What is wrong with the media?
They cover mainly --or only-- defeatist talkers and antiwar rallies.
U.S. Army military intelligence officer gets 'five' from a child after questioning Iraqi bedouins in the desert of central Iraq Sunday, March 30, 2003. The bedouins welcomed the American soldiers with white flags.
Informative posters line the wall of a suspected Iraqi nuclear biological chemical (NBC) training facility discovered by British Royal Marines at an Iraqi naval port north of Umm Qsar, March 30, 2003. Gas masks, chemical warfare suits, training posters and vials of chemicals labeled in Russian and English were discovered.
Iraqis seething with pathological hatred
for the US and Israel ripped an American flag
after Friday prayers outside the mosque
of Al Azhar University in Cairo.
IMHO ... Other than the normal blame America first crowd, this time the media hates Bush so much it blinds them completely. The Dumpocraps are toast if the war goes well, and they know it. So the media has to make it sound like we won, but it was real close. The administration almost blew it, but the troops pulled us through.
BTW look at the market picture. Looks like amplified TV antennas are the big thing going in Baghdad. Local reception must be spotty.

God bless our troops overseas who are generating the content of your work!

I don't see how these people can hate President Bush more than I hated Clinton. I had nothing but the greatest support for our troops even under Clinton's misdirection and NEVER would have made derogatory remarks about them or their actions. I also would have NEVER attended an anit-America rally.
I just don't get it.

An RAF loadmaster in a Puma helicopter aims his general purpose machine gun on an Iraqi truck as soldiers of the 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment carry out vehicle searches for weapons in southern Iraq Sunday, March 30, 2003. Paratroopers patrol the skies and are able to drop a platoon of men onto the road or desert track ahead of a car to facilitate the random stops.
My son and I look forward to your pics everyday! Keep up the good work we appriciate it.
And they wonder why people are going to Fox. It doesn't take a rocket scieintist to figure this out.
Undated but recent image released Sunday, March 30, 2003, of a British soldier of 2CS enjoying a cup of tea with an Iraqi man near Basra, southern Iraq.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ping list.
Thank you, Diogenesis, and the other nameless volunteers. Really appreciate your effort and time. Photo selections and the captions are terrific.
It would be a great addition to your compilation plus I'm looking for it. 8^)
The rally was one mile from my house. It was the first one I attended and will go to the next one on 5 April, with my homepade poster.
After several days of (MRE) Meal Ready to Eat and chow hall food, soldiers stand in line at the Subway consession stand which reopened at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, Friday March 28, 2003. The consession stands bring a touch of home for the soldiers supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.
A British Royal Air Force ground crew member marshals out a Harrier GR7 at their base in Kuwait, prior to its mission over Iraq, March 29, 2003.
