So far what I am hearing from AC360 is 'information' about brain injuries and IEDs and the way to 'control' the danger and bring the injury under control.
This is outrageous. The American people need to redirect their political efforts to a party that seeks an end to our involvement.
I have no doubt, the ABC journalists 'embedded' in pure bravery to assess the ability of Iraqi forces to handle 'the job' and at the same time assess the necessity for American forces. Well. They succeeded in proving exactly the disrepair the Iraqi forces exist in comparison to the USA forces. Keeping in mind that the USA forces have improved 'their lot in life' after the American Taxpayer has ridiculed this administration over and over regarding putting our troops lives in unnecessary danger. Our American Newspapers have made issue of obvious indifference to the safety of our troops, including new IEDs that penetrate armor, armor that did not protect USA soldiers, dirty water fed to our soldiers, deficiencies to body armor, armor plates missing to enhance soldier performance rather than protection, abuses of Halliburton and the list is extensive. That doesn't begin to address the issue of deficit and cronyism.
Now, we have two very brave and possibily the first journalists who have gone on tour with an Iraqi troop. We realize from their sacrifice and far too late the difference the Iraqi forces face. Literally, Don Rumsfeld has passed on to the Iraqi forces all the equipment the American taxpayers have complained about.
I apologize to ABC News for this tragedy and desire them to realize how deeply felt this bravery by their journalists are felt. There are no words. Their families hardship is indescribable realizing the 'betrayal' of their trust as an embed and also the lack of oversight regarding the equipment the Iraqis have to use.

Ask me if I care about tunnels at this point.

This programming lacks 'outrage' over these circumstances REGARDING PIERS and promotes 'understanding' of the insufficiencies of this war both with insight and preparedness. This program is government propaganda to 'buffer' the incompetency and illegality of this invasion into Iraq while Osama bin Laden remains at large spurring violence when his videos are shown. The al Qaeda network should have been defeated first and a long time ago with a huge effort in Afghanistan rather than a slap on the wrist that enables American presence that promotes only the stability necessary for the protection of the 'oil and gas pipelines' in Afghanistan.
enough.
