Yes, what you wrote here, I see as exactly right: I don't have any problem linking the WOT to Iraq since AQ is fighting the Americans and the INF in Iraq. But for some reason a lot of Americans (and Canadians) have bought the con job of the drive by media and the Rats.
The reason we needed to go into Iraq was because it was a terrorist state, training 2,000 terrorists a years, holding 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium (whatever do terrorists do with that material?), giving sanctuary to other terrorists -- BUT THE MEDIA IGNORES THE STORY TO MAKE BUSH LOOK BAD.
Exactly.
This whole mission in Iraq has been so bady misrepresented and distorted by the media from the beginning. The media knows the positive things and progress that are going on here because you just can't miss it. They just flatly refuse to acknowledge it or report it, because as you said, they do not want this perceived as a success.
It goes completely against their leftist agenda.
