Hey Ignorant World - There is PEACE in Iraq!
The mainstream media constantly depicts Iraq as a war-torn, terror-filled, Bush and Americans hating place.
The only news to ever come out of there are deaths of soldiers and civilians.
The narrative is that Iraq is a failed state, a quagmire, a reason to hate the imperiliast, arrogant, inhuman USA.
And you believe them.
…
…
…
HEEELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~!!!
This is the MAINSTREAM MEDIA we’re talking about!
Any net-savvy, blogophilic Malaysian should know by now that the MSM cannot be trusted to tell the actual truth!
You want to know the truth? This is the truth:
- Iraq is regaining peace.
- The terrorists are killed and driven far away from towns and villages.
- The economy and infrastructure is being rebuilt.
- Schools and markets are reopening.
- People are resuming normals lives.
- Children play on the streets.
- The Iraqis love the Marines and hate Al Qaeda, not the other way round.
Yes, they LOVE the Marines and US troops - I kid you not!
In fact, the whole situation is comparable to Malaya during the Malayan Communist Emergency - the British/American troops kill the Communists/terrorists, and their friendly social efforts win the support of the local Malayans/Iraqis.
You want proof? Read the blogs of Michael J. Totten and Michael Yon - actual journalists who actually stay in Iraq day and night, unlike the lie-beral MSM reporters (CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera etc) who fly in, do a story based on info from a terrorist conspirator, and fly out the same day.
They have excellent writing, lots of coverage of real-life battles, and tons of photos like the following of happy, cheeky children and safe villages:
Above from Michael J. Totten: The Liberation of Karmah parts 1 & 2, and that’s just two posts!
And how about action-packed battles where market bombing, civilian targeting terrorists get smashed by superior firepower?
Read:
The Predator peered down on the terrorists planting the bomb. There were too many targets for one Hellfire missile, and it’s better to conserve the weapon when possible, since the Predator must fly far to reload.
A group of four Kiowa Warrior pilots were only a few minutes away from the enemy, but their helicopters were on the ground and the engines were cold, while the pilots were waiting in a building near the runway, playing Guitar Hero to pass the time.
A soldier interrupted the Guitar Hero session, telling the pilots to get in the air. Orders would come over the radio. The pilots abandoned Guitar Hero and raced out the door into the cold night to their OH-58D Kiowa Warriors, economy-sized helicopters that would make a Ford Pinto seem spacious.
Lopez and Boise could not see the enemy, but the Predator could, and so they set up for a “remote” Hellfire shot, meaning they would fire the weapon “blind” in the direction of the target, and the missile would “lock” onto the laser reflection as it approached.
The Predator was lazing the target, invisibly marking the group of six men. Boise launched the Hellfire…
VROOOSSHHHH!!!!!
The Predator was striking the gavel for the Hellfire to deliver justice, but the terrorists apparently realized the verdict a fraction of a second too late. The detonation appeared silently on the Predator thermal, while seconds later the sounds of the explosion rumbled over the base. The remains of the terrorists glowed hot on the infrared imagery.
Total time from playing Guitar Hero to getting airborne and delivering justice was an astounding twelve minutes. Apparently at least five terrorists were killed, while at least one escaped, though he probably needs new eardrums and might ask for a raise before trying that again.
Above from Michael Yon: Guitar Heroes.
See more excerpts at Excerpts From Michael Yon’s and Michael J. Totten’s Articles on the True Situation in Iraq.
I also recommend that you read Michael Yon: The Hands of God, where you can see the immediate contrast between those ‘Great Satan imperialist Americans’ who protect and help the Iraqi civilians, and the ‘holy and just warriors of Al Qaeda’ who intentionally target mosques where no foreign troops are even in sight.
Death, horror and misery in Iraq? YA RITE. You seriously have to be a total blindo ignoramus to ignore the evidence right before your eyes.
More proof - Check out these easy-to-understand graphs and charts with your own eyes.
Do us all a favour - forward this post to your friends and family. Let them know that Iraq is a suceeding state, better off than the past 20 years under Saddam and the Baathists.
Because if we leave it to the MSM, it will be 10 years after Iraq returns to perfect normalcy before we find out that Iraq is finally experiencing peace.
But will you speak the truth? Or are you actually like many of our local and world politicians, who have a vested interest in Iraq… And actually want to see Iraqi civilians dying, Al Qaeda winning, and peace disappearing…
Just to show up Bush and the Americans?
How selfish of them. I honestly hope you are aren’t.
Speak the truth. Spread the word. America is doing for Iraq what it did for South-East Asia during the Vietnam War years and what the Commonwealth soldiers did for Malaya during the Communist Emergency years.
Spending their own money, material and human lives to help bring peace and development to a nation while the rest of the world smears and demonizes them.

