OT: Iraq

[fx-freak]

Did you know that 47 countries have re-established their embassies in Iraq?

 

Did you know that the Iraqi current government employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?

 

Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and 38 new schools have been built in Iraq?

 

Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, all currently operating?

 

Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program?

 

Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have 5- 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a navel infantry regiment.

 

Did you know that Iraq's Air Force consists of three operational squadrons, which include s 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?

 

Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion?

 

Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers?

 

Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?

 

Did you know 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 and 69 electrical facilities.

 

Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations?

 

Did you know that 43 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October?

 

Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%?

 

Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consist of 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?

 

Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004?

 

Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a recent televised debate recently?

 

OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW OUR MEDIA WOULDN'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 presidential motorcades.

 

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.

God damn liberal media.

 

Oughtta round 'em up, put 'em on trains and ship 'em to re-edumacation camps somewheres....

[palthegiraffe]

You're right. Iraq is a lovely, safe, stable, friendly place. Please go visit. Please salute the US body bags headed the other direction for me.

[Kriegsemann]

What exactly is the point. The media is biased and based on bad news? Shocking.

 

If not for American actions, few of those things would be seen as accomplishments, they would be normal.

[Thelonius]

Ooohh yay!! A "mainstream media" type. I love you guys.

 

Anyone that disagrees with this poster it's pretty simple as to why. You believe the lies you've been told by the liberal mainstream media. Of course you probably think you're intelligent enough to decipher propoganda from reporting with your education, but remember you got your education from a liberal university where they teach you to be all pansy ass anyways.

Well that was a blisteringly fast liberal masturbation post-fest there.

That ought to tell you something right there. If that were a worthwhile post that meant anything, you and I would have already been at each other's throats by now.

Originally posted by fx-freak Did you know that 47 countries have re-established their embassies in Iraq? How many were there before the war started? Why did they go away to begin with? Did you know that the Iraqi current government employs 1.2 million Iraqi people? How many did it employ prior to the war? Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and 38 new schools have been built in Iraq? So thats a grand total of 38 new schools and at nearly 4000 destroyed? I don't know, these are your numbers, not mine Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, all currently operating? How many were operating before the war? Why did they close? Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program? re-established? Why was it terminated to begin with? Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have 5- 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a navel infantry regiment. Does this mean anything? Is their Navy new since the war? Did you know that Iraq's Air Force consists of three operational squadrons, which include s 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? Iraq has had an airforce for a long time. Do the words "no fly zone" mean anything to you? Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion? And a damn fine job they're doing, too. Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers? And a damn fine job they're doing, too. Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks? At that rate, every man, woman, and child in Iraq will be a police officer by the time the US Army leaves. Sweet! Did you know 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 and 69 electrical facilities. I wonder how many building-destruction projects have gone on in the past two years. I'd bet its a helluva lot more than 1100. Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations? Is this significant? Did you know that 43 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October? Hopefully they won't be blown up by roadside bombs while waiting for the bus. Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%? Sure, the insurgents use them to coordinate attacks against US soldiers. Yay cell phones. Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consist of 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations? And how many of them are anti-American? Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004? How's that going? Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a recent televised debate recently? Did you know that lawyers and judges in the Sadam Hussein trial are dropping like flies? OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW OUR MEDIA WOULDN'T TELL US BECAUSE IT'S ALL BULL{censored} Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at presidential motorcades. The lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes.

All it tells me is that everyone whipped out their stock rants and rhetoric along with their dicks.

Originally posted by fx-freak Did you know that 47 countries have re-established their embassies in Iraq?

 

 

Which countries? Re-established since when, the war?

 

Did you know that the Iraqi current government employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?

 

 

That is what, 10% of the adult population? We aren't making a democracy but a burocracy!

 

Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and 38 new schools have been built in Iraq?

 

 

Renovated from getting destroyed in the war?

 

Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, all currently operating?

 

 

Enrollment? If each has 5 kids that is SFW.

 

Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have 5- 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a navel infantry regiment.

 

 

Insert joke about their boats having glass bottoms...

 

Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers?

 

 

This number changes in the wind.

 

Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?

 

 

Any do cool weird noises with their mouth?

 

Did you know 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 and 69 electrical facilities.

 

 

The # of schools here is different than above. If these numbers don't match, why should I believe anything else? (you have 263 schools listed above).

 

Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations?

 

 

Because of us or Saddam?

 

Did you know that 43 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October?

 

 

Did you know the Iraqi population is around 25 million?

 

Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%?

 

 

Did you know that Cell Phones are often used to trigger IEDs?

 

Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a recent televised debate recently?

 

 

Out of how many candidates?

Dude, my stock rant on Iraq would probably throw you for a loop. Not in terms of pwnag3, either.

 

This little torrent is much more about makng fun of ridiculously slanted and transparent propaganda than partisan bickering, and you know it, or you would have had freak's back by now.
