Help the President politically?!!
We are in a war arguably the most dangerous foreign war we have ever faced -- not just Iraq but the entire war to defend against radical Islam and our own internal enemies -- and the mainstream talks politics!!
If the politicians take up that or a similar theme then this is no different from the Vietnam era. No wonder General Franks (retired) warns that a WMD attack here will mean the end of the Constitution for the duration. Adults will take charge.
It takes a Daniel Pearl or a David Bloom to get the media's attention where it belongs (sadly, not a Michael Kelly).
Short of one of their own being killed, everything is now seen through the lens of partisan politics first.
