Despite evidence of progress on the ground in Iraq, the masters of the media — and the majority in Congress appear unwilling to desist in their attacks — and intend to continue their barrage of defeatism. The mainstream media all but ignored press releases from Iraqi and coalition commands on successes against both Iranian-backed terror cells in Baghdad's Sadr City and al Qaeda's network in northern Iraq, Salahadin, Diyala and Al Anbar provinces.

Instead of covering these stories with in-depth reporting from the front, the potentates of the press launched a "shock and awe" campaign of their own. The target? The Iraqi parliament — for taking a monthlong recess in the midst of a war.

Perhaps the press and politicians who are so outraged that the Iraqi legislature is on "vacation" should learn a bit of history. The British parliament recessed for all but one holiday — the summer of 1940 — throughout World War II. In keeping with this "democratic tradition" the U.S. Congress has done the same thing during every war we have fought — including our own Revolution.

Thye Left sure wants to lose the war, don't they? What a gaggle of disgusting slugs.

That is putting party before country. They never got over 2000 and are too little to go forward and work with President Bush.

They are going to get more Americans killed!

It is a good thing that Iraqi Parliment are able live among the people for a month.

And your so right about the media, meet someone recently going to be a Marine say that it was difficult to get any real news, I passed on the freerepublic.com and http://www.mnf-iraq.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=4&Itemid=21, what a shame the Democrat Majority Press can’t do an honest days work.
