The bottom line is this: The press is anguished over the smashing success of this war thus far. They yearn for failure. Their predictions of another Vietnam-style fiasco or debacle have been thoroughly discredited. They crave for something -- anything -- by which to declare this mission a flop. This is why they fantasize Osama Bin Laden skipping into Pakistan.
Memo to Media: Just keep on dreaming.
Great writing and the conclusion above is so much on target!
