Did you know?
I didn't know!
THIS is what Our Country has accomplished
How could we know?
Did you know that 47 countries' have
re-established their embassies in Iraq?
Did you know that the Iraqi government
currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?
DID YOU KNOW
that 3,100 schools have been renovated,
364 schools are under rehabilitation,
263 new schools are now under construction;
and 38 new schools have been completed in Iraq?
Did you know
that Iraq 's higher educational structure consists
of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research
centers, all currently operating?
Did you know
that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in
January, 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program?
DID YOU KNOW
that the Iraqi Navy is operational?
It has 5 - 100-foot patrol craft,
34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.
Did you know
that Iraq's Air Force consists of three operational squadrons, which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft (under Iraqi operational control) which operates day and night, and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?
DID YOU KNOW
that the Iraq Army has a counter-terrorist unit and a commando battalion?
Did you know
that the Iraqi Police Service has nearly 55,000
fully trained and equipped police officers?
Did you know
that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq
that produce 3,500 new officers every 8 weeks?
Did you know
there are more than 1,100 building projects going on in Iraq ?
They include 364 schools, 67 public medical clinics, 15 hospitals,
83 railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water-production facilities,
and 69 electrical-distribution facilities.
Did you know
that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5

Did you know

75 radio stations, 180 newspapers, and 10 television stations?
Did you know

Did you know
that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had
a televised debate recently?
OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!
WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?
BECAUSE OUR MEDIA WON'T TELL US!
Instead of reflecting our love for our country,
w e get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib
and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.
Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive
in Iraq serves two purposes:
It is intended to undermine the world's perception
of the United States thus minimizing consequent support;
and it is intended to discourage American citizens.
