Freedom Fighters? Hardly…
In Iraq, there are many such as Ted Rall who proclaim the insurgents as glorious freedom fighters and heroes of their people.
Then, the truth comes out. We’ve not seen Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, or Zarqawi strap suicide vests on themselves and run at Americans. No, these courageous men prefer to use disabled children and make them kill themselves instead.
Why we aren’t winning this PR war, I have no idea, but you’ve got the insurgents killing civilians by using kids saying they are declaring war on democracy, and we are the bad guys? What other testament of media bias does anyone need?
