CBS's Lara Logan Declares US Defeated In Iraq

Like that even means anything.

[My2Cents]

Lara Logan: We hear very little about victory in Iraq these days.

Thanks to people like Ms. Logan and her colleagues in the media.

I saw that interview last night....through most of it...Abizaid looked at her like he was humoring her..

But, when she pronounced that we would lose the war...he was not so happy...he was really good through the whole thing, and she sounded like an airhead.

[Argus]

They think if they shout Defeat through their megaphone often and long enough, it will come true. The way things are going they might even be right.

[rocksblues]

Increasingly in this country, news people and Democrats are talking about how to manage defeat in Iraq.

There that's better.

Our recent election has made the Moon Bat Mediots bolder and ever crazier.

They are stabbing every warrior in Iraq in the back, and they know that.

[Recon Dad]

I heard her shoot this question out last night as I was trying to find the football game. I was stunned by her questioning. She didn't just slip it in once she tried a few times by saying "everyone agrees that we have lost the war".

The general was having none of it.

[lmr]

Once the Democrats came back into power in both houses, we were defeated. We lost the war here, not there. What should we have expected from a MSM that reported almost all the bad news from Iraq and almost none of the good and worked to beat their anti-war and anti-Bush drums until their crescendo on election day? Now, they say we should surrender, and surrender the American people will. They are right, we lost. Our soldiers didn't lose, WE DID.

"People are talking about how to manage defeat in Iraq."

I wish Abizaid have replied, "Aside from the people in your newsroom, tell me the names of other prople who make the claim that we are defeated."

[rhombus]

OK whose opinion about war am I going to believe? Abizaid or some news person named Lara Logan? Be serious. I'll stick with the General and pass on the Lois Lane wannabe.

   CBS USEFUL IDIOT

[kitkat]

The liberal media said the same thing about VietNam. They were lying then, and they're lying now. It worked then. We can't let it work now.

[elcid1970]

Yeah, just what other geostrategic advice did "General Logan" have to offer?

Insufferable reporterette infobabe airhead!

[samm1148]

From Wikepedia:

William Joyce (April 24, 1906 – January 3, 1946), known as Lord Haw-Haw, was a fascist politician and Nazi propaganda broadcaster to the United Kingdom during World War II. Controversially, he was executed for treason by the British as a result of his wartime activities.

"I wish Abizaid have replied, "Aside from the people in your newsroom, tell me the names of other prople who make the claim that we are defeated.""

Cindy Sheehan, Jack Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hollywood, the Upper West Side of Manhattan, NBC, ABC, CNN, PMSNBC, The NYT, The LAT, WaPo, Time, Newsweek, PBS, NPR. Should I continue?

[fishergirl]

It's got to be one of the harder parts of Abizaid's job to have to talk to idiots like Lara Logan with a straight face.

[Nasty McPhilthy]

She's not worth the powder to.......

If you havn't been here, it's time you did.

Just Remember Chris Matthews said months ago that if President Bush wins victory in Iraq, that he deserves to be memorialized on Mt. Rushmore. Lets work even harder for that to happen and General Abizaid and all of Our Brave Troops and Citizens are accomplishing truly remarkable and Great results.The Democrats are desperate now for defeat andd they are loosing. Go back to Our Freep poll today. 80% want to do whatever it takes to Win in Iraq. The Dims won their few seat of majority by running fake horses and the trash of the DBM!
