The Lamestream Media Won’t Report This
So we'll do it.
In HABBANIYAH, Iraq, a nine-year old girl was playing with her cousin. Much later, Riyam explained how her cousin had been trying to close a heavy, metal door in front of her aunt's house when the door became unhinged and crashed down upon her body. Her skull was crushed.
US servicemen in the area sprang into action, managing to keep the girl alive until she could be flown by Marines to a trauma center, where a team of surgeons went to work. Nobody expected her to live. Yet a month later, she walked back into the TQ center from which she'd been airlifted.
"The Iraqi people of Habbaniyah hear what the coalition forces have done to save my grand daughter, and they cry. They are very grateful and you have gained them to your side," said Riyam's grandfather, Aved Shihan Ghathaib. After Riyam's operation, coalition forces learned that Ghathaib was a sheik, or tribal leader, in the town of Habbaniyah.

Thank you for bringing this story to light.
Sadly, the hate that passes for the left knows little, if any, bounds.
Questions…
1) Why are we to believe anything written in a military blog? They’re censored, you know…
2) Why a big metal door? Do you suppose it was protection from the war?
3) Why unhinged? Damage from the war, I suppose?
SVC - the Left will not report positive stories, so we have to do the grunt-work.
Possum - there are under- and non-reported stories coming out of Iraq. Why should we believe anything in the New York Times? They’re censored, you know - just to a far-left slant.
I have a big metal door on the front of my house, which I had installed after some dork kicked in my wooden door during the course of a burglary. Of course, my steel door is state-of -the art. Nobody’s going to break through that sucker.
As for the hinges on the door in Iraq: can you say "third-world country"? Didn’t think so.
I’ve noticed that you ignore the positive news coming out of Iraq; preferring to focus as much as you can on negatives. You’ve taken the posituve news I’ve brought out, for example, and have deliberately chosen to ignore it all. You focus instead upon ways to minimize or denigrate the positives, and look instead at any way you possibly can to blame the USA/Coalition forces.
They saved a child that should have died, but that doesn’t rate a mention in your comment. That saved life resonated in that part of Iraq, but it doesn’t rate a mention. Nope, you’d rather go with the herd, and portray everything as negatively as possible.
Do what you think you’ve gotta do. We’ll continue making inroads toward peace without you.
