If she wants to see good things in Iraq let's get the hell out and leave then alone so they can sort things out.Like we did in another senseless war (conflict) called
Vietnam. Things seem to be fine in that country now.
I agree with Lara Logan (ABC News)the country is so unsafe I would not want to go out and hunt for positive stories if there are any.
Read this interview between her and Kurtz.
KURTZ: But critics would say, well, no wonder people back home think things are falling apart because we get this steady drumbeat of negativity from the correspondents there.
LOGAN: Well, who says things aren't falling apart in Iraq? I mean, what you didn't see on your screens this week was all the unidentified bodies that have been turning up, all the allegations here of militias that are really controlling the security forces.
What about all the American soldiers that died this week that you didn't see on our screens? I mean, we've reported on reconstruction stories over and over again…I mean, I really resent the fact that people say that we're not reflecting the true picture here. That's totally unfair and it's really unfounded.
...Our own editors back in New York are asking us the same things. They read the same comments. You know, are there positive stories? Can't you find them? You don't think that I haven't been to the U.S. military and the State Department and the embassy and asked them over and over again, let's see the good stories, show us some of the good things that are going on? Oh, sorry, we can't take to you that school project, because if you put that on TV, they're going to be attacked about, the teachers are going to be killed, the children might be victims of attack.
Oh, sorry, we can't show this reconstruction project because then that's going to expose it to sabotage. And the last time we had journalists down here, the plant was attacked. I mean, security dominates every single thing that happens in this country….So how it is that security issues should not then dominate the media coverage coming out of here?
I think the most positive thing we can see in Iraq is our military men and women on a plane headin' home.
Yeah I agree,let's give them work on the
borders,they deserve a break.
Let those people sort out their own problems the way we did during our Civil War.I think as election time draws near we will see plane loads of them comeing home but what a shame they have been used for political and monetary gain.
