Completely agree with you. The media has been obsessed with the horse-race component of the story, without anything approaching perspective.
For instance, while we mourn the death of our soldiers, honor their sacrifice, and pray for comfort for the families, consider their following: Great White's pyrotechnician killed 4 times as many young Americans in two minutes than the entire Iraqi military has in 8 days of combat.

For perspective, I was curious how many people have died on the highways in the US in the last week. Anyone have a guess?

Great Observation!
It bears repeating: "Great White's pyrotechnician killed 4 times as many young Americans in two minutes than the entire Iraqi military has in 8 days of combat."
The Media are a bunch of Nattering Nabobs of Negativism, and they hate our Commander in Chief.

Wow. Now that's what I would call putting this thing in its proper perspective. :)
