ORIGINALLY- My readings began on the "DRUDGE REPORT"- http://www.drudgereport.com/ when I came across the story, " Israel Siezes North Korean Nuclear Material from Syria " http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article2512380.ece -Clicked that piece on- and started going down the " Continuously-Open Doors " of Other Available RELATED News Stories! But I scanned around this open page looking for any other possibly interesting further material to read.

In the "NEWS" section- Where I Assumed that Title & Section would still connote articles containing : OBJECTIVE reporting, with Fact Based, VERIFIABLE, Experienced and Known Sources- I had went on to follow & to read - under the title of " Explore Iraqi News " , THIS above "News Article".

It was here My eyes-as an alert reader- rested upon a panel a little down on the left side of the page - stating here was some more " BACKROUND " material I could also read through to further gain more "Knowledge" and facts so as to make an Educated and Complete Personal Opinion of all info included in " The Surge " progress and history up to date.

There I came across THIS article ( which theme looked very familiar from another past , Later Proved Mis-Quoted & Proven Wrong article" Secratary of Defense ROBERT GATES's Taken out of Context Comment? http://www.mrc.org "ABC touts "Straight Talk" from Gates on Iraq that Matches Media " CyberAlert.) concerning again, another " High Administration, and/or Main Military Person " making what what presented as a Very Negative, Contradictatory & Confusing Comments in the face of their (past ) Present Supportive & Positive Reporting of the Coalition "SURGE" just recently Reported on in Washington, D.C.!

It was THEN I realized-once again-that Obviously this News OUTLET had simply (And probably quite Innocently!...er...) mistakenly placed this SUBJECTIVE Opinion Piece in what is suppose to be the OBJECTIVE, Fact based News "Reporting" area.

I mean-after all- This paper wouldn't un-responsibly and purposely place a Opinion piece, written by a New Republic author Known for his Anti-War, Anti-Bush stand in the NEWS section UNLESS they prefaced such a piece with the normal " The Following OPINIONS here do not express the..." fore-warning expected.

But Forget even THAT for a moment.

Forget that the this Piece PRESENTED as " News Reporting" is nothing more than an article full of Personal, Un-Fact Based , SUBJECTIVE Opinions.

Forget too that this Known Anti-Bush, Subjective & Biased Author falsely presented His OWN personally Held & Subjective VIEWS as FACTUAL and WHITE-HOUSE-STATED " REASONS FOR U.S.'s (And a "Colaition" of allies? Aren't THEY there some where in all of this?) Involvement in Invasion of Iraq and desposing of the Saddam Hussien (AND Sons) Regime.

(WHY does the Media want Usay & Qusay Forgotten??)

And even TRY, if you can, to forget the normal & expected from the left reporting using listings of " Un-Named " and therefore Un-Verifiable "Sources" as their Sole Proof in backing Un-Verifiable statements but Opinions of their and the author's own agenda. And...

Try to forget , AGAIN!, the CHEERY PICKING , and taking out of context of Quotes that were used with the planned aims to Purposely Mis-direct readers and direct & shape popular mass opinions and polls, WITHOUT the leeway or giving of any Fair Opportunity to Equally Confront said charges and statements .( It IS always easy by media elites to attack on the weekend where any defensive response would be slow if non-existent at all, in being publically & Immediately made !)

MY main (Rhetorical) question and CONSTANT complaint though ,concerning these numerous instances of ABUSE OF OWNERSHIP/Editors of Such Known-Name News Outlets/papers concerning such as this article is- " Do I ( and the public ) have to always Constantly Have to Read On through TON of all the Vitriol, Propaganda, Subjectivity and mis-represented as "NEWS" Left-Leaning Drool in these articles just to find that in the VERY LAST SENTENCE & Paragraph Lays the Suppose NewsBusting Item/POINT at which the Original Title was written for in the first place!

Or is THIS just the normal, repetitive,everyday in the liberal media press, formality to ensure the Public get LEAD through the Constant Propaganda? and stays ontop and Brain Washed with all of the Left's Main Propaganda Speaking Points!?

And they all wonder why they are losing Readership and advertisers!

DA

PS-Maybe some, what are losely called " Papers " should simple preface on their front & Following pages warnings such as, " To any Alert Readers; Please immediate inform us if you may accidentally come across ANY : Facts, Verifiable Information or Actual Cross-Examinable SOURCES given here is our paper ! So as that we may Immediately Stamp Out This annoying and counter to our Agenda, Non-Controlable Items interferring with our Own Propaganda! Thank You ; the Editors...."

You can’t trust the media to accurately reflect any presentation or speech. The media will always filter out all the positives and distort and exaggerate the negatives to fit their farout leftwing American-hating views.

I guess Sullivan is deaf. I distinctly recall Pres. Bush on several occasions before we EVER invaded Iraq saying the WoT would take a “generation.”

Why do I suddenly feed the urge to reorganize my pantry and plant orchids?

“The realist and moderate Republicans” Surrender crowd.

The Times cant stand the thought of victory. Oh well, they can go fawn over Hitler II at Columbia tomorrow.

Does anyone actually believe a war can be fought where everything falls into place and there are no setbacks. We’ve been at this war for four years and have lost only a little over 3000 of our men. No one would have believed that when we started. We were told at the beginning it would be a long hard slog. Americans I am afraid have lost their spine. It’s very sad.

The whole article is based, seemingly, on Patreaus’s response to a J Warner question asking whether this war has made or will make us safer. The Generals initial answer was something less then strongly affirmative but he restated his feelings later on.

However, like the children they are, the ever hysterical left is holding fast to what they believe was a less then positive outlook, in fact what they consider to be a capitulation to ultimate failure.

besides that the article is a week old and i haven’t heard anything else about this except for today on this forum and the day after he answered the question. Seems like an attempt to revive a dead story, but I could be wrong.

Once again, THIS IS THE REAL WAR.

The real war is against the irrational and incoherent mythologies of the Leftists who control so much of the general public debate. Through their control of the information and entertainment industries and academia, they wage a war of disinformation and misdirection.

Theirs is a philosophy of guilty, one-sided perfectionism and fantasy. They are what they are.

When historians look back on the past week in Washington, I suspect they will see it as a seminal moment

Knowing who Mr. Sullivan is, and what he does with his genitals, I found myself unable to work my way around this sentence....
