Great Stuff!

Our service men and women should ignore the bad press and be extremely proud of the good work they’re doing in Iraq.

Good triumphs over Evil so long as we let it.

Great Vent!

What a different story we hear when the comments from the people who really know, the troops on the ground, are made available.

In my opinion video such as this confirm that the MSM is more interested in their own politcial agenda than accurate reporting and commentary.

I can only speculate what public opinion in the United States would be if we were not fed a diet of propaganda that conforms to the politcially correct Left ideology, and were shown video such as this on a regular basis.l

Thank You Michelle and Hot Air Folk for keeping us well informed with unedited commentary from the people that really matter: The troops on the ground. (The people that really matter certainly does not include the MSM)

While it’s not uncommon to hear the words of our troops on MichelleMalkin.com and HotAir.com and parts of Fox News speaking in support of the war effort… it’s interesting that we don’t hear much out of the anti-war soldiers who are actively serving… instead only when they return and

Are those soldiers afraid of speaking up? Is the MSM and other liberals afraid of associating with those they view as less than them (ie our troops)?

After all… we’ve seen videos of from killed soldiers, speaking of how important what they are doing is and how proud they are of doing it… and yet I have yet to see a single video of a killed soldier, recorded days or months earlier speaking out against the war… speaking of the horrors of war and how wrong they think their presence is.

Once again Hot Air gets it right and the MSM gets it wrong. I think SSGT Smith’s comments regarding CNN is one that is felt with many who are over there. This past weekend we went to a family reunion and on cue my anti-Bush, anti-war Uncle started asking my husband about what it was like in Iraq. He basically said that if he gets his info from the MSM he’s getting the wrong info and then when on to say that it was common talk that if any of them had seen much of the MSM they’d have to wonder if they should shoot because they felt “they-MSM” were the enemy.

That is some powerful stuff. No wonder the MSM doesn’t want to show that back home. This clip show be emailed to every major news organization.

Thanks for this. It’s so refreshing to hear from those who really matter in this war instead of the fat cat, power hungry bureaucrats like Pelosi, Reid, and Leahy.

I failed to comment on part I (my bad). I won’t make the same mistake on part II. This is an excellent post, Michelle! I love hearing from the troops (the only people who really know what’s going on). How telling: “we can’t pull out right now”, “We’ve gone too far, if we pull out now we’ll be back here in 10 years…”. And, how sad: “Don’t listen to your Congressman, stay…”. That the Iraqi people would have to fear the political infighting going on in our country as compared to the reality they live with every day is just sad. Thank you for posting this! I know I won’t see this story anywhere but here.

Great Vent Michelle. You do your country a great service “airing” these short video segments regularly. Thank you.

The love and respect for our troops grows stronger every single day. Their sacrifice and dedication to their mission is inspiring.

I for one will head down to the post office shortly for a couple of those one rate boxes and get a care package or two out to our guys and gals. I have a few boxes of some really good coffee I’m sure they’ll enjoy.

May God Bless America.

Yes! Cut the bs and let the troops speak for themselves.

This is the decisive rebuttal to the cut-and-runners who pretend to speak on behalf of our troops. It puzzles me why we haven’t hammered home the point: Cut the bs and let the troops speak for themselves.

Why doesn’t Dubya just buy some primetime ad slots and show this over and over again?
