What will you say once the civil war takes full effect and another million die ? WILL you still be gung ho for this ?[/quote:75486]

Probably, but I'll have to wait until then to know for sure. I still supported what we were doing in Vietnam after the Tet Offensive. I believe in finishing a job once you start it.

Machette, how much electricity were they getting before? I'm sure they are having problems but according to what I have been reading they are making steady improvements and I think the news of doom and gloom are being overblown.

For anyone interested in a long but interesting read, check this out. Its written by some guys at the US Army War College (where my dad used to teach) and discusses what went wrong in Iraq. It discusses which criticisms of the administation are founded and which ones are not. I think that both sides would find it interesting.

elecricity demands are up now they more freedom has been given. That's no excuse for a low output, but it doesn't help when you have nut jobs blowing themselves up in strategic places that ruin electrical lines.

Violence + turmoil = better rankings. Anything the media can make a big deal about over there, they will. That's the definitive answer for you.

Actually war is not usually a good subjet for the news becuase of violence and turmoil. It is a good subject becuase it is not a short subject, it will probably be there for a quite a while, and it cost a lot of YOUR money so there for people will pay more attention to it and will watch the news in order to see where their money is going. I forget the term for this type of story and im not really interested in looking it up.

no, Vance was right, it's definately more for ratings than anything else. Remember ratings? those are the things that make channels money, and that's why they want them.

And that brings up another important point.

Is it not the media's responsibility to broadcast subjects that deeply effect those they broadcast to? Is it not the media's responsibility and obligation to ask probing questions and investigate details?

I think most will say yes. But, the $64,000 questions is, does the pursuit of capital compromise this ideal?

Does it?

I think i'm way off topic.

Cobra, I hope most sincerely that your American counterparts on this board disagree with your hardcore views.

lmfao, that man is so much more of a man than you - I'd like to see you even make it into the SAS, let alone serve in it for 9 years...

You're just a useless vagina, EVERYONE who posts on this forum is BETTER THAN YOU.

Machette 03-25-2006 03:23 PM

Tripper I appreciate that post.
