Media: We Can Lose This War If We Try

Gotta love that liberal media - not.

Not only will they shape coverage to undermine American interests, they'll even brag about it if you give them the chance.

At the same time, Cuomo and Washington Post reporter seemed to be proud of the media's ability to turn Americans against the war in Iraq. Kurtz, who has written a book on the subject, asserted, "I believe that these newscasts in 2005 and 2006 played the biggest single role in helping to turn public opinion against the war."

Can we question their patriotism now?

Well, well it looks like the Marines want to cut and run.

Sorry brown people, we invaded your country, killed a lot of your people but now have to move to a more POPULAR war. We need to catch bin Laden - after all, it HAS been over SIX years since 9/11. Thank you for your understanding, surviving brown people. Sorry about the ones that didn't make it. Semper Fi!

It doesn't appear that BobInStamford even bothered to read the entire article that he had linked.

Bob, the Marines is an offensive combat unit which has always been the spearhead of any major offensive in every war of our country. The idea makes sense to transfer the Marines from Iraq to Afghanistan as the Taliban still hasn't been routed out as well as the bleeding from Pakistan. The Marines has always done a better job than the Army at containing the enemy. So ya, as Mark said, you didn't even bother to read the entire article.

We can expect a lot more redeployments in the coming months but for reasons exactly the opposite of that portrayed by brown-people-hating boob.

RELEASE No. 20071010-07

Sunnis, Shias put differences aside for peace
Multi-National Division – Center PAO

KALSU, Iraq – The government of Musayyib hosted a celebration of security and

economic growth at the city’s police station Oct. 8. In a move to help reduce sectarian violence in North Babil, leaders from the predominately Shia city of Musayyib came together with sheiks and
representatives of the largely Sunni region of Jurf As Sukhr to share their
optimism for the growth and development of the entire area.

With Sunni extremists influence such from the north and west, and rogue Shia
militias from the south, the region surrounding Musayyib and Jurf has been a
sectarian fault line for years.

With the security celebration in Musayyib, the sectarian tensions are
beginning to show real progress. The chairman of the Musayyib Town Council, Thamir Thaban, and Sheik
Fadel Yousif, a representative of the newly formed Jurf As Sukhr government, gave speeches praising the drop in violence and pledged to continue their work together to bring a lasting peace to the region. Thaban is a member of the Sadrist political movement, while Fadel was once a leader of the Jaish Al Islami.

With these two former enemies coming together, they have created a bond and a possible model for all of Iraq to further reduce the sectarian violence which has plagued the country.
