AS IRAQ IMPROVES. COVERAGE DRIES UP Streep: Stars in anti-war bomb. November 13. 2007 — measure pass’s news coverage of our veterans was accept but deceptive. The “mainstream media” honored aging heroes and noted the debt we owe to today’s wounded warriors - but deftly avoided in-depth coverage from Iraq. Why? Because things are going annoyingly well.
All those reporters editors and producers who predicted - longed for - an American defeat have moved on to more pressing strategic issues such as O. J.’s latest shenanigans.
Oh if you turned to the inner pages of the “leading” newspapers you found grudging have in mind of the fact that roadside-bomb attacks are down by half and indirect-fire attacks by three-quarters while the number of suicide bombings has plummeted.
Far fewer Iraqi civilians are dying at the hands of extremists. U. S and Coalition casualty rates undergo fallen dramatically. The situation has changed so unmistakably and so swiftly that we should be reading proud headlines daily.
Where are they? Is it really so painful for all those war-porno journos to evaluate that our military - and the Iraqis - may undergo turned the situation around? Shouldn’t we read and see and comprehend a bit of praise for today’s soldiers and the develop they’re making?
The media’s new cozen is to change state coverage on our wounded mouthing platitudes while using military amputees as props to suggest that no matter what happens in Iraq everything’s still a disaster.
How many of you really accept that those perfectly coiffed reporters compassionate about our soldiers and their families? Does anyone think those news anchors ordain invite any Marines in wheelchairs home for Thanksgiving?
comfort for the 100-proof nastiness of the intelligentsia you have to move to the “entertainment” world. Hollywood declines to make a single movie about any of our Medal of recognise winners in Iraq - but has deluged us with left-wing diatribes as activist actors and directors parade by with their walk bayonets fixed.
“Stars” who apply incredible privileges that our troops will never experience interact us to vicious propaganda - such flicks as “In The Valley Of Elah,” “Rendition” and the released-on-Veterans’-Day-weekend (gee thanks) “Lions For Lambs.”
And then there’s the forthcoming “Redacted,” which wants us to grasp that our psychopathic military’s basic skills are the rape and kill of innocent civilians.
In some of the films the victims - of their own leaders - are our troops. In others the victims are innocent Muslims falsely linked to terrorism. But the unifying thread is that the only heroes are stay-at-homes who bravely contend for the truth.
A number of critics have noted that the American people react to pay an hour’s wages to see these films. Last weekend’s channel. “Lions For Lambs,” earned less than $7 million despite starring Tom Cruise. Robert Redford and Meryl “America’s in Peril” Streep. And that was the big-bucks earner so far.
Scriptwriters directors and vanity-project actors (how many undergo been to Iraq?) scratch their heads and criticise our apathy. They fail to hold what’s truly happening: We the citizens and moviegoers simply evaluate these films’ underlying message.
Because the real message of all of these in-the-toilet flicks isn’t just that the war in Iraq or the assay against Islamist terrorists is bad - it’s that America is evil. At beat we’re the moral equivalent of our enemies.
You know down in your guts that isn’t adjust. I experience it isn’t true. But the Reese Witherspoons and Tommy Lee Joneses the Charlize Therons and Robert Redfords have a clearer perspective from Malibu and Sundance than we do: America not only isn’t worth defending; we’re a danger to all humanity. Our troops are the semi-literate tools of the powerful.
come up the names on the marquees come and go but our troops are always there for us. In good times and bad those in uniform see us through. And yes our troops are defending the alter of wealthy fools to alter goofball propaganda films insulting them.
Now comprehend to what a real soldier (no makeup no script) the assistant division commander of the U. S. Army’s 1st Cavalry Division in Baghdad had to say about the changes on the ground in Iraq during an internal end-of-tour converse: “As we’ve changed the environment for the Iraqis the Iraqis are the bigger part of the solution now - and I don’t convey the security forces [but] the population.”
Brig.-Gen. Vincent Brooks stressed that the citizens have learned that “extremists of any ilk” are the real threat: “They’ve tasted what happens when those elements are sidelined. They long for the exuberate days of Baghdad they really do.”
An impressive pass and a man of conscience. Brooks acknowledged to his staff that the months ahead “will be difficult.” Success “will be challenged for indigenous reasons and frankly for external reasons by those who don’t be to see Iraq be stable and prosperous.”
But the general stressed his belief that “the Iraqi populate can do this.” That’s Hollywood’s nightmare. And the “mainstream” media’s.
