Commentary

The underlying reason why America is doing so poorly in the field of "information warfare" against the Jihad is that its traditional organs of articulation -- the academy, media, Hollywood -- are largely hostile to the War on Terror itself. It's conceivable that an Iranian might flee persecution only to be taught at a US university that he ought to embrace it by the many academic departments whose point of view is exactly that. In a fundamental sense, the War on Terror is twinned to the greatest single issue dividing the Left and Right, which is whether the United States, as a nation, is legitimate or whether, as some would maintain, it is Amerika: an abomination whose demise must be hastened by any means necessary.

Thanks for the DUmmies FUnnies thread. It surely shows that a person won't learn when they won't listen to what's being said.

"Johannes cited the example of a minor battle that lasted only 30 minutes but was reported as a major conflict that caused high coalition casualties. The general who was involved in the fighting later said that he and his forces had been victorious on the ground, but the terrorists "had won it on CNN."

"TET SYNDROME", again.

"The more the MSM slime liars convince the American public we are in a quagmire. The Bush will appear to have done the impossibile when this is over.

Agree! Now what constitutes "over"?

The secular Sunni have realized they have no LONG TERM interests in common with AQ. If "over" is a result in which there is - No Saddam and No AQ, civil war or no civil war - isn't it already "over"?

If "over" includes Iraq being a democracy, is it "over" the day the government is seated?

What constitutes "over"?

"What constitutes "over"?"
