Iraq missions that work out are missing from mainstream media
Did you see the big headline or watch the top-of-the-newscast story about the success of our sons and daughters in Samarra, Iraq?
Of course, you didn’t.
I found mention deep in stories from The Christian Science Monitor and The Associated Press. But it took e-mails from Marine officers in Iraq to relay the importance of this positive news — so I could tell you.
…
“The Najaf shrine — HUNDREDS of dead women and children were brought out after Sadr left,” Rose wrote. “They (Sadr’s supporters) rounded them up during the battle and brought them in to be executed. Why? Because they anticipated the Americans would eventually enter the shrine and walk into a media ambush. We never went in. The people of Najaf love us right now because of that. They hate Sadr and want him dead.
”Have you heard that one yet (in the media)?”
I wish there were some way to get Chrenkoff’s “Good News from Iraq” series into the offline media. Opinion Journal runs it but I want to see some of this stuff on Fox or CNN.
