The New York Times headlines:
Hiding Behind the General --
President Bush, however, seems to be aiming for maximum political advantage — not maximum clarity on Iraq’s military and political crises, which cannot be separated from each other. Mr. Bush, we fear, isn’t looking for the truth, only for ways to confound the public, scare Democrats into dropping their demands for a sound exit strategy, and prolong the war until he leaves office. At times, General Petraeus gives the disturbing impression that he, too, is more focused on the political game in Washington than the unfolding disaster in Iraq. That serves neither American nor Iraqi interests.Jules Crittenden thinks The New York Times is holding a surge of their own.
The Washington Post runs another poll, with an over-sampling of democrats, to make sure they get the answers they were seeking:
"Wide Skepticism Ahead of Assessment"And, even wider skepticiam since they over-sampled democrats for the poll!
If ever there was a doubt that the mainstream media was for this country's defeat-
look no further than this week's articles from the major media outlets.
Sad.
Let Freedom Ring looks at the democrats for Patraeus before they were against Patraeus.
Note: General Patraeus was approved by the US Senate 81-0 less than 8 months ago!
Who changed?... Patraeus or the Dems?
Oh, and Smokin' Joe Biden visited Iraq this past week and reported that the US troops are doing a good job battling Al Qaeda (Video HERE).
Isn't that the reason democrats want to leave Iraq? To go fight Al Qaeda?
When did this all stop making sense?
Instapundit has a roundup of Surge News.
UPDATE... Jeff Emanuel reports the facts from Samarra.
Glenn Reynolds is now siding with the peaceniks.
UPDATE 2: This is just sick:
A new poll suggests that democrats are willing to turn the same venomous attacks on military leaders as they did Bush in order to secure their desperation for defeat.Hat Tip Larwyn
I was not surprised before I was surprised!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd remember this is not about policy as much as it is about Bush Derangement Syndrome.
What makes you think the poll had "an oversampling of Democrats"? Virtually every poll shows that more Americans lean toward the Democratic Party than toward the Republican Party.

ReplyDeleteMSM = murder surge momentum..
D = despicable..

Rascal is correct. That is why the Dems got so freaking Much of the vote-
ReplyDeleteOh wait. They Barely got enough. Maybe the spin of the Earth has something more to do with which way Americans lean...

i see you're a headline drinker..
901. Generally speaking, do you usually think of yourself as:
Democrat.....Republican
.....31............24
904. Do you lean more towards the:
Democratic Party.....Republican Party
.....40.....................27
not only that..
a random national sample of "1,002 adults"
two things to consider..
one:
US Population
two:
when any poll states "adults".. it doesn't mean "voters", and if you knew how to judge polls, you'd know there's a big difference.. not only that, but that the WaPo is totally bias to begin with..
polls are just another self serving tool for finger waving which way is the wind blowing gaugers.. there is neither any substance, nor perspective afforded the mindless absorber..

Who changed?... Petraeus or the Dems?
ReplyDeleteMoveOn.org told the Dems to change or else they'd face primary challengers.
The party of JFK, FDR & Pat Moynihan, they ain't.
The proliferation of treasonous acts by the nyt and their democrat party sock puppets must stop.
ReplyDeleteWell the New York Times David Sanger claims there's less talk of victory now by the administration...
ReplyDeleteThen again did we expect any different from the propaganda rag that made the names of Jayson Blair and Walter Duranty famous?
BTW regarding this: "Glenn Reynolds is now siding with the peaceniks"...
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think so since I actually sent him a note asking him about it...
I don't think Professor Glenn is a liar...

Hello Professor Glenn:
Well now you think the plan as depicted in the WaPo is something you can live with, eh?
Why do you believe what the WaPo is reporting on this is actually factual?
