  1. Hey! If you’re a Mainstream Media outlet and you’ve been promoting a POV for years ….. you can’t just jump the gun and start reporting facts that go against your grain without waiting to see if it’s REAL or not!
    C’mon …. these are Responsible News organizations … after all!!
    File that one under ‘Waiting for the Asteroid’ …
    Because if they wait long enough …. they will be put out of their misery.

  2. A column from Australia on this as well:

    “Yes, people have died, mainly at the hands of fellow Muslims. How many, no one knows.
    Perhaps 100,000 since the war in 2003? More?
    A ghastly loss, and thank God the killings are at last dwindling.
    But Iraq was no Eden under Saddam. If the deaths today are bad, the misery before was worse.
    As, of course, was the threat.
    The battle for Iraq always involved a grim calculus: would liberation save more people than it killed?
    So let’s calculate how many died under Saddam.
    In 1980, the dictator invaded Iran, starting a war in which at least 500,000 people died. In 1987, he crushed the Kurds, killing perhaps 100,000 or more.
    In 1990, he invaded Kuwait, starting a war that killed more than 23,000.
    On his defeat, he killed some 100,000 Shiites who rebelled.
    Add the mass executions he ordered, the purges he unleashed, the opposition activists he shot, the terrorist attacks he paid for.
    Remember also the children who died, robbed of medicines by his regime.
    Add them all up, and even by the most conservative count you see Saddam did not just threaten the West, but cost the lives of more than 100 Muslims a day, every day, for the 24 years of his barbaric rule.
    That’s four times more than are being killed in Iraq today, often by Saddam’s heirs and Saddam’s like.”

  5. This is related to Ann’s above post. I read ,somewhere,about 6 months ago.that for every Iraqi killed by U.S. troops there is 105 killed by other Iraqi’s.This is not widely reported because it may make people think that the religion of peace is anything but.Where else but in a muslim country is grocery shopping an extreme sport?

  7. Good news in the middle of a war is hardly preferable to bad news. The key thing is to hang in there – as William the Silent put it more formally, in the middle of what appeared to be a hopeless conflict, “it is not necessary to hope in order to act, nor to succeed in order to persevere.”

  8. Mythinformation — because the media has a policy when it comes to news and information.
    ‘Dumb-It-Down’ and ‘Hype-It-Up’

  9. Amazing that what could almost be regarded as treason, is considered the norm from the MSM. Even Harvard have come to this conclusion.
    Bizarre. Who’s side are they on and what do the hope to gain from it?

  10. That’s a very intelligent statement! I hope that this is not one of our leaders of tommorrow.Many, many UofR and UofS grads have left this province because it couldn’t provide work for them. Ask those BComm grads who moved to Alberta, Toronto and internationally because the opportunities just aren’t here.
    Is is acceptable to have a 3 – 4 year waiting list to get into professional trades at SIAST? Of course not!
    These young people want to stay home, but are forced to Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Calgary, Olds, and Edmonton to get the education that they want. Once educated and employed in Alberta, their chances of coming home are pretty slim.
    It is you my friend who should be giving a head a shake. Those old scare tactics just don’t work anymore.
