We all know that the media and newspapers hardly focus on the good things that happen, not just in Iraq but here in the US, too. Seems that it is time that the media started putting a positive spin on things and maybe this old world wouldn’t be such a dark place. check out this link for some of the good things that are going on in the War on Terror:

Boy, did I get a dime-store variety on answers on this one…lol. For the record folks, most people who know me would call me a LIBERAL. SOOOO, to all you naysayers out there, I say "Get a Grip"…you see what you want to see and you hear what you want to hear and there is no amount of positive or negative that is going to change that…only you can do that.

Secondly…..I have a son who is a Chaplain’s Assistant, 1st Calvary, who is currently stationed in Taji, Iraq…just outside of the green zone. In June, he was home for his 2 weeks R&R and we had a long talk about how things were. There are a lot of positive things going on in Iraq and that is what we should focus on. When you get down to it, the number of troop deaths compared to the number of troops who have touched Iraqi soil in the last 5 years, plus the civilian casualties still do not amount to the death of previous wars.

Enjoy life…think positive.
oh..and by the way…here is another site you should visit often:

for those who comment about the DoD being part of the Bush Regime…I hardly doubt that every single person at the DoD is a die-hard Republican.

Per the article, Obama is helping small businesses to get loans.

According to many in here, that seemed to be one of the ways to boost the economy. Now that President Obama is addressing this, what will his naysayers gripe about now?
