Following is a quote from a recent speech given by Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld; I don't think he could have defined it more clearly. This example shows how our media is covering Iraq and the lack there of.

"You couldn't tell the full story of Iwo Jima simply by listing the nearly 26,000 Americans that were casualties in a brief 40 days at Iwo Jima," Rumsfeld said of the World War Two battle against the Japanese for the small Pacific island.



''To be responsible, one needs to stop defining success in Iraq as the absence of terrorist attacks.''


"So too, in Iraq, it's appropriate to note not only how many Americans have been killed -- and may God bless them and their families -- but what they died for, or more accurately what they lived for," Rumsfeld said in his speech at the John Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.
