NYT idiots. Not Guerilla but rather terrorist tactics. One would think the NYT was smart enough to figure out the difference between the two.

They know the difference and would have called them terrorists if Clintoon were still in office.

Your assumption is that the NYT wants to report objectively. It would appear that they do not wish to be objective, but rather have a political ideology to promote.

Whatever label you stick on it, the New York Times got this much right:

"potentially disturbing turn of events"

The NYT thinks George Bush is the terrorist.

We should stop being indignant (as the British were during our revolutionary war towards our guerillas) and realize the enemy for what he is.

Sorry, but it's not a terrorist attack to go after an kill invading troops, regardless of how you feel about the integrity of our cause.

We obviously have a very determined and strong willed enemy who's playing for keeps, and should be treated as such. Indignation accomplishes nothing except inspiring anger. Angry people make mistakes.

I was listening to Michael Savage yesterday and I am becoming very dissapointed in our military strategy just as Michael is. That is the strategy to do everything possible to avoid causing the poor little Iraqi's from maybe stubbing their toe or somthing. All at the cost of the lives of our young men! Bullshit! Let the carpet bombing begin!

The above is another great 2 Cents from our own John Huang.

Here are a few paragraphs from John's great article. It is apparent that the left wing media and those on the far right and left hate GW so much. They would love to see our troops slaughtered and run with these BS articles like this NY Slimes thread here.

The Media would hate for the good guys to win this war


Facing stronger-than-expected resistance from media quarters, a U.S. General said Iraqi paramilitaries groups like the Fedayeen Saddam aren't your classic guerrilla force, given their lack of popular support from ordinary Iraqis.

The press, frustrated by polls showing growing support for the war to topple Saddam Hussein, is whipping up a sandstorm, portraying the allied advance, now poised at the gates of the capital mere days into the operation, as a quagmire -- bogged down, behind schedule, buffeted by huge setbacks, including colossal allied losses which, while widely reported, keep failing to materialize, adding to media frustration.

Operation Iraqi Freedom faces stiff media pockets of resistance, waged primarily from newsrooms at the New York Times, the Washington Post, Reuters and the Associated Press, home to Fedayeen Saddmites dressed in "journalistic" clothes. They've been known to use Iraqi propaganda of "civilian casualties" from claimed 'errant' bombing as a form of "human shield" to hamper the war effort.

Taking questions from reporters at Central Command headquarters in Qatar, Brigadier General Vincent Brooks said on Friday that "When you are talking about classic guerrilla warfare, it generally implies a force that is accepted among its population, and we're not seeing that here."

"We're seeing a force that we're encountering on the battlefield that is brutal to the population that it is amongst," he added.

What the scumbags in the NY Slimes would like to print is what their left wing anti American butt buddy professor at Columbia said:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/879189/posts

The president of Columbia University said yesterday that he was horrified by the remarks of an anthropology professor who said at a campus antiwar teach-in Wednesday night that he hoped to see "a million Mogadishus" — referring to the city in Somalia where American soldiers were ambushed in a lethal firefight in 1993.

The NYT makes this distinction because to do otherwise would be to admit that the Palestinians, who use the same tactic, are terrorists.  The policy of the NYT is that Israel should surrender herself up to Arafat and commit national suicide.  Ergo, Palis are victims, not terrorists.
