This article is absolutely priceless. I have been conducting a long drawn out debate with a friend from the UK who is hung up on how we have Lost the Peace in Iraq. He is way too young to know much about WW2 other than what the leftist EU media has told him and this article nails the atmosphere of doom and hopelessness right after that war.

Some of the wording has changed, the reporter used Conquerors referring to Americans while today we are the Occupation forces. This article should be required reading for every American. I would love to see W go on Prime time TV, and read this word for word. That would be a presidential briefing to remember.

The reportorial forebearers of today's media.Dos Passos went from being a near-communist in the 1930's to being a true prominent conservative in the 1950's. You can see in this article that by 1946 he had discarded all idea of the Red Army being the savior of the world. While he probably makes too much of US troops looting, the truth is that the greatest generation did have its share of thieves. By historical standards, the discipline of US (and British) troops in Iraq is an extraordinary achievement of which this country should be proud.

Up until Krystalnacht (when Hitler turned his thugs loose on Jewish owned businesses and homes), the western press was full of fawning on the man with impeccable taste in dress, manners, politeness to women, the health-conscious non-smoker, the man who wrought the German economic miracle and restored their national pride. Time even named him man of the year in 1938. The western lamestream media has always had a fondness for leftist dictators. And make no mistake, Hitler was a leftist!

I'll bet CNN is pissed that they didn't exist at the time to make this their top story.

Bump for later absorption.
