And why is it that reports from the troops in Iraq suggest that the
public is not seeing anything close to the whole picture of what is
taking place there?


Because reporting the whole picture of what is taking place there would
would make it harder to oust Bush next November. US mainstream media isn't
going to do anything like that.

Maybe it's because many Americans have concluded that Bush is better
than their opposition? In a world with 57 channels of news, talk radio,
Internet newspapers, and newsgroups like this, railing against the
mainstream media is futile.

From what I've been inferring, the U.S. is beginning to win the war
against the irregulars. It's a long way to go before the country is
secure, but it will happen if they keep this up. Capturing Saddam
didn't hurt.
