Assad is totally ignorant as to the cause of modern U.S. military “failures.” The U.S. military has never lost a war. We lost Vietnam politically, and the anti-war sentiment was driven largely by an anti-war media.

In June 1944, when the media was still pro-American, headlines were “Beachhead established in Europe!” The country’s mood would have been significantly different if those headlines had read, “6,500 GIs slaughtered on Normandy beaches!”

What Assad fails to realize is that every Obama toady in today’s MSM would instantly become Baghdad Bobs, and no matter what the reality on the ground, Obama’s war would be going just as well as his awesome economic recovery.
