Winning Iraq: The Untold Story
Dec. 3rd, 2005 09:40 pmThis aired on FNC tonight; here's a bit of a teaser that was posted on the National Review yesterday. If you see a repeat, watch! It's good stuff, important stuff.
Whenever anyone — typically conservatives — criticize the media for not reporting on the successes the U.S. military has achieved in Iraq, the inevitable reply comes, “Well, what if there isn’t any good news to report?”
As a matter of fact, there is. And fortunately there are a few reporters and news organizations who are getting outside the Green Zone, talking to Iraqis in other parts of the country and finding a lot of success stories out there. On Saturday night at 9 P.M. EST, Fox News Channel will run a documentary called, Winning Iraq: The Untold Story, in which correspondent Greg Palkot, who spent six weeks traversing Iraq, reports the side of the story that is too often neglected.
First, Palkot runs through the checklist of successes that have somehow become mundane: the formation of an interim government, free elections, a large and growing military, a former dictator on trial, a popularly ratified constitution, and a second election coming up this month. But then as his travels through the country begin, Palkot looks beyond those and other familiar stories.
