Saddam had no connections to terrorism pre-US invasion
Al Qaeda was not operational in Iraq pre-US invasion
The US mission in Iraq is failing to deliver a democratically-elected government in Iraq
Iraq cannot field substantial numbers of security troops
The invasion of Iraq is not helping protect the US from terrorists, rather it is hurting those efforts
Al Qaeda is winning; we have lost blood and treasure for nothing
Invading Iraq was all about oil
Middle Eastern countries can't handle anything other than Saddam-like dictatorships
Only the UN, and certainly not the US alone, can bring order to Iraq
I'm not trying to overstate our successes or diminish the work to be done. I'm just saying that apparently the MSM have been taken by surprise, when they were supposed to be objectively monitoring the situation there.
Send in Dr. Phil!
Odd how I don't see similar qualifiers at the end of stories on Haditha.
Too bad they didn't give our Marines at least this much benefit of the doubt. But, there they are again....carrying water for the insurgents. Making sure the readers know this could be propaganda.
This defensiveness on the media's part tells me one thing: they know that the US is winning this war and that the terrorists are slowly being ground down to nothing.
Just the fact that Zarqawi was betrayed by one of his own says that the terrorists have a significant segment who no longer believe they can win.
And that is the best definition of victory: when the new government is established in the minds of the Iraqis.
"President Bush - Saving your ass whether you like it or not!"
jane harmon on w/ John Gibson said this indicated nothing since there is NO independent verification of their authenticity. JUST AS RUSH PREDICTED!!!
Definitely NOT Jack Murtha's fault.
She needs to call up the CBS document experts to verify them.
Things are definitely looking far better than the MSM are reporting.
The announcement by Maliki of a possible amnesty can help the situation with not only getting some insurgents to lay down their weapons but take away any excuses later from those who continue to fight.
Yesterday at the President's news conference he mentioned that Maliki was going to enforce the weapons ban in Baghdad, that's the only mention I've heard of it. MSM didn't want to play that up I guess.
Liberals are soooo predictible. Their spouses must find life with them boring, after the first 6 months.
"Fake but accurate."
Jane Harmon has been losing her marbles quite consistently lately on the Iraq issue. I think she's getting tremendous pressure (threats) from the RAT masters. Sorry to see it, she was usually a fairly reliable voice of reason from the rodent side.

Very well said!
My point in posting this is that the MSM have been caught with their agenda sticking out, once again. I don't think most people care because I don't think they trust the media to portray the news accurately.
But in the long run I think this helps Bush and the Republicans, as things they claim are becoming obvious to even the densest DUmmie. (Which of course makes them hate Bush more.)
They'll just have to reverse that headline on this story.
And this is BEFORE Zarqawi's death and all the raids and dead terrorists as a result.
