Watching "Control Room" has me wondering what's going on in Iraq!

I just checked out some news sites on the net and can't find much.

Has Iraq just dropped off the radar???

(Note: This is NOT an anti-Schiavo threads thread. I've started them myself! Just wondering why I can't find much on Iraq anywhere.)

4. this is what I do to find news....

Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 01:05 PM by leftchick

Start here and flip through the Iraq photo gallery at yahoo....

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?g=events/iraq/082701iraqplane&tmpl=sl&e=1

I came across a photo of a dead girl killed in her school by a motar round. No story on Yahoo so I googled and found it. I posted it in LBN. TN and myself suspect it was a US "OOPS" that caused the death and injuries.

Link to story: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1334869

I also saw several convoy attacks in Mosul and Ramadi and found the fallujah is "peaceful" news! :eyes:

I believe he US is fighting desperately to keep all of this "good" news away dfrom AmeriKans.

This is when you do things that are bad and don't want people to know about them. Why aren't the Dems spotlighting this? And I do believe it is an issue. We should be telling the troops that "Hey, sorry, nobody in the country really cares anymore and look at the main stream media, I don't think we have to tell them, because I think they are figuring it out on their own. Do these people learn ANYTHING from history? Same thing happened in South-east Asia.

Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes. -Voltaire

If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience. -George Bernard Shaw
