"Oh Mighty and knowing friend from the great northwest: Have you heard nothing of the relief efforts, and the
improvements to the infrastructure that our troops have provided in Iraq? Probably not. Ti has only limited
reporting."

i didn't ask for your usual hearsay, i asked for facts and sources. if these efforts have only limited reporting, how did you hear about them? maybe you could cite your sources.

"The good news is hard to come by, and, when it is rarely reported, one has to be acceptable to the
reportage. IMO, you wouldn't accept anything other than a "discouraging word" about anything your country did if it jumped up and bit you in your ass."

why is this news so hard to come by? where did you hear it reported and what agencies were involved and how extensive is it? if you know about it why can't you tell me where to look to find it? as far as your opinion about what type of words i find acceptable regarding my countries' actions, i'll harken back to your own earlier statement as to what opinions are worth.

"Does that answer your inquiry?"

not at all but it is what i expected from you.
