Did you know that, , , , ?

I am taking the liberty of copying this from an E-mail I received from the SOA.

Did you know that through the combined efforts of the coalition forces that . . . . .


47 countries have re-established their embassies in Iraq?

the new Iraqi government now employs 1.2 million Iraqi citizens?

3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and 38 new schools have been built in Iraq since the war began?

Iraq¹s higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers?

25 Iraq students departed for the United States in January 2004 for the re-established Fulbright program?

the Iraqi Navy is operational? They now have 5- 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels, and a navel infantry regiment.

Iraq¹s Air Force consists of three operation squadrons, 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft which operate day and night, and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell jet rangers?

Iraq now has a Counter-Terrorist Unit and a Commando Battalion?

the Iraqi Police Service now has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers?

there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that now produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?

there are now more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq? They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83 railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69 electrical facilities.

that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have now received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations?

4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October?

there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%?

Iraq now has an independent media that consist of 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?

the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004?

two candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a recent televised debate?

OF COURSE YOU DIDN¹T KNOW! AND WHY DIDN¹T YOU KNOW? BECAUSE OUR LEFT-WING, LIBERAL MEDIA DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!


The lack of reporting the positive in Iraq serves only one purpose: it undermines the world¹s perception of the United States and the morale of our armed forces.


This is verifiable on the Department of Defense website.
