Email I got from a friend at work- (I added nothing)

Interesting reading......

DID YOU KNOW THIS?

Did you know that 47 countries have re-established their embassies in
Iraq?

Did you know that the Iraqi government employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?

Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and 38 new schools have been built in Iraq?

Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20
Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers?

Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in
January 2004 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 Iraqi's Air Force consists of three operation squadrons,
9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft 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? [Thank you, Ron!!]

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 consist 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
recent televised debate recently?

OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!

WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW? OUR MEDIA WOULDN'T TELL US!

Because a Bush- hating media and Democratic Party would rather see the
world blow up than lose their power.

Instead of shouting these accomplishments from every rooftop, they would
rather show photos of what a few perverted malcontent soldiers have done
in
prisons in many cases never disclosing the circumstances surrounding the
events.

Instead of showing our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning
incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at presidential
motorcades.

The lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves only one purpose. It
undermines the world's perception of the United States and our soldiers.

I AM ASHAMED OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS WHO WOULD RATHER SEE TERRORISM SUCCEED THAN A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT.

This is verifiable on the Department of Defense website. Pass it on!

Wow na lang! George Bush sure does love Iraq! He is our greatest president of Iraq, ever!

Nephythys · 02-25-2005, 04:32 PM

snide much?

I didn't write it- and I didn't say you have to believe it. The email cites its own source.

Maybe.

When an e-mail states as fact that a Bush-hating media and the Democratic party would rather see the world blow up than lose their power I assume that Dubya's over-protective mommy wrote it.

Btw, wouldn't a Bush-hating media be all over this story?

:snort:

I'm sorta doubting all the data.....because there's no back-up. I've seen some very convincing emails that have been full of crap before, so I take email testimony for what it's worth.....not much.

I'm shocked, shocked, that they left out the fact that 1500 U.S. soldiers have DIED, and countless thousands of others have been injured (which is going to cost the U.S. PLENTY down the road on disability benefits and medical bills--yippee!), oh, and we've spent BILLIONS on this damn war, when our own country is just eh at the moment. Yes, I'm surprised, very surprised that the email left out all the other stuff......
