at the front of the line. No Habeous Corpus, no lawyer, no trial, just locked up until we rot. He has already set up the LAWS??? to do it and all that he needs is something that he can call a "National Emerency" to declare "Martial Law!" BYE BYE BILL OF RIGHTS!!!

[DesertFox]

I don't believe that happened. This is the first I've ever heard of it. The Left would have gone to town on it and we've heard nothing from them. I've never even heard of that reporter.

Do you have more on this? Corroboration by someone else? Doug Thompson doesn't even provide any links.

[DesertFox]

I went back to your link, Joe, and went to its Home Page (http://www.capitolhillblue.com/). Here's what I found in the middle left of the page: Time to remove a dictator. The time has come to stop talking. The time has come to act. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi must remove the shackles from her colleagues who want to impeach a President who has, with the help of Congress, overthrown the government of this country and established - for all practical purposes - a dictatorship that answers to no one.Whatever may be wrong with Bush, he in no way qualifies as a dictator and our govt, with all its many flaws, in no way qualifies as a dictatorship.

Your source is loony.

[Lubbock]

Anyone who believes that is a candidate for a straight jacket and a rubber room. A check up from the neck up.

That "article' [POS Lie] is from September, 2006.

Fox is so right. If the President had said this, it would still be leading every newscast, world wide, morning, noon and night.

EDIT: I think what we've got here is a fugitive from the DU, a Bush Hating Drive By Poster. He's probably timing himself to see how long it takes him to get banned so he can go back and brag about it.

I agree. We have another leftist troll who is willing to post any lie about President Bush that he can dig up from the sewers. That "article" is an obvious lie.

[DesertFox]

I don't think he's a Leftist troll. I think he's a paleocon who can't (or won't) make necessary distinctions.

However, I could be wrong. :D

[Beowulf]

BYE BYE BILL OF RIGHTS!!!
Joe, you are absolutely right as Democrats want to:
-Do away with your right to bear arms!
-Do away with your free speech rights.
-Choice to them is to allow to slaughter the innocent unborn of this country.
-Supress religious rights.

But how conveniently the Freedom of the Press is left alone. How else will the Left ruin this country with it's banterings of hatred?

[DoctorDoom]

Doug Thompson doesn't even provide any links.DT used to be a staunch, fearless right-winger. For whatever reason, he and ReaderRant have turned left. That's a damned sham, cuz I used to haunt that board.

Bush says "I dont care it's just a peice of GD paper." No other reference source can be found on the President saying this, at least that I can find The only one is this looney tune Doug Thompson. No credible source sited, no evidence to a legitimate media outlet, nothing. If anyone else has found anything legit, correct me.

[DesertFox]

No others exist. You got it right. It's as if you, or I, set up our own site and declared that George W. Bush came from the Andromeda Galaxy in a souped up C5A. We could post pictures and invent dialogue to add verisimilitude. People could then link to us as proof that the Bush family is an alien species from Out There, and we could link to them as proof of our soundness as a source.
