Well, I have been stationed is Southern Iraq for almost 8 months now. Everyday I get an intelligence brief that tells me what has happened in the last 24 hours. If you think that for a minute that Basra and other Brit areas have been immune from the attacks that occur US controlled areas you see on the news, you need stop believing everything you hear in the very liberal, very biased media. AIF (Anti Iraqi Forces) and other insurgents strike the British Forces daily. Almost every day there is rocket or mortar attack against coalition positions like the Cimic house. And everyday the British hunker down and try to track the POO (Point of Origin) of the attack. US citizens don't ever see those reports because the liberal media knows that reporting attacks against other coalition forces does not support the picture that they are trying to paint, the picture that nobody wants us here. Check out this letter from a US Army Captain (no its not me). http://www.jenmartinez.com/mt/archives/001264.php/ http://www.michellemalkin.com/archives/000477.htm http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/k-soldier/b rowse/ http://www.globalspecops.com/ Do not believe what you see or hear on TV. And don't spout off unless you have been here. Weather it is Fox or CNN, liberal or conservative, the media is bullshit. I made the mistake of talking to a reporter once. She had an agenda (and a nice rack which is the only reason I talked to her and probably why she was picked to interview soldiers) and after reading the article, wondered how she could misconstrue what I said. I finally realize that she just writes what she wants to and uses soldier's names in her articles to boost her credibility. When I deployed overseas, my family and friends told me to be careful and "keep my head down". Now I realize it is not the Iraqi people or the insurgents I need to worry about, it is the media.
