"Grieving Mother"? Hell, she doesn't give a good rat's a$$ for her late son. All she cares about is her dance in the limelight.

"...the larger tableau of bad news for the US effort in Iraq, dominated by a US military death toll approaching the symbolically significant 2,000-person mark, and faltering Iraqi efforts to draft a broadly acceptable constitution."<

After almost 4 years and two wars, Afghanistan and Iraq, our casualty figure, and thankfully so, still has not reached the 3,000 total that the terrorist killed in just a few hours on September 11th.

The cost this demented woman will pay in the end is horrendous. the biggest cost will be her family,she has burned every bridge with them and once you've burned them its hard to get back. when the media has wrung every drop from this crazy they will toss her to the street and all those friends she thought she had... well they will be gone. no family ,no friends, no one for her to turn too will probably make her suicidal. but this is what she wrought all by herself.I don't feel sorry for this creature and I haven't for weeks now. shes a traitor and she knows it.

I'm glad they went out of their way to find objective commentators like Prof. Alexander Bloom:

Oh, wait. I see Prof. Bloom of Wheaton College signed a petition at www.historiansagainstwar.org. Nice work objective journalist.

These polls drive me nuts - this is the media reporting on the success of their own disinformation campaigns!

These media polls report the public's opinion on matters on which the public has no opportunity to gather first-hand information. All they reflect is the public's perception of the situation based on biased reporting, selective omission, and interpretation by predominantly left-leaning media.

The media keep up those practices and do some polls and over time find that they have turned sufficient numbers of the clueless that a majority now reflects the media's favored opinion. Then they publish the polls and more of the clueless see that and say: wow, if most of the people think that it must be true.

From there on, it becomes a self-fulfilling exercise that only ends when a major lie is exposed or another major event occurs that directly contradicts the media story - so major that it can't be missed even by the clueless. But if you have an election before that happens, you'd better hope that the clueless are too clueless to know where to go vote, or too drunk or too lazy.

Polls are an editorializing tool.

Didn't quite know what to do with it, so I'm giving it to you. : )
