We talking about the war, or the sudden massive media pessimism barrage of the last week or so? Not that it's coordinated or anything, but I can't help but notice that when the DNC calls a tune, an awful lot of news organizations play it.

You remember the similar "the war is lost!" line that was taken during the April uprising?

Which firmly anonymous officials are discussing a classified document with the press? If this document is released to the public, will it end up saying something a lot different than this third-hand account, as happened with other such documents?

And anyway, can you believe what our intelligence agencies say about the situation in Iraq? ;)
