Keep the positive stories coming. This VENT goes hand in hand with stories I heard from my uncle and cousin (retired and active USAF respectively) at Christmas. They were both highly critical of the mud stream media portrayal of Iraq.
A DOD video completely ignored by the MSM. Good news but I’m looking forward to seeing video of Michele out in the streets with our brave troops. Be safe folks and God speed!
A Minnesota troop support group has a rather large collection of troop videos. Check them out.
Great Vent Michelle! This type of positive reporting on Iraq is something we will not hear from most elements of the MSM. Perhaps a regular Hot Air sidebar feature would be this type of reporting from military sources.
I loved the start too, it lets us know that Michelle is human and adds a special sense of reality to her reporting. But I must make disclosure when voicing this opinion, I am totally biased in my views of Hot Air, Michelle, and the Hot Air folk.
(Wouldn’t it be nice if the MSM made similar disclosures at the beginning of their “reporting”, especially the AP?).
3…2…1…Infrastructure is what is greatly neaded in Iraq. Once Security is established, things like electricity, banking (so the Iraqi troops don’t have to run their money home) , water and food, will help with satisfying many people. Thanks Michelle.
I have noticed something about these current videos/briefings. They are given by junior enlisted men and NCOs. The Lame Stream Media and all sorts of moonbats are duly insulted. They demand at least a Full Colonel if not a General bow and scrape to them.
How come those unqualified for PLO (Permanent Latrine Orderly) always think they outrank the brass?
Funny, I didn’t see a word about this on the 3000 hours of [negative] programming CNN ran on Iraq in the lead up to the last election.
No, they gave us a documentary on the life and times of Osama Bin Laden, explaining how it was the fault of the U.S. and their audacity to sent troops into the sacred land of Saudi Arabia, that made poor vanquished OBL turn out to be a killer on a grand scale. Oh and let’s not forget the images they showed of the poor unfed children and our troops getting blown up by insurgents. CNN should change their name to Al Jazeera West. This ….. is AJW.
Thanks again Michelle, for allowing the public to see just a morsel of the good our troops are doing in Iraq.
The Haditha Dam project will live forever in American military history, alongside that other great success, the My Lai irrigation ditch. Bravo Michelle!

Our engineers are greatly appreciated for their heroic efforts in getting the basics of modern life working and available to the people of Iraq. Your comments comparing this project to My Lai are not appreciated and are out of place. But I’ll second your Bravo to Michelle for airing this story (a story I’m sure an idiotic idol of the left, Dan Blather, would never air).

What’s with the false start and re-do?

Yeah, ouch.
MarkyX on January 12, 2007 at 9:14 AM
Another GREAT success story ignored by the defeatests of this country!
As far as the restart goes…..Perhaps it was an attempt to illustrate how even on HA people will focus on the negative instead of the positive message?
csdeven on January 12, 2007 at 9:19 AM
This place should be called FRESH AIR….I love it.
It is hard to keep your chin up when everything is painted so badly in the Lame Stream Media.
Please, sir, can I have some more?

I thought I heard explosives. If so, I was thinking it would then be appropriate to leave it in for emphasis.

Wow never heard nightline do that story!

You have the floor on this stuff. Keep it up.

Really? I couldn’t make out any. I thought I heard Bryan though say something in the background.

Thank you for showing this.
We would never have know about this if not for HotAir.

I didn’t know Michelle was in Iraq. God protect her.
