The New York Times reported "The State Department report estimated that foreign fighters account for only 4 to 10 percent of the 20,000 or more insurgent fighters in Iraq." though it pains me to use them as a source. I will until I find other, what I like to think of as more reliable source. 10% of 20,000 hmmm 2000? Each month we kill about 30 on average? Since 2003. Thats like 1020 so far? or 5% of the total. Not good, but better than nothing. I am looking for the State Departm

Clearly, if this is from a DOD press release 1. it must be truthful, and 2. no research is needed. Now, if you believe this the boys in the Pentagon will sell you another war. Here's the thing, all news organizations get these press releases. Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN...no one reports them because its sort of like reading the stats on hog futures from the Chicago market.<

My guess is that those numbers are not so good, in which case it might indeed be better to say nothing at all. Say nothing at all??

Reply to United 93: Are you going to see it? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Everyone should be required to see it, to make people wake up and remember what happened that day, not just on Flight 93. Americans have very short memories and if something is not fixed in a matter of hours or days, it takes to long. A lot of Americans could learn a lesson from the people on that Flight. That some things are worth more than life itself, and that is standing up to these animals and showing them that some Americans are not the sheep they think we are. God bless those people and g

You don't watch the news on TV? Or read the newspaper? Or browse the news web sites? All the information you want on the numbers you are looking for is there in big bold headlines. Its the other side you can't find. The numbers of innocent civilians being killed by the terrorist is too high, one is too high. But you will find that the number of attacks has dropped dramtatically, a quote from MG. Lynch; “ We believe that 90 percent o

To win a war, you win the battles one at a time. He who has the best training, equipment, and troops usally wins, even when out numbered. We have all three, and given the ability to fight as soldiers are supposed to be able to do, and the TIME to ferret out the enemy, we could easily win this war. We are, slowly but surely reducing the number of the enemy, and at a faster rate then they can replace them. Look at the numbers of enemy from other countries being captured or killed, it is going d

Happy (Illegal) Immigrants vs. Outraged Conservatives in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

Collectively, the New York Times’ articles on the rallies in support of illegal immigrants would make for neat souvenir programs for marchers to take home. As examples of balanced journalism, however, they are feeble indeed. Nina Bernstein covered Monday’s march in New York City by illegal immigrants and their supporters, and managed to avoid the term “illegal” until her 12th paragraph. “The hotel housekeeper from El Salvador had taken a precious day off from cleaning up after tourists.
