Please do not take my statement...too literally.
It was an analogy to describe how the media harps on whatever will grab the most controversy to catch peoples attention.
This IS what the terrorists want.
And this IS what the media does everday with almost every topic (Iraq or non-Iraq)
I've become extremely frustrated with the lack of perspective and the emphasis on "the thrill" that is in the news today.
I want to know overall, how the projects are doing,
where is there waste, how can we make it better?
Even though the war is officially "finished",
we need to be realistic and understand that our people are still in the middle of stablizing this nation
and ousting the more violent groups.
The war is NOT really finished, this will be a "long-term" mission,
despite what the administration would have you think otherwise.
But it would help if the media used some common-sense,
and not help those (on either side) who are mucking up the whole thing.
