Did anyone see the piece about Iraqi children on ABC News last night?

[Virginia Dare]

I watched ABC News last night, something that I very rarely do, but they ran a piece on the children in Iraq and the hardships that they are facing that was really quite good at bringing the point home that we are creating a new generation of jihadists who weren't there before. It was superficial and succinct enough where even the most disconnected middle american would get it.

I'm amazed at the turn around that the MSM is having about the war, it seems to directly coincide with the GOP's.

hmmmmmmmmm.....

1. no more school

Is this the one where they showed a LOT could no longer go to school cause their dad was disabled because of war and the kids have to go to work? Since we have been there less than half can go to school.

3. I won't watch ABC.

After the path to 9/11 fairy tale and now Glenn Beck on GMA, I don't even pause on that station or any disney affiliate.

4. Yes, and it made me want to cry. Iraq had extremely high rates of educated people before the Neocons

invaded. They said that only about 30% of the children are attending school. Any body with a brain can understand that this occupation is making the world a 100 times more unsafe than it was. Guess the RW will be bashing ABC for 'not telling people about all the good stuff happening in Iraq'.
