Finally Noticed

By Semperpapa

A total of 18 American troops have lost their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq since May 1, until this morning when a suicide bomber in Kabul exploded 750 kg of explosive hidden in his car, targeting a NATO convoy.

The tally is heavy, with 6 NATO troops and 12 civilians killed. Of the 6 troops, 5 were Americans and the sixth’s nationality is yet unavailable.

So while the loss of the previous 18 went unnoticed by the national media, finally now the loss of 5 in one attack gains the headlines.

How irrelevant the national media has become? There is very little contribution that they have in the actual reporting of things that are of great importance for our Nation.

The leftist media is too busy trying to spin the disastrous Obama administration, increasingly playing the cheerleading part in the farce that our government has become.
And Fox News is too busy with Miss America to concern itself with our Military.

Of course the approaching Memorial Day weekend will give them the chance of some flag waving, but what is missing is the true dedication of the so called “information outlets” to really report on the sacrifices that our men and women are making in far away lands.

Just my very angry thoughts!
