The media's dangerous game of intentionally fighting and spinning everything the President does for our protection, just to get him out of power, will eventually come back to bite them in the posterior.
Last night in the car I was listening to "CBS Radio Neuse." The newsreader said something to the effect of, "Was there a connection between Saddam and al Qaeda? The Bush Administration has been saying, 'Yes,' for some time. But now the 9-11 Commission has come out and said there is no connection." Gorelick strikes again?
I know that 9/11/01 is fast becoming ancient history, but as I remember things, we went to war in Afghanistan, not Iraq as a direct result of 911. Iraq is certainly an extension of that same policy, but for the media, you'd think Afghanistan did not exist.
I need a slightly better article than this to send my mom. She's a potential first time GOP voter. But stuff like this needs to be countered, and I am afraid this article doesn't do it sharply enough. I shall scour FR for a suitable essay today, so long as "work" doesn't get in the way.
The media went beyond spinning this story, they have completely lied about it. The reporting was disgraceful.
This is no different than the way the media treated David Kay's report. Of course, in that case, Kay seemed to be willing to be all things to all people, depending on who was interviewing him.The Al Quida - Iraq connection was not a “lie”, it was based on the best information available at the time.
I was not supportive of the resumption of war with Iraq, but now that we are there I will support every aspect of it until we are able to honorably (not the “peace with honor” of Viet Nam) withdraw and leave the new Iraq able to defend its self.
I wish the President would supply the Liberal Media with as much documents as possible proving this liberal media bias then use news conferences to advise the public of the contents and to which media they supplied these documents. Basically it calls the liars what they are!
