Only In China,,,,

Will you find this quote “The security plan has given a kind of new hope and new optimism,” Rice said after her meeting with al-Maliki.

“People may now have a little bit of a spur to do the other things that need doing,” she said, adding “we’ve got to be sure not just to concentrate on the security plan. The political side does need to keep pace.”

Not at any other media outlet did I find this quoted. Lets put the money shot in caps. THE POLITICAL SIDE DOES NEED TO KEEP PACE.

Why do no US papers or network news show any of the work or progress on the civic infrastructure? Outside the major urban areas of the Sunni Triangle our media does not care what happens.

So why is an article in the Chinese newsservice Xinhua the only place you can find the US Sec of State once again pushing the Admin’s position that political advances are as important as 21,000 additional MPs,Civil Affairs, and Engineers? Does anyone at the Big 3 even know Condi is in the Mid-East?

Security.
The Green Zone is the only place they won’t get shot or kidnapped. That’s why we don’t see what the rest of the world sees. Totally different news. American Sanitized News. The Spin Zone. If you have a dish you will see what I mean.

You’re ignoring the Kurd controlled area. You ignore that and present totally different news. Mark Sanitized News. The Spin Zone.

Spin away Mark.

Kurd controlled area?
What’s the latest news from Kirkuk?

Funny, Americans building water treatment plants, schools, hospitals, and the electrical system go outside the Green Zone, everyday of the week. The Sunni Triangle is where killings and kidnapping are rampant, out in the rest of Iraq, not so much.

The media could quote Condi anytime they choose, she makes that position clear every single time she addresses the press, or public, or foreign governments, or anyone on the face of the planet. Go checkout the transcripts of her speeches and her addresses to Congress and you will find that out. Or you can just stick to yahoo and your DU/DailyKos newsletter. Your choice, moron.

The reporting from outside the green zone is very weak due to security reasons. All one has to do is go to DOD and see where the fatalities are happening. Every city has major issues. Are they rebuilding the infrastructure?
Yes, and we do see areas of improvement, but only under heavy US security.

So I’m suppose to believe what Condi says? No thanks.

You have not heard what she says, only cherrypicked snippets, all out of context.

Your media and your party, the Democrat Party, have to edit and truncate every single word, even their own.

The point is that media in US and Europe did not cover the fact that SecState went to Iraq, or who she met with and what she said to them. Xinhua, a Chinese newservice did. They also cover a wide range of stories throughout Iraq. Not just the bar at their hotel in the Greenzone.

My media? I don’t recall telling you where I get my daily info. I could be watching Fox, O’Reilly, Hannity or listen to Rush for all you know. Did they report on Condi?

I agree....see my first post.
