July 2, 2004 -- IRAQ veterans often say they're confused by U.S. news cover age, because their experience differs so greatly from what journalists report. Soldiers and Marines point to the slow, steady progress in almost all areas of Iraqi life and wonder why they don't get much notice — or in many cases, any notice at all.
Part of the explanation is Rajiv Chandrasekaran, the Baghdad bureau chief for the Washington Post. Chandrasekaran's crew generates a relentlessly negative stream of articles from Iraq. Last week, he had a Pulitzer-bait series called "Promises Unkept: The U.S. Occupation of Iraq."
The grizzled foreign-desk veteran — who until 2000 was covering dot-com companies — now sits in judgment over a world-shaking issue, in a court whose rulings echo throughout the media landscape.
He finds the Bush administration guilty. Such a surprise. Before major combat operations were over, Chandrasekaran was already quoting Iraqis proclaiming the U.S. operation a failure.

Am I having déjà vu, or was this already posted?
It was, but not in the NY Post.
I started reading this and 'knew' I read it before.
Yes, it is, but the person who posted it can't be held to knowing that as it's in a different publication under a different title.
In any event, it is a fabulous article and worth reading twice. LOL!
bump
So, how are we going to get rid of these traitors?
It's just a tad of frustration on my part as there seems to be an epidemic of dupe posts of late - as if the Search Function is broken. (general hint; search using 'key word')
Heck, a few days ago one story was posted eight times (The Dems & Felons 'news'). And all one had to do to see it was already posted was search "Felon" and the threads came up.
And I just don't like taking the time to compose a nice pithy comment (sarcasm) and then find the thread later closed because it was post #4 of the same article. It's f-r-u-s-t-r-a-t-i-n-g after the third time (more sarcasm).
Gotta go, running low on ammo - and the neighbor's dogs are barking -- AGAIN.
JUST KIDDING :-)
