Not really left out of my news, except the news that the dog got some cool shades. That IS news. Doggles.

Oh noes!!! Good news is forbidden.

Most of what you see in the news is death and destruction and that is a small portion of what is really happening over there.

If i started an all good news channel, I would be out of business in a week due to bad ratings.

I mean... if you look at the statistics on U.S. Casualties as well as the reported Iraqi casualties then I wouldn't say a 'small portion' of what is happening.

But before this spirals into a P&N thread - i'll drop it. Those pics are cool.

For those interested in this, there is a documentary following around a group of Marines in Iraq called Outside the Wire

This is the Iraq War you won't see on the evening news.

Former Marine and television news producer JD Johannes traveled to Iraq with
his old Marine Corps unit to produce syndicated TV news reports for local
stations.

From those reports comes a view of the war that only the grunts who operate
outside the wire experience.

From a dust-up with Al Qaida outside Abu Ghriab, to a night raid on the home
of an insurgent leader, you will see what the Marines saw and hear the story
in their own words of why they joined, volunteered for the deployment, why
they fight and what it is like to go outside the wire and into combat.

Thankfully she is in U.S. care. Most other foreign governments in the world would have just left her to die.

That looks cool as hell. I'm gonna buy it.

I'm glad this was brought up... the only victory the US will ever have in Iraq is if the military mission becomes a humanitarian mission. The pictures illustrate this well, too bad no one sees it that way.

ROFL!!

Hey good post OP. Yeah it's unfortunante that a lot of people only see what the media wants to present on the conflict in Iraq. There IS a lot of good going on over there.
