4. Outta Sight Outta Mind

Most people think Iraq is soooooo 2003....nothing really going on there anymore, so why trouble one's pretty little head? Didn't we win when we pulled Saddam down and killed his kids and pulled him from the hidey hole. And we were gonna get cheap gas and... Ooops.

The corporate media has been fully compromise in their coverage and are gunshy to really come out and tell what's going on here. The reason? The relentless offensive by this regime and its proxies to label any news organization that does stories in the least critical to this regime or to harp on the losses as "unpatriotic".

Most news agencies just reprint what the Pentagon feeds them as their reporters can't even leave the protection of the garrisons of the Green Zone to see what's really going on and any news they do report is either from the military or second and third hand local sources.

Until people start seeing the walking wounded on the streets, the shell-shocked veterans in their own families and the toll this invasion has taken on our military and real national security, then maybe we'll get some questions about this invasion answered.
