This was send to me By My niece, you all know I've mentioned that she was over there putting in her Army time..
Did you know that 47 countries have re-established their
embassies in
Iraq?
Did you know that the Iraqi government employs 1.2 million
Iraqi people?
Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364
schools are under rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and
38 new schools have been built in Iraq?
Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure
consists of 20
Universities, 46 institutes or colleges and 4 research
centers?
Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United
States in
January 2004 for the re-established Fulbright program?
Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have
five 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry
regiment.
Did you know that Iraq's Air Force consists of three
operation squadrons, nine reconnaissance and three US C-130 transport
aircraft which operate
day and night, and will soon add 16 UH-1 copters and four
Bell jet
rangers?
Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a
Commando
Battalion?
Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000
fully trained and equipped police officers?
Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that
produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?
Did you know there are more than 1100 building projects going
on in Iraq?
They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83
railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69
electrical
facilities.
Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of five
have received
the first two series of polio vaccinations?
Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in
primary
school by mid October?
Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers
in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%?
Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consists
of 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?
Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of
2004 and that the Iraqi economy is BOOMING?
Did you know that two candidates in the Iraqi presidential
election had
a televised debate recently?
OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!
WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?
OUR MEDIA WOULDN'T TELL US!
Because a Bush-hating media and left wing liberals would
rather see
terrorism prevail in the world rather than exercise some
common sense and patriotism.
The lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves only one
purpose.
It undermines the world's perception of the United States and
our soldiers.
All of these facts are verifiable on the Department of Defense
website and many other independent sources.
Please pass it on!
