I loathe the MSM. I disdain their not so hidden agenda.
Reports that Iraq has descended into a civil war are not only not true - they're being promulgated by anti-war journalists eager to see U.S. efforts to establish a stable democracy in the country fail.
Famous military analyst and author Ralph Peters, who just spent a week touring Baghdad with the 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, couldn't find any civil war.
"I'm looking for the civil war that The New York Times declared. And I just can't find it," Peters declared in his New York Post column on Sunday.
Instead, he reports, "I saw children and teenagers in a Shia slum jumping up and down and cheering our troops as they drove by - Cheering our troops."
Everywhere the 506th traveled, Peters said, the reception was warm. "No violence. None. Iraqis went out of their way to tell us we were welcome."
Instead, said Peters, the bombing of the Golden Mosque in Samarra - the alleged catalyst for the so-called civil war - has "caused popular support for the U.S. presence to spike upward."
"In place of the civil war that elements in our media declared, I saw full streets, open shops, traffic jams, donkey carts, Muslim holiday flags - and children everywhere, waving as our Humvees passed," he recalled.
"Even the clouds of dust we stirred up didn't deter them. And the presence of children in the streets is the best possible indicator of a low threat level."
Why aren't more writers and journalists like Peters featured? Simple - they don't adhere to the NYT and MSM "truth".
