Ask any returning soldier what is really going on there and its a completely different story then what we get out of our media. Peolpe need to know exactly whats going on so we can all make a informed plan.

That's a good point Canucklehead...the media is all the time boasting about getting to the meat of things and putting it out there regardless of the slant, but more times than not you can feel the *spin* before the segment is even over...and don't think for a second the media doesn't have their agenda as well, whether it be winning the Nielsons or winning the particular political seat of the day...

[Ngtflyr]

I take anything from virtually any media source with a grain of salt. Think about anything you have seen on the news that you are an expert on, if the media is trying... they might have it 40% correct at best. Accurate stories from the media are few and far between. Then throw in their slant on the story to make it better fit their agenda. Sad thing is that a majority of liberals really, truely think the Bovine Scattalogy offered by the media is accurate!

That's because they want to believe it so much.
Then they follow the other sheep to the slaughter.......

Ditto to Dr. Vernon Chong (USAF ret.). That man said everything that I have thought since our 9/11 wake-up call was delivered. I've had all "the religion of peace BS" that I can possibly choke down. The only positive angle that I can see lately, is that "profiling" is now being discussed more and more on the political shows and talk radio. Profiling is a positive (and logical) step toward identifying the dirty bastards who want our heads. We should all do our best to persuade friends, family, and politicians to recognize the danger we face as a country.

Oh, they're profiling on the airlines already! I've only flown a handful of times in my life, all within the last year, and every time but once they've pulled the whitest guy they could find right out of line, while the rest of the plane is boarding, and dressed him down...and guess who that lucky soul was! Your's truly!! My wife always gets a kick out of it, and it's kind of a running joke now...but it kinda makes ya wonder if they shouldn't be paying attention to the folks getting on the plane instead of messing with some Hillbilly!

And another rant...when are they gonna start checking the folks loading the plane, or even limit access to it? Here at work we occasionally pickup *clients* down at the cargo docks...getting up close and personal with the tarmac is as easy as turning left instead of continuing on to the terminal...
