Now on to Iraq and the lopsided Liberal Media reporting. Other than those of us who have been to Iraq, no one knows all of the good going on there. I can tell you that I personally have been on many good will missions in Iraq. But that is never reported. You all do not know how may schools we visited to give those poor children the much needed supplies that the schools cannot afford to give them. No one knows of the many projects we either assisted in or funded to get their infrastructure back in working order - things like irrigation systems for their villages, or the cleaning up of the existing water supplies they have, or the repairing of the electric power plants, or the repairing and building of schools and hospitals or pipelines to carry oil. Yet it is other Arab men who are destroying these things, not us. But no one tells us that. Nope, no one is really aware that any of that is happening. I bet if you did a man on the street interview, maybe 1 out of 20 folks MIGHT know of these things, and I would bet that it is only because they were either there or they know someone who was who told them this. Yes, I watch the Communist News Network, local news and the only real unbiased new channel - Fox news - and I cannot believe how lopsided their stories are. All they can focus on is how many soldiers are being killed each day. Yeah death happens. You accept that risk when you VOLUNTEER for the military. And if anyone joined in the last three + years they are either retarded or just not paying attention if they think that they are not going to Iraq or Afghanistan. Those of us in the military have to put up with all of this liberal propaganda every day, especially in my home state of California. We hear it every day and put up with it every day but yet we still put on the uniform and we still wait for our orders to go overseas again (twice for me now) because we are hopeful that what we are doing will make a difference in the world. Now I seem to recall when I was in Iraq the first time during Desert Storm, we were sitting south of An Nasaria during the cease fire. We heard someone telling us that Iraqi soldiers were killing civilians, so we trained the sights of our tanks onto the town and I personally saw Iraqi soldiers killing innocent people. One image that keeps coming back to me and giving my nightmares was watching a soldier take a small child of about 8 years of age and dipping him into a barrel of acid. He pulled the kid out and tossed him onto the street and his mother could not even touch him lest she get burned too. OH, and since we were at a cease fire, we could not shoot them because they were not shooting at us. Yeah, a bunch of peace loving fuckers for sure. These people were ordered to do this by Saddam Insane. In the US Army, if a General or even the President ordered me to do that, I could respectfully decline such an immoral order and actually be justified in reporting him to higher ups. Scores of innocent folks in Iraq were killed, imprisoned and just up and disappeared for no reason at all. People were not allowed to talk bad about Saddam in public because no one knew who the spies were. If caught talking back they were killed immediately in the streets. My point is, you fight fire with fire. So if the so called peace loving Iraqi's want to try to kill us because we are doing them a favor, fine, I have no qualms killing them back. In fact, I enjoyed it the last time I was there (last year). Getting rid of bad people is a good thing. So let the world's despot leaders look at this video and remember this video when they think that they can take us on or sucker punch us. God Bless the Unites States of America and everyone in it, even the liberals. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Tangorre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 30, 2006 6:56 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Pic Of Hussein W/ Noose From: Loathe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I would've paid to be there and be the one to do it.
