Would you expect anything less from a culture that has a short attention span and is accustomed to instantaneous gratification?

If Clinton were President instead of Bush and everything else was the same, the press would say the war is going marvelously.

With Bush in office, the press will say whatever he does is wrong or ineffective. A fast pace would be criticized as too brutal. A slow pace is criticized as too boring. No matter what the pace is, it is wrong if Bush is in office. No matter what the pace is, if Clinton were in office, it would be hailed as correct.

Journalism is being negative and superficial.
Journalism is always negative and superficial.

This is a "dog bites man" story.

Why Broadcast Journalism is Unnecessary and Illegitimate.

This war has a benefit: Showing Americans the big gap between themselves and the intellectual/media elite.

They always have underestimated "W" - it's no wonder they are under-estimating him still.

"American reporters worry that if they call the war a failure, they'll look unpatriotic. "

Unpatriotic? To whom? Are they Taliban?
No they are Marxists who cant stand to see their ridiculous Ideals melt away.
The popularity of a Republican president along with a up-surging of patriotism
and Love of country is killing their plans to undermine the Republic with dissent and
hatred of who we are and what we represent.

In short the current events are not only killing Taliban but their hopes of overthrowing
our current system into a socialist system run by the imbecile elite, Them.

The Soviet Union is dead, yet they still peruse a failed system.
Cuban people live in abject poverty yet they still worship Castro.
China is becoming a capitalist country more and more each day yet they still call out for
Chairman Mao and his little red book.

".The story is that we're falling short of "expectations"

Whose expectations? Did not President Bush say "This is going to take a while"?
More PROPRAGANDA designed to create dissent and ruin morale.

"Self-importance."

Ah ha ...

Maybe they will become chief party members in their planned world dictatorship.
Think I am crazy? Then why do they worship Castro?
Sometimes the truth is crazier than a lie. We are not Dealing with rational people here.
Why else would someone worship a communist dictator whom thrust his fellow countrymen
into abject poverty with such a ridiculous political system?

In a few words;
COMMUNISISM IS A FAILED, DEAD SOCIAL SYSTEM .
Too bad you wasted all this time on such a scam, Mr Marxist Intellectual nincompoop.
But all is not lost.
Maybe the devil will give the power you desire when you get to purgatory, Mr. Marxist.
Back To work....
