VIOLENCE AND U.S. CASUALTIES YOU WON'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT BUT ON THIS BLOG

As CBS' Chief Foreign Correspondent Lara Logan recently said on the Jon Stewart "Daily Show," her editors have told her "once you have seen one soldier in uniform you have seen them all."

The mainstream media in the United States has completely turned their back on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan because as Logan said; "once you have seen one soldier in uniform you have seen them all."

The mainstream media in the United States doesn't give a lick about the 160,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and 30,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know this. Just look at any newspaper or watch any news show on FOX NEWS, CNN or MSNBC and the last thing you are ever going to see is a report about our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The most disgusting organization in the entire world is the mainstream media in the United States. They are bigger traitors to the U.S. military than anything Al Qaeda could EVER do.

The following acts of violence took place on Thursday in Iraq and Afghanistan. YOU WON'T HEAR A SINGLE THING ABOUT THEM ON FOX NEWS, CNN OR MSNBC. They are too busy covering BS stories like what Gen. Clark said about Sen. McCain or the latest teenage missing person.
