Iraq War a Failure - Evidence Mounting (from ATSNN)

Yet another story of a report from the front lines.

In a mass e-mail sent to friends a Wall Street Journal reporter explains the situation in Iraq (full text). In a story published by the New York Post, the editor of the WSJ is supporting the reporter.



This is the latest account from the front lines to come out �quietly� without getting national attention. There have been several threads on ATS in recent days on the repression of these stories in the mainstream media (see links below).

A front line account of the war has landed an Army Reservist Officer in trouble. His account of the situation titled Why We Cannot Win has lead to prosecution on charges of disloyalty and insubordination.

Another front line account by Naomi Klein was recently published in Harper�s Magazine. In an unprecedented move Harper�s made the article freely available to the public (Harper�s) in order to try and get the story out.

I can�t believe that the mess that is the Iraq war can be kept off the front pages for much longer given the evidence and first hand accounts now being made public. The current administration refuses to face reality and the mainstream media refuse to �go after� the story. They will undoubtedly continue to do so until after the election but reality is knocking on the door. Who is listening? And how much longer before it comes crashing through?

Gools the reason we are not getting much of the realities in Iraq is due to the weeks so close to elections, it is not in the best interest for the presidential candidate in power to have all these problems that are impacting the nation on the open.

Things can not be kept out for too long and we all know that news and accounts has been leaking out here and there.

We will find out after election the real deal in Iraq, and its going to leave a lot of people with a very sour taste in their mouth.

At least we have places like this one that bring good inside of the real deal.

I'm affraid you are right on that point Marge.

The US may be in for a huge post-election hangover headache no matter who wins.

You know is funny that we are spread so thin our troops are getting over exhausted and they are tired and their families also.

Bush said during the debate that our military will be a volunteer one but the truth is that if bush wins is not stopping him from bringing the draft and it will be the last four years of his government, and it does not matter what he does he will no be coming back and that is the scary though.

What will he do to get the "objective" he is so wanting to achieved.
