Iraq / War on Terror / MSM

[someguy]

Okay, gotta rant for a sec...  I think (and hope) that even though this isn't directly gun-related, a) most of you are interested in hearing about what's going on in the Middle East, b) most of you are wary of the mainstream media due to - at least - their treatment of firearms issues, and c) most of you realize how hard you have to dig to get to the truth these days...

With that said, here are two links I encourage you all to read.  The first is rather striking, but the second is infuriating - both because of what happened, and because this is likely to be the first that many of you have heard about it.

The second was authored by Michael Yon, who is embedded in Iraq with US troops AT HIS OWN EXPENSE.  He is an independent journalist, and should be required reading for everyone, as far as I'm concerned.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading.  I'm going to clean my AR now - maybe that will calm me down...  (Maybe.)

Truly disturbing, at least the real news is getting out. Good post someguy!

Thanks #2 someguy, I tried to copy the addresses to send to others but it did not work. I guess I'll go to the sites and copy them there to spread around, unless you have a better method. I'll admit and don't believe the main stream is interested in the truth, and I believe they have their own agenda and want to turn us into " Animal Farm ", some exceptions to Fox, but the internet will be the new media center, for those who are interested in the truth and happily almost instant background checking of the source.

Glad you checked it out.  I just checked my email, and saw that Michael Yon's latest dispatch has been posted.

If you though the other one was disturbing, well, give this a close read.  Makes me want to climb out of this hospital
bed and swim across the ocean with my own gun just to have a chance to go after these b@stards...
