My take on this is that Monsieur Rich will keep declaring defeat until US forces do pull out of Iraq...then he can puff up his girly chest and say "See, I was right!"
Broken clock, etc...
He’s like a little kid, when faced with truth contrary to his desires, he puts his fingers in his ears and shouts, “I can’t hear you.”
He acknowledges his own cluelessness by describing screening the movie with wine-snipping, media and cultural snobs, and then proceeds to lament how “WE” don't want to know what's really going on in Iraq.
Well, Mr. Rich, if your definition of being informed includes the NYTimes or MS. Couric, then I am blissfully ignorant of what you consider important information.
However, unlike Vietnam, I have thousands of sources of information of what is going on in Iraq, and elsewhere in the world, and don't need Hollywood to interpret that informaton for me.
Yes and there he goes again thinking because he writes something it will be true. It must frustrate the left because they have so totally failed to excite the general public on Iraq. Most still do not want to see defeat and there is no real passion to get out of Iraq. If polls had intensity meters they would be flat lined on this issue. The left is screaming and the rest of us are just shrugging. As for anti-Iraq films why don’t they do something unique and come out with a Pro-Iraq film with Americans as the good guys kicking butts and taking names. I think it’d be a hit but then again Hollywood defines creativity by how depraved and traitorous a movie is because they think America is not fit for heros except fictional ones.
Unless there’s a lot of gratuitous sex in the movie, I’d say it’s DOA.
Abu Ghraib was on the front page of the Nyet Times for 30 days FRONT PAGE.
Of course it was DURING the 2004 election cycle and was the turning point in the war (the media hype). It turned Americans against the war and gave merit to the terrorist movement. Thank you traitors.
The guys were ALREADY UNDER INVESTIGATION and the leak came from the uncle of one of the men who tried to blackmail the government into giving him a lighter sentence.
FOOLS.
They’re still in the denial atage.
I spend 1 or 2 hours just about everyday searching out information about Iraq and the other theaters of the GWOT, but I sure as hell don’t go to the NYT’s or the MSM.
I can’t remember the last time I read something from the NYTs that was factual and accurate,So why would I waste my time.
Oh and Frank I spent 2 days watching the Petraeus-Crocker show (as you call it). I haven’t invested that much time watching anything in a long time, but of course you’re too stupid to understand the world doesn’t revolve around New York bathhouses.
Thank you, but I have a policy of trying to ignore anything emanating from bloated gasbags like Frank Rich. With a MoDo column we can at least look forward to photos of CZJ — I shudder to think of what will happen to FR if we were to get photos of some rival in love that Frank Rich lost out to...... UGH.
My dear G-d, they are so, so terrified of victory in Iraq. Sick.
