Immediately following President Obama's declaration that the U.S. combat mission in Iraq has "ended," the Associated Press circulated an internal memo stating, "Combat in Iraq is not over."
"To begin with, combat in Iraq is not over," writes AP standards editor Tom Kent in an internal memo obtained by the George Soros-funded Media Matters, "and we should not uncritically repeat suggestions that it is, even if they come from senior officials."
Continued Kent: "The situation on the ground in Iraq is no different today than it has been for some months. Iraqi security forces are still fighting Sunni and al-Qaida insurgents. Many Iraqis remain very concerned for their country's future despite a dramatic improvement in security, the economy and living conditions in many areas."
The memo notes Obama's national address last week in which the president stated, "The American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country."

I guess they did.
Soros is saying this about the MAgic NEgro??
Dang.
the president stated, “The American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over,...”
Yep it’s Operation Twist in the Wind, now.
It’s Obama’s own from now on.
yuppers and I am going to call him one also
Soros got the AP memo. Now his attack dogs at Media Matter will launch jihad on the A.P. for their reporting. It’s popcorn time.

Has anyone ventured to mediamatters.com to see if they are having fits? Sometimes I just don’t believe all that WND writes.
Well, I don’t believe ANYTHING mediamatters.com says...
This seems to be the new trend. The WH says one thing so unbelievable the no one believes it. From the economy to the state of the Dim party, it forces everyone to scratch there head. Even if they are sycophantic dopes.
Looks like the entire msm is sick and tired of this mongrel.
so much for "freedom of the press".....
"It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion."
"Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play."
Joseph Goebbels
that guy scares me.
Oh yeah? Tell that to my son who is a combat medic in Iraq. The first day after the Obama pull out, was under attack. 14 RPGs launched into Camp Adder. One of which hit his tent (with him outside manning the perimeter). All his possessions, both military and personal, destroyed (except for the AP-4 he was carrying).
OMG!! God Bless Him!!
I despise Obama, but he did not say "Combat has ended."
Let's not fall prey to atrocious media reporting.
That's for Democrats.
Thank him for his service, and I'm sure he's just happy to be alive. Somebody needs to send Obama a memo, "Mission not accomplished."
No. Let's not be fair. That was the last election cycle. LOL!
For the wacko pacifist moonbats, a soldier arguing with a street vendor is a combat operation in progress.
Don’t forget..... The AP is an American enemy worse by far than Al Queda
