Morris right on almost every point. However, he fails to identify the culprit in one of his main points: the MSM, and how their slanted Iraq coverage affected people's perception of the war. That, and the fact that the republicants were too gutless to get the real word out.

That's what ticks me off most about Bush. We are in a war. PR and constantly getting the word out every day as to WHY we are in this war is in itself part of the war. Bush failed on this count. It's not enough just to point the military some direction and say 'attack'. He knew (or his advisors knew) the MSM would distort things yet he didn't do much to counter it.
