A different point of view

[stripersnipr]

Mr. Peters writings and analysis have been consistent since day one with the descriptions of the Iraq situation that have been relayed to me from my nephew (second tour Iraq) and his fellow soldiers whom I have met. Their first hand accounts of remarkable progress that goes unreported has left me with a greatly diminshed respect for the editorialized "news" reports of most major news organizations.

Glad to hear your nephew is taking part in some success!

But if it bleeds it leads, it's not different there or here at home.

While I have seen many reports of progress in the mainstream media, the simple fact is that I care more about American's being killed than I do about a new school for Iraqi children. We went to Iraq to safeguard non-existant WMD's, not nation build.

Given that the Administration has been wrong on just about every aspect of the Iraq war, and has been caught fudging the reality on a day by day basis, perhaps the "liberal" media isn't being that negative...they're just providing some badly needed balance.
