The Good News From Iraq = We can't hear it—the bombs are too loud...
'I can't keep up with the administration's Iraq candor campaign. On the one hand the president is making a show of being more realistic about the chaotic situation there. "I understand how tough it is," he told reporters at his press conference Tuesday. "You make it abundantly clear how tough it is. I hear it from our troops. I read the reports every night." On the other hand, he and his advisers continue to blame the media for presenting too negative a story. Dick Cheney argued on Face the Nation on March 19 that Americans don't recognize the great progress in Iraq because the media create a false perception by focusing on car bombings in Baghdad and not on all the good things happening in the other 15 provinces.' http://www.slate.com/id/2138622/?nav=fo

2. Not to mention the screaming.
Edited on Sun Mar-26-06 10:15 AM by 4morewars
The way the children scream when the white phosphorous sticks to their skin.

The way the 'insurgents' scream when the electrodes are applied to their genitals.

Oh ! And the screaming of survivors, who see their entire families vaporized or crushed by the 'shock and awe' of the american bombers.

If only these Iraqis would stop screaming !

THEN we could hear ALL the great things this war brings us !

These people are ruining the war for dick cheney.
