Iwo Jima, If Covered By The Media Today ... (Very Graphic Heavy)
October 2004
| Zell Miller
Posted on 12/10/2005 2:10:06 PM PST by Zacs Mom
Like most everyone here I loath the biased and negative manner in which the MSM reports the news from Iraq. I recently rediscovered an editorial Zell Miller had written back in October of 2004 describing what it would be like if TODAYS media had covered the battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. I don't see that this essay was ever posted to FR so what follows is Mr. Miller's insightful speculation ~ only now it is illustrated with actual images of this horrendous battle to win a foothold in the Pacific.

I am currently in Al Asad in Western Iraq and the Marines are outstanding. They know their mission and I hear no complaints. They are very professional and proud of what they are doing. I am so proud of these young men that it hurts sometimes. We are doing great things and it's never reported.

"Liberalism is a serious, possibly terminal, mental disorder."
Let us hope that we can strike the word "possibly" from your statement one day and substitute "inevitably". All Liberals who realize their insane and murderous delusions welcomed back warmly to reality of course.

Don't forget this one.
CUTIE: (real name is Jane Fonda)
"As a murderous mercenary thug killing for Big Oil and the Ruling Class don't you realize that the Japanese are just trying to protect the people of East Asia from American Imperialism? Why do you do such evil? Why don't you shoot your officers? What is that long sharp bayonet on your Springfield for, to stab Asian babies? Don't you realize that if you understood what Communism really is you would get down on your knees and pray for a Communist America? Don't you think all of those dead Marines deserved what they got?"
An answer, a dream of justice:
"Why don't you come visit? I would be happy to show you what this bayonet is for. Perhaps you would like to wait until we get back instead?"
Oh, such sweet dreams.
I guess I am still a little mad. Just can't, won't forget those dead guys. Don't get me wrong, I am not mad about myself I don't think. Ancient history in my life.
Our dead guys, badly hurt guys waiting to die, that still makes me very angry. Throw away our lads lives so you "people" could force our surrender when the war was won. Those "people" are trying this same s**t all over again. I am getting real tired of this.

Oh oh, Marines are always complaining, but I know what you're saying.
I am so proud of these young men that it hurts sometimes.
I feel your pain ... wish I could be with them again. Semper Fi ...
