MUST SEE VIDEO: HOW MEDIA AROUND THE WORLD VIEW AMERICA IN AFGHANISTAN. IS US MEDIA TELLING THE REAL TRUTH?

U.S. TV news finally focuses on Afghanistan.

Why did it take so long?

And what will they show us?

Since President Obama announced plans to deploy another 17,000 troops to Afghanistan, and possibility of up to 40,000 more US troops to Afghanistan, the U.S. networks are finally setting up bureaus there.

But while the American focus is on U.S. troops and the political implications of Obama's policies, the international media is telling a different story.

From the Middle East, there are reports of missile strikes, civilian casualties, and Pentagon ineptitude. And Russia reminds the U.S. that they have been there, done that with disastrous results.

Also Sunday, a police official in the western city of Ramadi said two people, including a policeman, were killed and four wounded when two car bombs exploded minutes apart in the visitors' parking lot of the city's Traffic Police Directorate.