First of all the two journalists that you quote offer views that are often shared in the main street media because, hmm let’s see, they actually are part of the main street media. They’re writing is featured in the major newspapers and leading magazines. Maybe you’re problem is that you watch too much TV and don’t actually bother to read newspapers, like our great President. But besides that point, Michael Totten describes himself as being part neocon, and Michael Yon is a former special forces soldier who says that he does not consider himself a journalist. While there is some peace in Iraq, you cannot possibly claim that after five years, hundreds of thousands of dead civilians, thousands of dead US soldiers, and hundreds of billions of dollars spent, that Iraq is peaceful and everything is gravy. That would be very stupid.

So Amir, what do you suggest? That the US pull out now and leave Iraqi civilians to Al Qaeda’s market bombs and protection rackets?
What my post is saying is that Iraq is nowhere near the quagmire that the mainstream media paints it as. As I say in my first bullet point:
Iraq is regaining peace.
Not that it has perfect peace already, but that it is on the way. Heck, it has a lower violent death rate than South Africa!
There is actually a chance for success, for peace, for victory - and a chance to be much better than Iraq was under Saddam.
And btw, the majority of liberal controlled mainstream media is positively ANTI good-news-from-Iraq, contrary to your assertations.
MSM Iraq war reporting: Good news is no news
The good news from Iraq is not fit to print
NO NEWS FROM IRAQ IS GOOD NEWS FROM IRAQ
When Good News is No News

I`m waiting for Amir`s response eagerly.
Or is he waiting for Mahdi Obama, before he responds.

History will prove itself.
It’s hard to see the wisdom of dropping a bomb at Hiroshima. But many decades down the road, people may start to see differently.
It may be too early to paint a conclusion on whether or not the price paid for Iraq is worth it. History will make that conclusion itself after a few more decades.

Decades is too long. The results are already being made manifest.
But it`s right to say there`ll be violence for time to come, but certainly not on the scale it was esp since Saddam had emptied all the prisons and let the inhabitants lose on the public.
To add to that were the genuinely holy warriors who filtered in thru Saudi Arabia and Iran who were both intent on controlling Iraq.

Scott, first of all I did not suggest “we need to get out of Iraq” so don’t imply that I did. I actually think that we need to stay in Iraq and fix the country, and that just leaving would be a disaster. But just because I believe that does not mean I have to limit myself to only reading news stories that agree with my opinion. Of course it’s bad over there, if it wasn’t we wouldn’t need 150,000 troops on the ground. I just don’t understand how you can cite a couple of blogs and think that the rest of the media professionals are just out to tell lies and only these brave “conservative” bloggers tell the truth.
Second of all, you once again resorted to showing me irrelevant sources to back up your theories. Do what I initially told you to and read an actual newspaper instead of sifting through online blogs and propaganda machines.
Third of all, a majority of the “LIBERAL” controlled media is actually owned and operated by Conservatives. From major newspapers to cable news stations, all of them are tilting to a more conservative point-of-view. Want proof? Glenn Beck on CNN, Joe Scarborough on MSNBC, etc.

