It Is All Perspective - MSM Style
I love to read Iraq The Model......their view of Iraq is priceless; particularly after reading the MSM babble on #s killed, etc.This time I was amazed at the clarity of Mohammed's revelation:
"There are heroes, and there are criminals. The two never equate as victims.
There is one video I wish I can find on the web. It's a short video that was shown on al-Iraqiya last Friday evening and was replayed several times that night.
Until I can find a way to get a copy of the video and put it up I will try to share with you a description of what I saw…
It's about a police station somewhere in Iraq, the place was about to be hit by a suicide bomber riding a vehicle laden with explosives.
The driver approaches the entrance to the station which is surrounded by concrete walls. Several police officers open fire from their ak-47's on the incoming suicide bomber but he keeps closing in.
As the vehicle passes through the gate and past the last barricade all of the officers run away seeking shelter…except for one extraordinary man.
One police officer held his position and was still standing in the way of the terrorist and kept on firing his rifle at the windshield until the vehicle was just meters from the officer, then…BOOM.
End of video….
I watched the video over and over again and my amazement grew with every time I watched it…this is incredible…this is heroic…this is happening.
2 dead, (n) injured in a car bomb. That's what we would read in the news next day and then someone would come to make a body count and make a study about the human cost of the war and list the two men from the two extremes of this conflict, both as victims of the war!
So the policeman is a victim and the bomber too is a victim?…it sounds so cruel and unfair. A man who died to save his colleagues and a beast who killed himself to kill others cannot and must not be both counted as victims.
One is an anti-life criminal while the other is a hero, but on paper, some idiots describe them both as victims of the war.
Who knows?! Maybe there are some other idiots who count the 4,000 foreign terrorists whom al-Qaeda confessed were killed in Iraq as victims too!"
I find this mind-boggling as a study in how Iraqi folks feel about the stupid, useless bombings and, more-importantly, the MSM coverage of same, sanitized and counting only numbers.
