The "good news" out of Iraq. My take.
With thanks to all of DU. And hopefully no plagiarism here goes:
Sending this out as a ltte. feel free to comment and add.

The Administration with the stranglehold on our country is blaming the problems in Iraq on the Media's poor reporting. According to the White House, the 2300 plus deaths and chaos that Mr. Bush's war of choice has heaped upon us is because they just report the bad and not all the good that is taking place there. Let me help him out.

The top 20 good news items from Iraq:
1. Coffin market is raking it in.
2.Utility bills are cheap.
3.The used car market is booming.
4.Stories about Iraq keep indicted Republicans out of the news cycle.
5.The medical technology research into reattaching severed limbs is in breakthrough mode.
6 .American home remodeling for the handicap business is thriving.
7. Night time body unloading at airports is becoming very efficient.
8. Big openings in the hostage negotiator market.
9. Black veils- the new fashion statement.
10. No matter where you live there is a militia within calling distance.
11. Because of the "not so civil" war between Shites and Sunnis, our soldiers are dying at a slower daily rate.
12. Lots of land has been cleared for our permanent military bases.
13. IED bomb-making has become an art form.
14. Dick Cheney has not shot anyone over there.
15. Because of the terrorist threat we are finally tackling all those problems with our pesky Constitution and the Bill Of Rights.
16. Halliburton stock has gotten a slight bump up.
17. Rapid spiral landings at American airports is the wave of the future.
18. School papers report frat party arrests are way down.
19. The freshly trained Iraqi soldiers involved in Operation Swarmer got to show off how well their new uniforms fit.
20. Everyday we are in Iraq brings George Bush one day closer to impeachment.
