"We are fighting a war in which the survival of our way of life is at stake."

A simple, honest and straight forward remark. And sadly, far too many American's are completely unaware of it.

Truth is on our side, and, ultimately, truth wins out.

That is........IF........the TRUTH gets out!!

How to fight terrorism in the media (Rumsfeld) The Daily Star (Lebanon) ^ | 24 February 2006 | Donald H. Rumsfeld

This is a story about freedom of the press. Rumsfeld is complaining that the truth is manipulated in the Mideast media. We are fighting to keep our freedoms from Islamofascis here. I find it ironic that I have to read this story in a Lebanese paper.

There are nonetheless signs of modest progress. Soon after the devastating earthquake in Pakistan, an American public affairs team was deployed with our sizable military forces in the disaster area. They worked to help focus media attention on America's commitment to help the Pakistani people. Public opinion surveys conducted by private groups before and after the earthquake suggest that attitudes in Pakistan regarding the U.S. changed dramatically because of this new awareness.

I hope he's right. Yet if he is, I hate to think how bad it was before considering this happened after his "modest progress."

Here is an example of a terrorist media tycoon --Sumner Redstone - CBS - who has already done enough harm and damage..to our own people..he turned gangsterism into the National Culture..gun battles, crack addicted, all glorifed in MTV when he owned it along with Karmazin --you think the pimp Soros is evil--these guys are absolutely satanic.

But we have begun to adapt. In Iraq, for example, the U.S. military, working closely with the Iraqi government, has sought non-traditional means to provide accurate information to the Iraqi people. Yet this has been portrayed as "buying news." The resulting explosion of critical press stories then causes everything - all activity, all initiative - to stop. This leads to a "chilling effect" among those serving in the military public affairs field, who conclude that there is no tolerance for innovation. http://www.dailystar.com.lb

I for one would not complain if drones loaded with heavy bombloads flew into the New York Times, Washington Post and L.A. Times buildings creating complete destruction. At the same time, lethal bombs could descend on the lairs of Newsweek and Time. The U.S. would be better for it! Public discourse would be infinitely improved.

Indeed, the longer it takes to put a strategic communications framework into place, the more the vacuum will be filled by the enemy. ---------------------------------- so what's holding you back, get started already, get into the communications business, we need you to communicate not only with 'them' but with us!

Case in point will be. . .how many news outlets will carry this message from Rumsfeld; and how often.

Sad to have to even contemplate, where the Iraq war efforts would stand. . .now. . .if America had been united by intentions; rather than the 'Left' side, ever so determined to break the will and committment. . .of all those so committed to success in Iraq.
