Ready for a shock? Below is an article from the
> London Times about our military. Interesting, it is! Our media
> coverage is shameful!
>
> Winning Isn't News
>
> By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
>
Iraq: What would happen if the U.S. won a war but
> the media didn't tell the American public? Apparently, we have to rely on
> a British newspaper for the news that we've defeated the last remnants of
> al-Qaida in Iraq .
>
London's Sunday Times called it 'the culmination
> of one of the most spectacular victories of the war on terror.' A
> terrorist force that once numbered more than 12,000, with strongholds in
> the west and central regions of Iraq, has over two years been reduced to
> a mere 1,200 fighters, backed against the wall in the northern city of
> Mosul.
>
The destruction of al-Qaida in Iraq (AQ is one
> of the most unlikely and unforeseen events in the long history of
> American warfare. We can thank President Bush's surge strategy, in which
> he bucked both Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington by
> increasing our forces there instead of surrendering.
>
We can also thank the leadership of the new
> general he placed in charge there, David Petraeus, who may be the foremost
> expert in the world on counter-insurgency warfare. And we can thank those
> serving in our military in Iraq who engaged local Iraqi tribal
> leaders and convinced them America was their friend and AQI their
> enemy.
Al-Qaida's loss of the hearts and minds of
> ordinary Iraqis began in Anbar Province, which had been written off as a
> basket case, and spread out from there.
> Now, in Operation Lion's Roar the Iraqi army and
> the U.S. 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment is destroying the fraction of
> terrorists who are left. More than 1,000 AQI operatives have already been
> apprehended.
>
Sunday Times (London) reporter Marie Colvin,
> traveling with Iraqi forces in Mosul, found little AQI presence even in
> bullet-ridden residential areas that were once insurgency strongholds,
> and reported that the terrorists have lost control of its Mosul urban
> base, with what is left of the organization having fled south into the
> countryside.
>
Meanwhile, the State Department reports that Iraqi
> Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government has achieved 'satisfactory'
> progress on 15 of the 18 political benchmarks 'a big change for the
> better from a year ago.'
>
Things are going so well that Maliki has even for
> the first time floated the idea of a timetable for withdrawal of
> American forces. He did so while visiting the United Arab Emirates ,
> which over the weekend announced that it was forgiving almost $7 billion
> of debt owed by Baghdad, an impressive vote of confidence from a fellow
> Arab state in the future of a free Iraq.
>
But where are the headlines and the front-page
> stories about all this good news? As the Media Research Center pointed
> out last week, 'the CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News and CNN's
> Anderson Cooper 360 were silent Tuesday night about the benchmarks 'that
> signaled political progress.'
>
>
The war in Iraq has been turned around 180
> degrees both militarily and politically because the president stuck to his
> guns. Yet apart from IBD, Fox News Channel and parts of the foreign
> press, the media don't seem to consider this historic event a big story.

Addendum: The reason you haven't seen this on

HEADACHE? EAT FISH!
Eat plenty of fish -- fish oil helps prevent headaches.
So does ginger, which reduces inflammation and pain.
HAVE FEVER? EAT YOGURT!
Eat lots of yogurt before pollen season.
Also-eat honey from your area (local region) daily.
TO PREVENT STROKE DRINK TEA!
Prevent buildup of fatty deposits on artery walls with regular doses of tea. (actually, tea suppresses my appetite and keeps the pounds from invading.... Green tea is great for our immune system)!
INSOMNIA (CAN'T SLEEP?) HONEY!
Use honey as a tranquilizer and sedative.
ASTHMA? EAT ONIONS!!!!
Eating onions helps ease constriction of bronchial tubes. (when I was young, my mother would make onion packs to place on our chest, helped the respiratory ailments and actually made us breathe better).
ARTHRITIS? EAT FISH, TOO!!
Salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines actually prevent arthritis. (fish has omega oils, good for our immune system)
UPSET STOMACH? BANANAS - GINGER!!!!!
Bananas will settle an upset stomach.
Ginger will cure morning sickness and nausea.
BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
BONE PROBLEMS? EAT PINEAPPLE!!!
Bone fractures and osteoporosis can be prevented by the manganese in pineapple.
PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME? EAT CORNFLAKES!! !!
Women can ward off the effects of PMS with cornflakes, which help reduce depression, anxiety and fatigue.
MEMORY PROBLEMS? EAT OYSTERS!
Oysters help improve your mental functioning by supplying much-needed zinc.
COLDS? EAT GARLIC!
Clear up that stuffy head with garlic. (remember, garlic lowers cholesterol, too.)
COUGHING? USE RED PEPPERS!!
A substance similar to that found in the cough syrups is found in hot red pepper. Use red (cayenne) pepper with caution-it can irritate your tummy.
BREAST CANCER? EAT Wheat, bran and cabbage
Helps to maintain estrogen at healthy levels.
LUNG CANCER? EAT DARK GREEN AND ORANGE AND VEGGIES!!!
A good antidote is beta carotene, a form of Vitamin A found in dark green and orange vegetables.
ULCERS? EAT CABBAGE ALSO!!!
Cabbage contains chemicals that help heal both gastric and duodenal ulcers.
DIARRHEA? EAT APPLES!
Grate an apple with its skin, let it turn brown and eat it to cure this condition. (Bananas are good for this ailment)
CLOGGED ARTERIES? EAT AVOCADO!
Mono unsaturated fat in avocados lowers cholesterol.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? EAT CELERY AND OLIVE OIL!!!
Olive oil has been shown to lower blood pressure.
Celery contains a chemical that lowers pressure too.
BLOOD SUGAR IMBALANCE? EAT BROCCOLI AND PEANUTS!!!
The chromium in broccoli and peanuts helps regulate insulin and blood sugar.
Kiwi: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, Vitamin E &fiber. It's Vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
Apple: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low Vitamin C content, it has antioxidants &flavonoids which enhances the activity of Vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
Strawberry: Protective fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits &protects the body from cancer causing, blood vessels clogging free radicals. (Actually, any berry is good for you..they're high in anti-oxidants and they actually keep us young....... ..blueberries are the best and very versatile in the health field....... .they get rid of all the free-radicals that invade our bodies)
Orange: Sweetest medicine. Taking 2 - 4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessen the risk of colon cancer.
Watermelon: Coolest Thirst Quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients
found in watermelon are Vitamin C &Potassium. (watermelon also has natural substances [natural SPF sources] that keep our skin healthy, protecting our skin from those darn suv rays)
Guava &Papaya: Top awards for Vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high Vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber which helps prevent constipation.
Papaya is rich in carotene, this is good for your eyes. (also good for gas and indigestion)
Tomatoes are very good as a preventative measure for men, keeps those prostrate problems from invading their bodies.

Dear Lord, the Great Healer, I kneel before You,
Since every perfect gift must come from You.
I pray, give skill to my hands, clear vision to my
mind, kindness and meekness to my heart.
Give me singleness of purpose, strength to lift
up a part of the burden of my suffering fellow
men, and a true realization of the privilege that is mine.
Take from my heart all guile and worldliness,
That with the simple faith of a , I may rely on You.
Amen.
