I wonder why this was not on CNN OR ABC Mad

i Know its outdated but it was not on those major tv news networks like CNN, ABC CBC,CBS,NBC. etc..

So what do you make of these Documents?
and is it a another blow to the farleft media for not reporting it?

Talk about a moot point.

I expect this is what he was trying to post?

Out here Lt. Bryan Suits, back from Iraq having BTDT, has resumed his radio show (KVI-AM) and interviewed the guy who has taken to translating these. Apparantly the Army put them up because they simply don't have the manpower to translate all this stuff plus keeping up with day to day chatter.
Suits gets his hair cut from some Arab-speaking barbers and showed them the originals without comment. Eyes bulge. "Where did you get this?" Told them, showed them translations and they agreed they are very accurate.

Here's the direct link http://70.168.46.200/
I expect there is much more fallout to come from this gouge.

well the war in Iraq has brought down the dictator who ruled the country for 22-23 years without opposition. The people had suffered so much inspite of 3 wars it has engaged for the past 23 years ( correct me if i am wrong). well, there is a new enemy that is called as oppositions to the " occupation". to them, they are the oppressed the victims of the occupation to these infidels as they are called as.for them they only think of us as enemy of Islam destroying the way of living. Both of us have suffered enough of this conflict. Hope peace reigns and solutions worked out.

Sadam killed hundreds of thousands of people. He even used chemical weapons. YES the war is justified. However the US Military has no excuse for being not adequately prepared for a long insurgency war.They had been warned by muslim allies that this scenario will happen. sniper

I think I have to agree with that.

I agree with the above posters as well. I think if we would have done it right initially things would be different. I think we underestimated a little. But as far as reasons for us invaded Iraq in the first place, I personally feel that if we went there, then there's a good reason, whether it be oil, chemical weapons etc. We are there and we can't turn back now, people need to get off it already, stop soley blaming Bush, I personally think the man is a moron but that's my opinion and being an American I'm entitled to it, but it's not like he woke up one day and said I think I'll invade Iraq today, it's not all his decision and I'm sure a lot of the politicians bitching about it now are ones who voted to go over there. Whether we as Americans agree as to why we are there and agree with the war in general, we still have the obligation to suuport our troops no matter what....just my opinion..

Well I have to greatly disagree with this thread as I strongly believe that going to Iraq has been a huge mistake

1.) The war took valuable needed resources away from the real fight, Afghanistan which after 5 years is still unstable. The Afghan central government has virtually no control outside of Kabul. In the past few months we have seen a resurgent Taliban, resurgent because they were never trully defeated in the first place.

2.) Special forces desperetely needed to hunt down Al Queda in Afghanistan were pulled in 2003 to be used in Iraq.

3.) Iraq provided Al Queda with the absolute best propoganda they could ever have imagined. For years Bin Laden had been claiming that the US really wants to invade an oil rich Arab country. So, what did we do....

4.) The unilateral approach has had a serious negative impact on US relations around the world. World opinian of the US has dropped like never before, with the result being that more and more nations are less willing to work with the US on numerous international issues.

5.) The effect of being bogged down in Iraq has given Iran and North Korea the oppurtunity they would not otherwise have had to basically be as beligerent as possible. Mind you these are two nations that have WMD programs

6. Due to the complete incompetence of the civilian leadership right after the end of the ground war in securing Iraq, we now have a complete training ground and recruitment center for thousands of new Jihadis, many of whom would not have been involved if not for the invasion. As a result of not securing the ammo depots shortly after we now have an insurgency with a vast stockpile of weapons for which they can use against us.

7.) By publicly using discredited information to build a case that Iraq had WMDs, the US credibility has dropped to zero. Even more so, large populations of people now have very little faith and trust in the US. It does not matter what we know or think, but the perception of US intentions in Iraq have had a devastating impact on our security

8.) Ironically Saddam was just as much, if not more of an enemy to Al Queda than the US. What really burns these people are secular Arab leaders. To them they are even worse than a moderate democratically elected leader. One reason why even Hafaz Assad, as beligerent as he is, has helped in combating Al Queda. For Assad typifies what Al Queda believes is the worst to happen to Islam=Secularist leaders.

Was Saddam bad? Sure, but so is the regime in Syria, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Myanmar, Pakistan, etc..I have nothing against taking out Saddam per se, but the manner in which it was done and the timing could not have been any worse for the US. Secure and stabilise Afghanistan first, then go into Iraq with a real plan. What seems so impervious to many is that the sectarian warfare going on should have been expected. That is why we should have armed and covertly support an uprising from within, and accepted the fact that Iraq may very well fall into 3 pieces. Instead we are dealing with the ghost of colonialism, and even through we were not the imperialists who made up the idiotic map of the Middle East, we are now the ones paying for it.
