As violence has subsided and the U.S. focus is shifting to Afghanistan, “America’s three broadcast network news divisions have stopped sending full-time correspondents to Iraq.” The decision will likely move Iraq even further from the minds of Americans. In 2007, according to television news consultant Andrew Tyndall, the three network evening newscasts devoted 1,888 minutes to Iraq. This past year, through Dec. 19, Iraq received only 423 minutes of coverage. ABC, CBS and NBC refused to speak on the record about their decisions, but the New York Times reports that “the staff cuts appear to be the latest evidence of budget pressures at the networks. According to some executives, Iraq has been “the most expensive war ever for TV news organizations.”

Iraq will have a new President after there election. Once Obama gets in and takes the US troops out Iraq will rebuild with a new Leader. Iraq has a surplus of over 80 billion dollars and a strong Stock Market. The new Iraq President will bring charges against the illegal Iraq invasion done by the US.
Maybe they caught wind of something unfriendly about to happen.
By the way Iran is sending all kinds of relief to the Gaza strip, and their buddies in Egypt will take the shipments.
TGCN the US wont show the pictures of the woman/children killed in Gaza. The pictures and the children's school and homes were bombed now their getting ready to bomb the hospitals. Two different reasons given by Israel for the bombing. On BBC each Israel leader said something different. One was because Palestine bomb had killed one man then the other woman said Israel would wipe Palestine out because it's what the Jewish people want and the election is coming up. Now the US spoke person said it was because Israel will defend the killing of one man and make Palestine have the President Israel and Bush want them to have not matter what the Palestine people want. It's called American Democracy as free elections will not be allowed if people pick someone the US doesn't like.
