The guerillas and terrorists in Iraq, whether Baathist, Islamist, or both, have a single goal: to make the war politically unpopular enough to cause us to pull out. That's it. That's the whole plan. They've got nothing else. They can beat us in no other way. Got it?
Sorry, should have renamed the title - that part is not bull.
The rest however is.......
In this specific context, the deliberate twisting and selecting of news and coverage to enhance American failure and setbacks, while ignoring progress, is a major factor in this effort.
They can squall like a wet cat at the implication, but the fact is that protesters, biased newsmen, and those who are attempting to engineer our failure in Iraq are helping the people that are blowing up Red Cross buildings and killing our soldiers in Iraq.
At least Ed has the balls to call them traitors directly - it's what your words amount to. And is still complete bullshit.
You ignore any mention of progress in Iraq by the media.
You continually point out perceived biases.
You continually dismiss the body count as irrelevant.
How does a given article in NYT enable a rocket attack in Baghdad? Are we still on the same f'in planet here? Earth calling Tom?? Hello???
The war is being fought in political debate and the newspapers as much as it is in Iraq.
You serious?
They can squall about free speech, too. Just because the government has no right to shut them up does not mean that what they are saying is helpful.
And oh, yes. Tell the protesters to save the "it's our patriotic duty to criticize the government" crap for the rubes. We all know what their motivations are, with their dreams of another Vietnam-style defeat for America, and patriotism doesn't have jack shit to do with it.
Again, just come out and say anyone who disagrees with the way things are going is a traitor.
You are still 100% wrong, but I know nothing I can type here will convince you otherwise.
