Victor Davis Hanson once opined that the war in Iraq could be won in 30 days if all media coverage were banned. The chance of that happening is pretty close to zero (unless, of course, Hillary gets elected).
But there are curious rumblings in the mainstream media. After five years of relentless antiwar reporting, after five years of headlining the mistakes and miscalculations of the Bush administrations, two events last Sunday signalled a possible turnaround in the way the 'mainstream media' covers the war.

Somebody went on vacation...gonna be hell to pay when they return....
LOL!
All good humor contains a hard grain of truth.
I just saw a pig fly by my window.
You saw the pigs that flew out my ass ? < har har har >
Interesting new headline on Drudge:
‘Whip’: Dems Will Be Split If Petraeus’ Report Is positive’
I’m inclined to think the media has gotten wind of a positive report are are positioning themselves to be able to say they were for the war all along.
could be, but it is doubtful that many of them are getting out and about from their hotel balconies within the green zone.....lots of folks are hedging their bets, including the on-vacation shia gummint of iraq
P.S.
next thing we’ll hear of is the media demanding refugee status for their iraqi etc “employees” in iraq
you-can-get-anything-you-want-at-ali-ces-res-ta-raunt. LOL
Curious indeed...
And that is most likely what is happening. The MSM is getting out ahead with this for the sake of their credibility: to avoid the sudden "shock" of disparity to the public between what they've been spoonfeeding us for the last five years and the actual report from the ground. Think of this as a transitional tactic for the purpose of saving face (and subscribers for that matter).

The dems will just take another 7-10 days to catch on but trust me... by the last week in august they will be on the same page as the former critics.
“Going anti-war has never won the democrats a presidental election.”
That’s never stopped Dems from being anti-war. Ever since Vietnam,it has been an ingrained and inflexible article of faith...
To this point that is true, but these folks are desparate beyond our comprehending as it applies to winning the White House. I rule just about nothing out.
” I rule just about nothing out.”
Very smart. Especially when Hillary is involved. (Don’t forget she still has those 900 FBI files:)
Well, I wouldn’t doubt it. When we had control of the Senate and the House, why didn’t we go after them on those files alone? Amazing...
” why didnt we go after them on those files alone? Amazing”
Most likely because the ones in a position to ‘go after’ them had stuff in those files they wanted to keep under wraps. Hillary having possession of all that dirt is far worse than the DC madam’s phone list...just think of the ramifcations if she decided to leak...
You know what, I would rather see my own fortunes go south than let the likes of Hillary beat me. I might go down, but that witch would be toast on the same day.
