1. TV Not Covering Iraq Casualties - or giving number of deaths!

I've noticed the past week the media seems to be downplaying Iraq news, or maybe it's since the smirk was there with his fake turkey!

2. The media wants to make money

And they're not going to make money reporting American casualties, day after day, week after week, month after month. Our men and women in uniform are being forgoten. There's a war going on, and nobody's noticing.

3. The much touted Iron hammer had little effect

...who wants to discuss military failure and the forthcoming escalation of fighting during the holiday shopping season with all its false mirth?
