Did You Know ? Of Course Not . . .
Have you read any of the following in your newspapers or heard about these
things happening in Iraq on radio or television?
*Did you know that 47 countries have re-established their embassies in
Iraq?
*Did you know that the Iraqi current government employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?
*Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under
rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and 38 new schools
have been built in Iraq?
*Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20
Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and four research centers, all
currently operating?
*Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in
January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program?
*Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have 5, 100-foot
patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.
*Did you know that Iraq's Air Force consists of three operational
squadrons, which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport
aircraft (under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and night, and
will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 bell jet rangers?
*Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando
Battalion?
*Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained
and equipped police officers?
*Did you know that there are five Police Academies in Iraq that produce
over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?
*Did you know there are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq?
They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83 railroad
stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69 electrical
facilities.
*Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of five have
received the first two series of polio vaccinations?
*Did you know that 43 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary
school by mid October?
*Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and
phone use has gone up 158%?
*Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consist of 75 radio
stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?
*Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004?
*Did you know that two candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a
recent televised debate recently?
OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW BECAUSE OUR MEDIA DIDN'T TELL US!
Instead of reporting on the positive things that have been accomplished in Iraq, we
get stories about flushing the Koran down a toilet and photos of flag
burning incidents, and stories about "torture" at Abu Ghraib prison, and
so-call prisoner-abuse at Guantanamo, and daily body-counts from suicide bombers' terrorist
attacks on hapless civilians.
The lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes. It
undermines the world's perception of the United States thus minimizing
consequent support, and it discourages American citizens and their support
of the war against terrorism.
Pass this on to your friends so more Americans will know how well we are
doing in Iraq despite the greedy, traitorous American media's complete failure to report the positive things
Americans have done in Iraq.
The American media should be ashamed.
All of the above facts are verifiable on the Department of Defense website.
