Who is this General LYING on CNN??
He just said that 75% of Iraqis have more electricity a day than they had before the war. He also said that residents in Baghdad have about 7 hours a day of electricity.

I'm so SICK of the LIES!!!!

1. Imagine if Americans had 7 hours a day of electricity.
OMG, the whine would drown out all noise in the universe.

4. By a strange coincidence, the average TV in USA is on 7 hours a day...
So I don't think Americans would notice...

oops! It appears the average now is 8 hours 11 minutes:
Nielsen Reports Americans Watch TV at Record Levels

...so you might have 1 hour 11 minutes a day of bitching and moaning.

2. Turn it OFF. It's election time propaganda. Nothing to hear of substance.
Lying is the only truth these people know.

5. Baghdad residents have less electricity than before, some other
areas have more.

It's generally less reliable.

Violence, kidnapping, gangs, sectarian violence have all surged.

Under Saddam, some people were targeted. Under the U. S. occupation, all people are targeted (by someone).

When Law and Order breaks down, you have a Mad Max world. And we helped create it.

7. There will be lots of open mil jobs soon...he's lining himself up for promotion
That guy was probably a General Of Propaganda, working a desk job in the states.
