>>I began this comment by asking "Why is this called the CBS ambush?"
I think it is not anywhere but the writers mind.

Did ya read the whole thing???

The ambush technique coordinates blood-spilling violence with sensational imagery and rhetoric using a dispersed network of media operatives, guerrillas and terrorists. Networked, Coordinated Blood-spilling plus Sensationalism -- hence the technique's acronym: the CBS ambush.

It's amazing that many think the Pope was talking about Muslim/Christian relations at the time. If I understand correctly, he wasn't. He was doing a historical review of Plato's relevance to Christian theology, and the islamic quote tied into that debate.

With this I disagree. He's a very smart guy. He knew exactly what he was doing. And I commend him for it.

What happens when the Left here in the USA, and in the DNC, begin to worship not only the Iman nutter from Iran but the devil Chavez? Will anyone, whether Pope, politician, or media ever attack the corruption of Chavez or any other leftist pol like the dope in Bolivia that also insulted the USA at the worthless UN in the last 24 hours? My guess is, the MSM will love these guys as they do Castro and there will be even more hate spewed out against Bush and the USA as the Nov. elections come nearer. The Dems will love it as it undermines Bush and makes the Pope and other opponents of these evil people look weak and ones who continue to put America and anti-Islamofascists appear as breaking relations with our world allies!!! Yipe. As if somehow, world allies represent holiness, civilization and ones who stand for true liberty, peace and freedom.

Plz see post #20. THis is an acronym that was invented by writer, not used anywhere else and designed to connect it to CBS tv.

As bad as CBS is, this was a cart before the hore thing.
