In the New York Times this morning:

Kinda sad that the paper who put this out is so far behind the current state of affairs in the issue. Sad and funny.

The military has learned your writer is a damned liar; what more do you need?

The military can’t prove that the things he made up didn’t happen.

They don’t need to look very far. The military investigators for Iraq have already announced that they’ve completed their investigation and found Beauchamp’s allegations to be lies. See Michelle Malkin’s column today for more details: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MmVlYTlhN2IwZTRiZjY2NWNhNDFhMmM5NGY3NTc5ZDE=

Maybe the Army should fax them a copy of the statement the guy signed stating that his articles were crap.

It has gotten to the point that the agenda driven left wing media cares so little about accuracy that it won’t even acknowledge when it gets caught promoting lies. As Marx taught the Bolsheviks; everything, including humanity, decency and the truth, must be subordinated to the cause. To them, the only morality is prevailing, and the only immorality is failure. It’s become a propaganda jihad.

For the sake of accuracy, it’s Beauchamp, not Thomas.

In an e-mail message, Mr. Foer said, "Thus far, we've been provided no developed no other evidence that contradicts supports our original statement, despite directly asking the military for any such evidence it might have to betray confidential information," adding, "We hope the military will share what it has learned so that we can resolve this discrepancy do our job for us."

There. Fixed it.

‘Tis sad when a mag O’the left collapses. Actually, it’s not sad at all. It’s friggin’ stupendous. Stupid is as stupid does. The editor is the same mental class as the Goracle.
