Casey is making the rounds on all the shows today. He is on with Wolfie now; Wolfie asking some stupid questions, imho. Casey is doing a great job, talking about the positives. Wolfie shows a clip of Operation Swarmer where the CNN "reporter" was an embed, and discussed how this was not really a mission, and went on the wag the dog storyline. GEneral Casey explained to Wolfie that the mission covered a broad section of Iraq, and that the "embed" was on a mission subset that did not include any raids. HEHE. LOL, Casey calls Wolfie Tim in response to a political questions. Casey does know what lane he is resonsible for and won't get pulled into the political debate that Wolfie is pushing.
Chalabi was just on w Wolfie here. Wolfie asked who was responsible for underestimating the number of insurgents.
Chalabi said he wouldn't have mentioned his name if he hadn't written a book, but since he did, he said it was Bremer.
I saw General Casey on two of the shows, and I thought he was lousy... slow, halting, unsure of himself and his answers. He's no General Abizaid with the news media.
The military needs to publicly raise Hell with the MSM in front of the American people -- for about the next six months on a sustained basis.
