I can't remember seeing any "happy pictures" coming out of there in months.

Surely, "B" could get the twins to have some photo ops with the school children there.

1. Why isn't Bill O'Reilly over there reporting on all that good news?

9. Not a peep out of Bill or anyone else

that I recall.

Not ANY good news stories about ANYTHING in months.


Seems like "B" would have taken us on a visual tour when he stopped over there in the dead of night for his last visit.

2. Spreading Education isn't a "conservative" value
Anything children need to know to get by in the life which is planned for them can be found in their religious books. Pride in ignorance!

3. Because they aren't building any "new" schools.
I heard/read somewhere that our ever-so-unreliable-no-bid-contractors have done shoddy work or no work at all on rebuilding schools destroyed by our many attacks on Iraq. And building new schools? I dunno 'bout that.

5. I think it's because
when you mention there location, they are promptly burnt down and teachers are killed.

7. I've read/heard that reason, too.
Both Lara Logan and Kimberly Dozier have reported as such.
