why do the evil acts of terrorists receive more attention in the media than the victories of American soldiers? Our men and women in uniform are skillfully tracking down and killing terrorists throughout Iraq, but we rarely read about their accomplishments in the media or hear about their successes on the nightly news. As U.S. troops risk their lives daily to protect American families, their victories deserve our attention. Earlier this week coalition forces killed Abu Zaid and Abu Hassan, two al Qaeda terrorists who personally assisted in beheadings and were responsible for attacking Iraqi and coalition security forces. Fortunately, these murderers have met the fate of leading al Qaeda terrorists in Algeria and Saudi Arabia. By eliminating these monsters, coalition forces have saved the lives of countless Iraqis and Americans. The American people deserve to know about the triumphs of our troops and their efforts to protect American families. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11. ____________________
