the media is out to do what is best for the media...
make money, sell drama, keep people reading...

the us will pull out of iraq probably prematurely because the terrorists know how to play the media game. They attack every couple of days with just enough to catch reader's eyes and make us think "wow, our troops are getting whacked left and right! maybe they need to get out of there, the iraqis obviously dont appreciate our presence"
how often do you see articles about the silent majority who probably feels pretty good about what we are doing there?
bush is gonna crack eventually, just a matter of time, elections are coming up... wouldn't it be nice though if he did the right thing and stayed until the job was done right, and avenge his father's mistake of leaving saddam alive. I know what i want for christmas!