My skepticism of the media comes from a long tradition of their twisting the truth to forward their own agenda.
1) The Boston Globe doesn’t count as a ‘newspaper’? Then how about the Associated Press?
2) Why do you assume that traditional media is more trustworthy than new media? I mean, just take a look at some of the 101 documented dishonesties by the mainstream media.
3) I seriously doubt that news stations other than Fox lean towards the Left. Fox always gets singled out by liberals as being a ‘propaganda machine for the Republican Party.’ Just look at the MoveOn morans protesting Fox’s Conservativeness.
Which, btw, was deemed the most balanced media by a nonpartisan study.
So if super-Lefties all view Fox as by far the most Right-leaning media, and an independent study shows that Fox is actually the most balanced media….
Doesn’t that show that, a few Conservative employees or no, none of the other media are more Right-leaning than Fox? (i.e. They are all more Left-leaning)?
I suppose that doesn’t really count as a good study, so I shall dig up something more concrete later.

Re: Glenn Beck on CNN, it is important to note that CNN got him to come in when they began to lose the viewers as they were perceived as ultra-Left.
The BBC is yet to do its damage control act.

Ref: Cable Channel Nods to Ratings and Leans Left
MSNBC has taken off the mask and revealed itself as a lefty network. The NYT dutifully reports this and touts the channel’s ratings results.
………………………………………………………………………………………
Riding a ratings wave from “Countdown With Keith Olbermann,” a program that takes strong issue with the Bush administration, MSNBC is increasingly seeking to showcase its nighttime lineup as a welcome haven for viewers of a similar mind.
………………………………………………………………………………………
Lest there be any doubt that the cable channel believes there is ratings gold in shows that criticize the administration with the same vigor with which Fox News’s hosts often champion it, two NBC executives acknowledged yesterday that they were talking to Rosie O’Donnell about a prime-time show on MSNBC.
_________________________________________________________
Oddly, for a story centered on TV ratings gold, there’s only one mention of any actual ratings. And even that’s vague at best.
………………………………………………………………………………………
The channel has done so much as Fox News did beginning in 1996, when the president was Bill Clinton, a Democrat. On some nights recently, Mr. Olbermann has even come tantalizingly close to surpassing the ratings of the host he describes as his nemesis, Bill O’Reilly on Fox News, at least among viewers ages 25 to 54, which is the demographic cable news advertisers prefer. Most of the time, though, Mr. O’Reilly outdraws Mr. Olbermann by about 1.5 million viewers over all at the same hour, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Double thanks for the proof, hutchrun.
Any more pwnage is of course appreciated!
April 6, 08 at
hmm, so you’re saying that “countdown with keith olberman”, the most obvious Liberal show on TV is getting good ratings? I wonder what that could mean???? maybe that a lot of people agree with olberman?? that of course would be an example of the evil liberals gaining control of this county!!! I guess the good old days of FOX being the only partisan TV station are over.

Well, almost half the country did not vote Bush in 2000. So you might say that a lot of people are liberally inclined.
Although the anti-Bush voters dropped in 2004, and that was in the midst of the Iraq War, so you might also say that more people support the war over time.
No? Yes? No?

I don’t see how these views correspond with the fact that Christian clergy are being killed.

I apologize for that boo-boo. It was an accident of pressing the “Enter” button. Anyways, while we’re at it, please do pray for the wife and congregation of the late Fr. Adel Youssef, an Assyrian Orthodox priest who was killed recently by an extremist.

cmnunis, it is sad that Christians are being targeted by intolerant terrorists in Iraq.
Yet for decades before the present day, Christians already faced persecution and discrimination.
If Iraq can make it through the next few years, there is a good chance for it to experience real peace, prosperity and religious tolerance.
Iraq isn’t there yet - but if we give the Iraqi civilians a chance, they can reach that goal.
(But chillingly… If Iraq is rebuilt and oil starts to flow while the other oil states are embroiled in conflict (e.g. Iran), then it can eventually become a world-class economic player.
And Babylon will rise as the End Times approach… Chill~~~…
