Iraq War Needs An Ernie Pyle

The news from Iraq seen on TV and read in the mainstream and not so mainstream newspapers is best described as "Bad News". The leftist media has concentrated on the "horrible atrocities" committed by our gallant soldiers and the "tremendous loss of life of the Iraqi civilians caused by our military aggression."Such traitors as Huston born Dahr Jamail, anti-Bush, anti-war in Iraq activist who has written for "The Nation and contributed to "Pacifica Radio", both hard leftist oracles, has spent his four visits, totaling 8 months, in Iraq taking photos of sick and wounded Iraqis, and reporting favorably on his interview of the program editor of Al-Jazeera, Samir Khadis. His reports never mention anything good being done for the Iraqi people. The schools they have built, the water and electricity restored to many parts of Iraq are left unmentioned by a man who has dedicated his "journalistic" effort on degrading our troops and especially President Bush.
There are too many regular contributors to the news from Iraq who we see everyday on the main network TV stations to mention in this blog. You all know who they are. The point is Lenin was correct when he called the media"useful idiots"!
With the exception of Col. Oliver North a recipient of the Silver star, Bronze star and two Purple hearts for action in Vietnam, reports are incessantly negative in an effort to cause the loss of will to persevere in the American Public.
Oliver North not unlike Ernie Pyle gets right into the groups of Marines who go to battle, in "harms way", not reporting from a safe green zone. His insightful reports like Ernie Pyle show the courage and valor of the men and women who fight for what they know is right. The defeat of Radical Islamic terrorists.
Ernie Pyle was killed by a sniper while covering the battle on a little island off Okinawa called la Shiva, and is buried along side two unknown soldiers in the Military Cemetery inside the Punch Bowl on Oahu, Hawaii.
I had the privilege of visiting his grave site when the ship I was stationed aboard made a port of call at Ford Island. Little did I realize back then in the years when Journalists did everything they could do to help the war effort with their writing. That a day would come when Journalists and "wannabee"Pulitzer prize winners would turn on our fighting men and their Commander in Chief as they have done.
Ernie Pyle through his efforts got a law passed in Congress that adjusted the pay of those soldiers in "harms Way" to an increase of 50% for "fight pay". Where are the Ernie Pyles'of today? Only a few brave Patriots labor in the war zone of Iraq to report victories and progress toward the defeat of a dreaded enemy.
