"Clinton Strikes Back at Pentagon Aide"
This erroneously and with malice misidentified Undersecretary Eric Edelman as a "Pentagon Aide". In polite circles this is known as an insult.
"Clinton first raised the issue of troop withdrawal planning in May, pointing out that whenever U.S. forces leave, it will be no simple task to transport the people, equipment and vehicles out of Iraq, possibly through hostile territory."
This is quite literally none of Senator Clinton's business. It is strictly a matter for the Executive Department. As Undersecretary Edelman accurately and appropriately pointed out:
"We are always evaluating and planning for possible contingencies. As you know, it is long-standing departmental policy that operational plans, including contingency plans, are not released outside of the department."
And then AP gratuitously inserted the "Big Lie".
Democrats also directed some of their ire at then-nominee Kerry, contending that he did not respond quickly or forcefully enough to broadsides such as the unsubstantiated allegations from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth fully substantiated their charges. Then-nominee Kerry (in my opinion a coward and traitor) not only failed to refute them but did not substantiate any of his wild claims of clandestine missions.
AP continues to prove itself an enemy of truth, freedom, and the Republic.
Heh, AP’s bias isn’t too subtle, is it?
AP doesn’t for “Associated(with terrorists) Press” for nothing.
