Mark Levin read today’s column in the New York Post by Ralph Peter ‘A Forgotten War’ yet first he commented:
Here’s an excerpt and the link. It is worth the time it will take you to read the whole thing:
Far fewer Iraqi civilians are dying at the hands of extremists. U.S. and Coalition casualty rates have fallen dramatically. The situation has changed so unmistakably and so swiftly that we should be reading proud headlines daily.
Where are they? Is it really so painful for all those war-porno journos to accept that our military — and the Iraqis — may have turned the situation around? Shouldn’t we read and see and hear a bit of praise for today’s soldiers and the progress they’re making?
The media’s new trick is to concentrate coverage on our wounded, mouthing platitudes while using military amputees as props to suggest that, no matter what happens in Iraq, everything’s still a disaster.
God knows, I sympathize with — and respect — those who’ve sacrificed life or limb in our country’s service. I just hate to see them used as political tools.
How many of you really believe that those perfectly coiffed reporters care about our soldiers and their families? Does anyone think those news anchors will invite any Marines in wheelchairs home for Thanksgiving?
Poor Rush,Can't even enjoy the dam superbowl this year.And it took two government motor's to beat one Ford Fusion...

I would like to expand, if I may, on your comment about the media Mark. On Veterans day you reminded us of the sacrifices our great citizens have made in previous war efforts in part by recounting the death tolls from previous wars. The numbers are mindboggling to this 26 year old who has never witnessed that sort of sacrifice in my lifetime by our country.
Let me be clear, each soldiers life that is taken in the wars in Iraq and Afganistan is a tragedy and I would of course like the death count to be as minimal as possible. That being said, the fact that in a time where military progess is reality, the media in our country tries to put a negative spin on it. With the exception of the Gulf War, can anyone in your beloved audiance and beyond name one war in which we could in a minutes time recount the casualties for a single days effort. In WWII we lost many thousands of brave souls at D-Day and it is considered a successful mission. Today, we can lose five soldiers in an isolated event because of a roadside bomb and we hear calls for retreat.
Recently a major news organization reported that no war or terror related deaths in Iraq was really no news at all. Translation… I don’t have any negativity to relay so i will keep my mouth shut.
When will we demand better for our troops? When will we get to hear about the schools back in session, the markets open for business, and the 10’s of thousands of Iraqi’s returning to Baghdad? Our brave men and women deserve better.
Thank me for my post!
Everyone dislikes war. These people dislike our military. They dislike the Administration to the extent that they perfer defeat over victory. For all practical purposes they exhibit such anti-American sentiment that, even in their defense, I cannot conclude that it is anything less than treason. I wish it were otherwise.
Being a paralyzed Vetran myself not for a second have I ever doubted todays military from taking care of buisness,It’ only the fat cat Congressthat have me worried because of thier mostly hatetred of those who keep us FREE
1oneshot, thanks for your service. As a disabled vet I would trust you to defend our liberty over a brigade of liberals. At least I can count upon what side you are on.
