Why do people on the left only discuss bad news

Why don?t you people on the left ever talk about good news on the war in Iraq?? Recently a new tennis court was constructed in the green zone. It is un-American to discuss anything negative about the war. As Britney Spears said ?We must trust the President in everything that he does? ;)

Well, it's good to know that when the Iraqi gov't members *do* show up (provided they're not killed on the way in), they can take time out to work on their serve!

I see we have another who can't tell the difference between discussing the bad news and myopically focusing on it to the exclusion of all else and harping on that bad news incessantly. The members of the left who do focus only on the bad news give themselves away as to their true intent and ultimately show themselves to be uncaring as to what actually goes on in Iraq.

Ever heard the term "crocodile tears?" Many of the left seem to shed them constantly.

Have you noticed the criticism of Bush and WMDs by Rush?

Na, they couldn't be just the same (though they are)

When there is bad news resulting from government conspiracies and lies, to ignore the truth about what is happening is to give tacit approval.

In other words, we're in the complete mess we're in because of George W. Bush and the lies he and his administration officials told. If we ignore the results of their crimes and fail to hold them accountable then they will continue to commit them because they know that there are no repercussions.

Get it?

What ever.

The thing I'm struck about is the cointinued bloodshed that's happening in Iraq, It seems that not a couple of days go by without carbombs going off in Baghdad killing 10 to 20 people at a time. This is the capital of Iraq and if we gan't seem to stop the massacre there how can we expect to stop it elsewhere in that country.

I also noticed the lack of violence (well in comparison) happening in the areas of Iraq that are under British control. Do you believe that if they were faced with the same violence the American Troops were faced with they'd still be there?

One has to question why the lack of violence in the areas that arent sunni strongholds.
The British wouldnt turn tail and run anymore than we have.

I actually have to agree with you there.

But another thing to consider is the British handle things differently. They aren't just about raids and bombs and bullets. Remember, they "owned" Iraq before.

Oh yeah? I bet if they lost as many men and had as many wounded Blair wouldn't have gotten re-elected if he didn't pull out of Iraq.

<Runs back out>
The last time I listened to Rush was back in the late 80s, and even then it wasn't on purpose. One of my old bosses used to listen to him every day. I couldn't stand him. He was a blowhard then and I doubt he's changed much in that time. So if you're assuming I'm some sort of Rush fan or need to make excuses for his behavior...bzzzt.

From what I've heard of Rush though, many of the new left today seem every bit as bad as he is. Their stripes are just in opposition to his, that's all.

Oh my bad, I guess 14 of our soldiers killed in the last 3 days is good news to the War mongering Republicans :roll:

Google for Lt. Col. Patrick Ryan and the White Page Truce. That would be more along the lines of how the British are handling things. Too bad the rest of the U.S. aren't doing something similar.

British rules of engagement only allow troops to open fire when attacked, using the minimum force necessary and only at identified targets.

The American approach was markedly different: "When US troops are attacked with mortars in Baghdad, they use mortar-locating radar to find the firing point and then attack the general area with artillery, even though the area they are attacking may be in the middle of a densely populated residential area.

"The British response in Iraq has been much softer. During and after the war the British set about trying to win the confidence of the local population. There have been problems, it hasn't been easy but on the whole it was succeeding."

"New Left"; see Democratic Underground, also referred by the acronym DU.

"New Right"; see Free Republic, also known by the compound slang Freepers.

They are opposite sides of the same coin. They are commonly hateful little people who can't see beyond their own emotions to survey anything else in the world. You can judge their feelings on a political subject by measuring the amount of spittle issued from their mouths while talking about the subject for 5 minutes. Their common tools are rhetoric and hyperbole and their favorite past time seems to be pointing fingers at everyone else as the root cause of all the problems in the world. Know that that the finger will never point at themselves though. In their own opinion, they are perfect and everyone who doesn't subscribe to their beliefs are inestimably idiotic fools and clueless purveyors of schlock. Only their opinion matters in this world.

But that doesnt explain the car bombs that blow up Iraqis in markets, school opening, sewer openings ect. If they were strictly fighting the occupational forces then I think there is a lot of validity in that theory.

I think the problem is more with the Sunni holdouts than with the way occupation is being done.

Here's some spittle and hyperbole for you.

US House panel OKs $45b for wars in Iraq, Afghanistan

www.chinaview.cn 2005-05-25 10:43:56

WASHINGTON, May 24 (Xinhuanet) -- A US House of Representatives subcommittee on Tuesday approved, without request from the Bush administration, 45 billion dollars for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan next year.

The House Appropriations Defense subcommittee agreed in a closed session to include the emergency funding in the Pentagon's spending bill for fiscal 2006 starting on Oct. 1.

This came two weeks after the Congress Tuesday approved 82 billion dollars, in its fifth emergency spending package since theSept. 11, 2001 attacks, for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The White House has not asked for funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in its budgets for the last three years. Instead, it requested the money in emergency bills.

Lawmakers have criticized the White House for not including thecost of the wars in the regular budgets and failing to give a realistic estimate.

The House and Senate are working on separate bills calling for 50 billion dollars in emergency funding for Iraq and Afghanistan for the first half of next year.

Bush requested 419 billion dollars for the Pentagon for 2006 inthe budget proposal submitted to the Congress in February. Including the emergency money, the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee's bill would provide 408.4 billion dollars. Enditem

We're spending over $215 million per day in Iraq and the Voyager project is struggling for a measly $4.2 million to keep it alive as the spacecraft enter interstellar space.

I'm just curious, exactly what news would the Bushies have us discuss? Michael Jackson? The runaway bride? American Idol?

They are all covered every morning on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc. I'm more interested in genuine news. Sorry if the real world doesn't jibe with the right wing fairy tale being told in the U.S. press.

Buchanan has been really hard on the war and on Bush and I wouldn't call him a democrat. As for me I treasure every piece of good news because it is, in a way, hidden treasure. You have to dig through a lot of the bad to get even a little good.
