Yet, little or none of this information has been published by the Press Corps that prides itself on bring you all the news that's important. Iraq under US led control has come further in six months than Germany did in seven years or Japan did in nine years following WWII. Military deaths from fanatic Nazi's, and Japanese numbered in the thousands and continued for over three years after WWII victory was declared. It took the US over four months to clear away the twin tower debris, let alone attempt to build something else in its place. Now, take into account that almost every Democrat leader in the House and Senate has fought President Bush on every aspect of his handling of this country's war and the post-war reconstruction; and that they continue to claim on a daily basis on national TV that this conflict has been a failure. Taking everything into consideration, even the unfortunate loss of our sons and daughters in this conflict, do you think anyone else in the world could have accomplished as much as the United States and the Bush administration in so short a period of time? Do you have any idea who that boy is ?
tell it to the dead people,the economy is up and the businessmen and banks are making record profits...tell it to the dead and their relitives.By the way did you research this or are you just repeating what's been put out?
from; http://www.caredental.com/americans091101.htm THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT IRAQ (That hasn't been fit to print or report on TV) [This was being circulated in early December of 2003, and has not been confirmed.] Since President Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1, the first battalion of the new Iraqi Army has graduated and is on active duty. Over 60,000 Iraqis now provide security to their fellow citizens. Nearly all of Iraq's 400 courts are functioning. The Iraqi judiciary is fully independent. On Monday, October 6, power generation hit 4,518 megawatts exceeding the prewar average. All 22 universities and 43 technical institutes and colleges are open, as are nearly all primary and secondary schools. By October 1, Coalition forces had rehab-ed over 1,500 schools - 500 more than scheduled. Teachers earn from 12 to 25 times their former salaries. All 240 hospitals and more than 1200 clinics are open. Doctor's salaries are at least eight times what they were under Saddam. Pharmaceutical distribution has gone from essentially nothing to 700 tons in May to a current total of 12,000 tons. The Coalition has helped administer over 22 million vaccination doses to Iraq's children. A Coalition program has cleared over 14,000 kilometers of Iraq's 27,000 kilometers of weed-choked canals which now irrigate tens of thousands of farms. This project has created jobs for more than 100,000 Iraqi men and women. Over three-quarters of prewar telephone services and over two-thirds of the potable water production has been restored. There are 4,900 full-service telephone connections. 50,000 are expected by year-end. The wheels of commerce are turning. From bicycles to satellite dishes to cars and trucks, businesses are coming to life in all major cities and towns. 95 percent of all prewar bank customers have service and first-time customers are opening accounts daily. The central bank is fully independent and Iraqi banks are making loans to finance businesses. Iraq has one of the world's most growth-oriented investment and banking laws. Iraq has a single, unified currency for the first time in 15 years. Satellite TV dishes are legal. Satellite dishes are available on almost every street corner. Foreign journalists aren't on 10-day visas paying mandatory and extortionate fees to the Ministry of Information for minders and other government spies. There is no Ministry of Information. Foreign journalists (and everyone else) are free to come and go. There are more than 170 newspapers. A nation that had not one single element of a representative government-legislative, judicial or executive - now does. In Baghdad alone residents have selected 88 advisory councils. Baghdad's first democratic transfer of power in 35 years happened when the city council elected its new chairman. Today in Iraq chambers of commerce, business, school and professional organizations are electing their leaders all over the country. 25 ministers, selected by the most representative governing body in Iraq's history, run the day-to-day business of government. The Iraqi government regularly participates in international events. Since July the Iraqi government has been represented in over two dozen international meetings, including those of the UN General assembly, the Arab League, the World Bank and IMF and, today, the Islamic Conference Summit. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs today announced that it is reopening over 30 Iraqi embassies around the world. Shia religious festivals that were all but banned, are no longer banned. For the first time in 35 years, in Karbala thousands of Shiites celebrate the pilgrimage of the 12th Imam. The Coalition has completed over 13,000 reconstruction projects, large and small, as part of a strategic plan for the reconstruction of Iraq. Uday and Queasy are dead - and no longer feeding innocent Iraqis to the zoo lions and industrial shredders, raping the young daughters of local leaders to force cooperation, torturing Iraq's soccer players for losing games, or murdering their critics. Children aren't imprisoned or murdered when their parents disagree with the government. Political opponents aren't imprisoned, tortured, executed, maimed, or are forced to watch their families die for disagreeing with Saddam. Millions of long-suffering Iraqis no longer live in perpetual terror. Neighboring states have gotten the message. Saudis will hold municipal elections in the very near future. Qatar is reforming education to give more choices to parents. Jordan is accelerating market economic reforms. The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for the first time to an Iranian -- a Muslim woman who speaks out with courage for human rights, for democracy and for peace. Saddam is gone. Iraq is free. And through it all the US, together with her true Allies, has not faltered or failed. Led by the coalition, Iraq has come further in six months than Germany did in seven years or Japan did in nine years following WW II. Military deaths from fanatic Nazis and Japanese numbered in the thousands and continued for over three years after WW II victory was declared. Now, take into account that almost every Democrat leader in the House and Senate has fought President Bush on every aspect of his handling of this country's war and the post-war reconstruction; and that they continue to claim on a daily basis on national TV that this conflict and its aftermath have been a failure. Taking everything into consideration, even the unfortunate loss of our sons and daughters in this conflict, it is doubtful that anyone else in the world could have accomplished as much as the United States and its Allies under the direction of the Bush administration in so short a period of time. Yet, little or none of this information has been published by a Press corps that prides itself on bringing you all the news that's important - to them, that is!

i'm sure you're not against dead people and actually what i'm doing is just echoing someone else's website,basically the same thing.i found this video,though obviously propaganda,supported my point of view and i thought i'd throw it out ther to see what input it stirred up.i appreciate the feedback.Gets us all thinking...
I don't think you would have gotten anything other than 'shock horror' ... Thats why i like dropping by threads like this That's what i was doing as well ... apart from the propaganda
Bullshit statistics when taken out of context. Pre-Gulf War Iraq was on its way to becoming a developed nation - all those statistics are merely comparing it to the earlier starvation the US/UN forced upon it through complete economic sanctions.
