All bad news, all the time


When it comes to war news, this is what passes for reporting.

The U.S. military reported 11 soldiers died in Iraq on Sunday -- all but one in combat -- bringing to 24 the number of American service members who have died in Iraq in the first week of May.

...six U.S. soldiers and a journalist were killed in a roadside bombing...

Two soldiers also were injured in that attack...

Also Sunday, two U.S. soldiers with Multi-National Division Baghdad were killed in separate bombings and two others were wounded. . .in Samarra, just north of Baghdad, two died in a suicide car bombing.

A Task Force Lightning soldier died Sunday in a noncombat incident...

A British soldier also died Sunday from wounds suffered in southern Iraq when a roadside bomb exploded...

Insurgents wreaked more havoc Sunday by killing at least 45 other people and wounding dozens more in multiple bomb attacks...

...a bomb in a parked car exploded, killing 33 people and wounding 74 others...

One police officer was killed and three others were wounded...

Earlier in the day, the two U.S. soldiers, along with 12 Iraqi police officers, were killed and 11 others were wounded...

...at least five people were killed and 10 others were wounded in the blast from an explosives-rigged car...

Not one mention of how many terrorists have been killed. But then there never is. The drive-by media only gives body counts for coalition troops. They couldn't care less how many of the enemy are killed.

Couldn't do that. That would be Vietnam style "body counts."

Eighty percent of the media uses this war to push their own socialist agenda. They hate President Bush and will use Iraq as a club with which to beat his administration.

And that's just the way it is.
