Schorr told the Wall Street Journal's Matthew Rose "I had to eat a little crow. I have never been in Afghanistan and know nothing about Pashtuns and the rest of it." That wasn't enough to stop him ...
Of course not! They will never learn and they will never stop!

Schorr told the Wall Street Journal's Matthew Rose "I had to eat a little crow. I have never been in Afghanistan and know nothing about Pashtuns and the rest of it." What a crummy excuse. It explains only why his prediction was wrong. It does not explain why he made a prediction in the first place when he admittedly knew "nothing about Pashtuns and the rest of it".
Here's a suggestion, Dan. The next time you're reporting on something and you lack information, try telling people that. There's nothing wrong with saying "it will be difficult to make any predictions because we know so little about the Pashtuns." You could even get in a little dig at your competition by saying "and those people who claim they do are fooling themselves." People actually appreciate honesty, and you won't have to eat any crow. But then responsible reporting like that wouldn't fit your agenda, would it?

Clueless leftist ranting by the HATE AMERICA\BLAME AMERICA FIRST media elite! And they call it "responsible", "unbiased", reporting of "facts"! HA! These a$$holes know nothing about the military because NONE of the scumbags has ever been in it! Just like 90% or so of the politicians in this country!
