Did you know?

I didn't know!
 
How could we?

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?
 
...
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 ?
 
...
that Iraq 's higher educational structure consists
of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers,
all currently operating?
 
...
that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in
January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program?
 
...
that the Iraqi Navy is operational?
They have 5 - 100-foot patrol craft,
34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.
 
...
that Iraq ' s Air Force consists of three operational squadrons,
Which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft
(under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and night,
and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?
 
...
that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion?
 
...
that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000
fully trained and equipped police officers?

...
that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq
that produce over 3500 new officers every 8 weeks?
 
...
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

televised debate recently?
 
OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!
 
WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?
 
BECAUSE OUR MEDIA WON'T 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 serves two purposes:
 
It is intended to undermine the world's perception
of the United States thus minimizing consequent support;
and it is intended to discourage American citizens.
