Reporting on what has already happened is ok. That is news reporting. Problem is they like to broadcast in advance leaked planns for attack. "Sources in the pentagon say that the AirForce is planning an air strike between midnight and 6 am. They want to try and catch Osama by surprise" Is there any question why we can't find the son of a bitch when reports like this make it to the 6 o'clock news the day before the attack is supposed to happen. Do you think perhaps Osama might have someone with a satalite dish, Fox news channel, and a cell phone???

First off you can't say they would be alive today? You don't know that. Saddam has killed or ordered the killing how many of his own countrymen. Not to mention, Iran and Kuwait. I've read the same report you read and I've also read the counters that the actual number is probably well under a 1/3 of the one you spouted. How many of the Iraqis killed has a weapon in their hand? Hmmm.. report doesn't say. How many were blown up trying to install IEDs? hmm.. \n\nSo, in the end you are saying you would be happied living under Saddam? Well, he will be living in hell........ nope i won't say it.

"Right after the 24th."  That cracks me up! :o) Seriously, why would anyone compromise the security of a military deployment by posting it here?  Unless, of course, it's been reported by the likes of CNN.  And, in that case, search there.

You are so brainwashed it's not even funny.  The civilians being killed in Iraq are either being killed by their own people, or they are providing help to the terrorists and put themselves in harms way.  Before you go spouting off about things you know nothing about, try heading over to Iraq for a year.  You might come back with a different view on everything.

I think there are something like 60 murders per day in America.  Is anyone saying we should pull out of here?\n\nAnd to all those that are saying "We DO count them", I think what the questioner is referring to is the constant total on the news each night.  I think we all know war stinks and people dying stinks and we probably all respect the fallen soldiers and their families.  The thing that gets tiresome is the constant reporting of the negative news from the war designed to inflame the "peace-at-all-costs" people by saying "I told you so" and the lack of reporting on the positive effects our servicemen are having in Iraq.\n\nWhile we DO count those that die in DUI's, it's not front-page news.

Not sure what the question is?\n\nI forgot the name of that recent report that officially stated the Iraqi War had created and was still creating more terrorists. So, you make a valid point.\n\nDo I care about what has happened and this creating terrorists? Of course I do... I want us to get OUT of there.

One would think you Brits would have learned how to crush the insurgency by now, after conquering Baghdad twice in the past. Maybe the introduction of television into war makes it harder to win. It was so much easier to kill without everyone watching. Maybe if we took a page out of the Iraqi militias' book, and just stopped caring, we could wrap this thing up before Christmas.

Because they don't see that stuff on the news. News broadcasters usually only show bad things that happen in Iraq. *cough CNN *cough. They just care about their own butts and get pissed at Bush for putting soldiers in danger.\nIf you don't want to go to war..don't join the military. \nThat is the job for military people. To protect our country.\nAnd I think they're doing a damn good job at it!

Because the media needs something that sells.  With all these competing news channels, they need to keep your attention, and they do that by showing the tragedy of war.  When I was there it was "the worst time ever so far."  Now is "the worst time ever so far."  And tomorrow will be "the worst time ever so far."  4,400 (I think that's the right number- or at least it's very close) American soldiers lost their lives when they stormed the beach at Normandy- and that was in one day!!!  We haven't reached that number yet and it's been three years.  I'm not trying to reduce the deaths of today's soldiers to mere numbers; I could have been one of those numbers.  I'm just trying to help you and whoever else reads this to think for yourself, and question what you hear.

Yep. Correct.  \nBP announced today that they expect the Oil price to fall.\nThey didn't give a specific reason for this sudden announcement.\n& who do you ask?\nDo what I do & make up my own mind.\nWith the Insurgents a lil more fazed after head-honcho dead.\nThey'll be able to pump at full steam ahead instead of half-cocked of late.\n\n& once the OIL's all gone, I suppose it's too late to start debating re. the legality of the Iraq invasion again!

I am troubled by this as well.  I just turned on the talk-radio station and they said it on the news on there (that chemical weapons were found).  But I didn't see it on tv news.  I am confused about what was really found and why it isn't being reported.  \n\nIt makes me angry that only bad news is reported, not the good news that shows how hard our troops are working over there.

what i would have to say coming from one who is over here right now is the media doesnt want any one to know all the good that we are doing over here because the media precives war as bad. something the american people dont want to see no matter how well the troops are doing. they think the american public wants to think that the war is going horrible even if we are doing more good then bad. like how many reports are there of a sucessful mission as opposed to the deaths that happen. i think its just cause a few people want to see the bad to justify there unpatriotic acts.\nthats all i have to say on that.

Bush and Blair are not directly responsible for all the people dead in Iraq. Yes they did order the troops in but because thousands of people are shooting and trying to kill our soldiers all we can do is fight back.

I'm right there with you!  I heard a report that many times when our troops come home from Iraq, they are surprised and disgusted by what they here on the mainstream news.  All they report is what's going bad, and the troops know first hand what good they have done over there.
