Networks Jump on “Anonymous” Book Author’s Critique of Iraq War
An “anonymous” CIA officer who was demoted from the position of leading the tracking of Osama bin Laden, lashed out in a new book, Imperial Hubris: Why the West Is Losing the War on Terrorism, at both the administrations of Presidents Clinton and Bush. But in jumping on the book’s criticism of going to war in Iraq, the networks on Wednesday night concentrated their stories on his attacks on the policies pursued by President Bush. Only NBC’s Andrea Mitchell gave a sentence to his criticism of how the Clinton administration didn’t take seriously the hunt for Osama bin Laden and only CNN’s David Ensor, in outlining what U.S. policies the author says bother bin Laden, such as demanding low oil prices, noted that he suggested something which is an anathema to liberals: Drilling in ANWR.

I won't take any person like this serious. This dude is throwing rocks and hiding like a coward.
If a dog had a sign on its back saying "Bush Sucks", the media would literally jump on it and do a Monica, IMO.
And if he was taken off the bin Laden chase in 1999, it's a clear indication that he didn't know what the hell he was doing.
So the book criticizes Klintoon?? I did not know that. That's a fatal error to make with the lame stream media. If the author had stuck to Bush bashing, the press would be celebrating the book as gospel.
I bet it's Joe Klein.
If it is Anti-Bush, it is news fit to report. They don't need no stinkin' confirmed sources. The MSM needs to be sent to their room for poor behavior.
Will the soft underbelly of this country catch on to what they are being fed?
Perhaps all the guys on the bench should critique the guys on the field and talk about how the guys on the bench could be doing a much better job.
That's the way to win a game or a war.
Klein is another Adam, "Major League A-Hole", Clymer. The former could have saved the country a lot of grief by reporting, rather than gathering material for his lucrative novel, "Primary Colors". Klein should be shot as a traitor.
