Everyone at FR knows this.
I SO look forward to our MSM going down the tubes.
Dinosaur Media Deathwatch(TM) away!
the problem is, they have a second window of opportunity as they try to influence the American Presidential election. That assassination of the American officers on December 26 by embedded insurgents might be the strategy for their surge.
Thank you walter crumkite! scum media at its best, The blood of many innocent young boys are on your hands. I cant believe these idiots almost fell for this trick again. Shame on you despicable politicians on both sides LETS SEE IF YOU CAN GET OUT OF THIS WHEN YOU SEE THE MAN UPSTAIRS!

Mudville nails The New York Times
One particularly glaring sequence was documented by milblogger Greyhawk at the Mudville Gazette. The New York Times’ front page headline for March 27, 2006 read: “30 Beheaded Bodies Found; Iraqi Death Squads Blamed”:
BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 26 — The bodies of 30 beheaded men were found on a main highway near Baquba this evening, providing more evidence that the death squads in Iraq are becoming out of control.
Two days later, Major General Thurman in Iraq exposed the story as a hoax. The Times buried its retracted headline in a paragraph seventeen, where it was joined with fresh claims of sectarian massacre:
The police in western Baghdad discovered 14 bodies on Tuesday, all killed execution-style with gunshots to the head, apparently the latest victims of sectarian bloodletting. On Monday, Iraqi forces found 18 bodies near Baquba with similar wounds. Earlier reports of 30 beheaded bodies found in that area were wrong, the Interior Ministry official said.
“Apparently the victims of sectarian bloodletting,” but not actually the victims of sectarian bloodletting. On April 2nd Stars and Stripes reported that the 18 victims near Baquba had been murdered by al Qaeda terrorists dressed up to look like Iraqi military. Al Qaeda was trying to make it look like the country, and the Iraqi military, were descending into “sectarian bloodletting”
When the Times learned how it was being used by al Qaeda, it should have issued a front page apology and promised not to be duped again. Instead, the Times just kept on reporting each al Qaeda ploy with the same fresh gullibility. It was a game of footsie between them, striving on both sides for American defeat.

Thanks for the ping. Hope you have a nice evening. The enemy from within proves the most dangerous.

A GREAT piece. Original thinking? Well, how far have we come when obvious, common sense and uninhibited by political correctness plain talk looks like brilliance.
Those who do not state the obvious truth about Jihad will sadly end up enabling jihad.
Excellent article. The democrats very nearly lost this one for us. I hope one of the lessens learned from this war is that the military needs to find a way to combat enemy propaganda at home. It appears the military had a very effective counter-propaganda campaign in Iraq. This war could have been lost if only one or two things had happened differently. For example, if 2006 had been a Presidential election year, we might have ended up with a defeatest in the White House.
THANK YOU for posting this excellent commentary!
All Americans who fell for the medias lies in Vietnam, should be disgusted with themselves. They should be the biggest backers in our Iraq efforts.
