Attacks on US troops in Middle East have diminished, Pentagon says (armytimes.com) Looked through CNN and MSNBC and saw nothing of these apparent attacks. Fox News has article from a few R's in Congress. Are we taking the right stance in very little response or are we allowing the bully to push harder and get away with it?

Why am I not surprised by the original post in this thread? Not the first time and certainly will not be the last time that a thread was started with a post accusing the mainstream media of not covering a story when the original poster is almost always someone who most likely never reads or views the called mainstream/liberal media(CNN, MSNBC, the NY Times and/or the Washington Post) that he is criticizing.
Excuse the tone of my OP if it was taken as the mainstream media is not covering these attacks. That wasn't my intent. I looked at the front page of both and down several pages and didn't see it being covered as to the growing number of recent attacks. You are correct that I have no love loss in the media's bias, but my concern was not on the media's coverage but more on the US response. Is the response adequate or should we be doing more to discourage these attacks.
I think we should attack the Chinese. They’ve placed their country entirely too close to our military bases.
Well I suppose we could withdraw our forces and stop being an empire that imposes its will around the world, until then though ...
