The media just doesn't get it. Had the word been leaked and the mission aborted, the media would have mocked Bush. Had Bush's plane been shot down, they would have had all kinds of post-mortem criticism for the "cowboy". In any outcome, he gets criticized. God they infuriate me.Oh, they get it, alright. That's the way consuming hatred works. You find "reasons" to attack those you hate when they do "x," and you find reasons when they do non-x. Because the reasons are beside the point.
