Get it or not, he pretty much slam dunks everyone (as I would expect) and also calls the administration's policies for what they are in conjunction with the problems he might have with the media (liberal or not). He has plenty of blame to hand out. I guess since you like what he has to say so much you are willing to admit he is right about a deeply flawed strategy in Iraq coming from the Bush administration...hmmm(?).

It is no surprise about the media; they can't get things right like the Duke University Lacrosse team rape investigation trial. He points to this type of situation and what his issue is; the media is way too hasty in trying to get out a story....so...the facts are you can't admit that what we have been doing in Iraq is gravely flawed (he says this), then you don't actually agree with General Sanchez when it comes down to brass tacks(?)

In the end, CNN or any other media outlet you consider the boogie man did not declare a war in Iraq. It was the Bush administration who did this and actually it is well documented the media was very behind them at first. If the first things would have been done right (the War on Terror) the reaction of the media would not have existed in such a negative tact. Now, since one by one things started to go wrong in Iraq and FACTS about grave flaws in the entire motivation and policy were found, the media (for good or bad) went full speed ahead to get a story out. Did this happen with the first Gulf War? Go ahead and ask yourself that.

Don't be hypocrite and play smorgasbord with your views here...

Well yes I will admit the strategy is flawed--just as I will admit that liberals are the best monday morning quarterbacks ever--who never play Sunday. Just because I support the war doesnt mean I agree with every decision made by Bush and his administration. You either fight a war all the way with everything you got--or you dont fight at all.

So now after my admital--will you admit that this war isnt like any previous war the US has been involved in. Maybe its closest to vietnam--but never before has the US fought a war where there isn't a front line of some kind--there are no enemies wearing uniforms--and where there is no such thing as enemy territory. The US had never experienced such a variety of suicide attacks--IED's--and these new enemy tatics. Admit that an all-star team of democrat monday morning quarterbacks wouldnt have handled operations any better. And admit that compared to other wars--the low number of US casulties in Iraq and Afghanastan would be considered a huge military sucess in any other war--or any other time period in history.

Republicans get support from one cable network--a few radio stations--and a couple major newspapers. Admit it--the rest of the media is liberally biased--just as its stated in this thread--and how its been stated everyday for a long--long--time

I think vietnam was a far worse war , no doubt about it . kids wired with explosives , killing their own people while killing US soldiers, that was a bad deal, no doubt about it.

But give the war in iraq a little more time , it will get there .

Especially since it looks like Bush is going to be stupid enough to bomb Iran.

It will get there .

The general explains how the media contributes to the deaths of our troops. But the media didnt cover that part!
