Does anyone else notice that in regards to the war, the news only reports the number of US servicemen killed and not the enemy?I'll be honest, I think I have read one report that tallied the dead enemy and it was after about a week long battle. Like this....http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090806/ap_on_re_mi_ea/us_iraq_us_deaths. These tallies get updated weekly, yet you never here how many militants/insurgents/terrorists were killed as well. Im not saying that the US fallen should not be recognized but come on. The only thing you will see is a headline that says "US airstrike kills 15". These ridiculous headlines leave you to assume that the US just killed 15 civilians. Then as you read the Associated Press reporter will say that they were civilians while the US Spokesperson will say they were militants.

Its almost like they only want to report the bad news!-sarcasm

they are doing the same thing they did in Vietnam during the Tet offensive. I will never understand why the american media wants us to lose any and every war.:confused:
