But wait a minute, the long-term strategic situation and its impact on US national security can't be important because ABC/CBS news ignores it. They only report on the US and Iraqi casualties that happened today and that's all that matters to them.

That's a good point, but it also works in reverse -- and is the primary reason why I will never buy the NY Post again. If you pick up that newspaper on the day after a major incident in Iraq with large numbers of U.S. casualties (Fallujah in the spring of last year, the two incidents last week, etc.) you'll notice that they deliberately bury the story somewhere in the bowels of the paper. On the day after the U.S. lost 14 soldiers in Iraq, the headline story in the Post was something about Martha Stewart or a sex scandal involving a school teacher in New York.

The NY Post doesn't need to report on US military casualties. They know we will hear plenty about casualties from the MSM.

That may be, but I will take the New York Post over the Times any day. The New York Times is to the democratic party what Al-Jazzera is to terrorists!

I suppose you're a New York Times fan though, right?
You're obviously related to DU posters.
