Are you getting the story?

Probably not, eh? It's hard, in the wake of CBS and AP fabrications, to know who to trust. From Iraq:

Rose verified a message I received from another Marine officer in Iraq. He provided perspective missing in the media: ''Those achievements, more than anything else … account for the surge in violence in recent days — especially the violence directed at Iraqis by the insurgents. Both in Najaf and Samarra, ordinary people stepped out and took sides with the Iraqi government against the insurgents, and the bad guys are hopping mad. They are trying to instill fear once again.''

Rose asked: ''Why isn't the media covering Samarra?''

That's a rhetorical question.

Iraq missions that work out are missing from mainstream media
