If anything good is in the media, people think it's just "spin" from the POTUS to make it look like we're doing good in Iraq.

I'm not so sure that is altogether true. Good news is there, you just have to look for and recognize it.
OTOH headlines are to sell not to inform. Apparently the sheeple wish to buy sensationalism.
Just the other day I saw a piece on NBC where two reporters had just returned from Iraq and reported that things are getting better after the beginning of the surge. It was there, how many noticed?
I would like to see a neutral exit poll of all returning soldiers.
Around the time of the WRAH s candle I produced a web survey. You would be surprised at the results. Very few complained about their treatment and housing and none had anything bad to say about the VA, Interestingly the facilities cited were Army but all you seem to hear about ore the VA. If I can reactivate it it would be interesting to see what this neutral group would have to say.
