Did you know that 3100

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

Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, and
that all
currently operating?
Did you

Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have 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
operate
day and night, and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4
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 every 8 weeks?
Did you
know there are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq?

railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water

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!
Tragically, the lack of
accentuating the positive in Iraq yields two
results:
1. It undermines the world's perception of the United
States, thus hindering
consequent support;
and
2. It discourages American citizens from supporting the
war.
