One other “L”. Leave it to the next POTUS.

Apparently that was the Republican talking point blast fax to the media version. How dare some of the MSM actually come up with their own synonyms.

The push-partisanship-damn-the-facts-full-speed-ahead operating principle of MSM these days is self-destructive as more and more turn to the ‘net for information.

I’m with you Uncle Ho!

BTW I thought Obama’s questioning was excellent. His question was…” If we could have the CURRENT status Quo in Iraq without any US troops in the country, would that be a SUCCESS??? Ambassador Crocker had a hard time answering that one!

Those who think this is about commercialism and the potential for bringing money in because of political blood sport have it all wrong. The conservatives have fought for media control for the past 40 odd years. They know the value of establishing their own media mythology of the biased liberal press. We have seen those few independent news persons and editorial staffs cowed by the attacks. We have seen the absolute inability of the press to call BS – well BS. It will not change until the progressives organize to take on and destroy the stranglehold of the conservatives’ natural ally, big business and the moneyed interests in our society.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) was an exception. In tones of resignation, Collins said that “success always seems to be around the corner” in Iraq.
