**** you liberals and terrorist sup****ters
I found this quite interesting...especially the website for the Department
of Defense which you will see listed at the bottom of this e-mail. I did
not
know these things. Makes you wonder about the agenda of the mainstream
media
in this country, doesn't it?
Did you know that 47 countries' have reestablished their embassies
in
Iraq?
Did you know that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million
Iraqi people?
Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are
under rehabilitation, 263 new schools are now under construction and
38 new schools have been completed in Iraq?
Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20
Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, all
currently operating?
Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in
January, 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program?
Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have 5
100-foot
patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.
Did you know that Iraq's Air Force consists of three operational
squadrons, which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 trans****t
aircraft (under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and
night, and
will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?
Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando
Battalion?
Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000
fully-trained
and equipped police officers?
Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that produce
over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?
Did you know there are more than 1100 building projects going on in
Iraq? They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83
railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69
electrical
facilities.
Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have
received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations?
Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in
primary
school by mid October?
Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq
and phone use has gone up 158%?
Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consists of 75
radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?
Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of
2004?
Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election
had
a televised debate recently?
OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW! WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?
OUR MEDIA WOULD NEVER TELL US!
Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos of
flag-burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs
at
the presidential motorcades.
Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq, and any
other
country we are currently in , serves two purposes:
1. It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United
States thus minimizing consequent sup****t, and
2 It is intended to discourage American citizens.
Above facts are verifiable on the Department of Defense web
site:
http://www.defenselink.mil/
A third thing it does is demoralize our troops and that is a
tragedy.
