"Add it to the growing list of "corrections" and apologies owed our military, the Bush Admin., the free world, the Iraqi people, professional journalists (and journalism students) by a mainstream newsmedia still working to undermine our efforts and our victory in Iraq. "

I don't understand how reporting the fact that we have not found WMD yet is some subversive activity that if reported means one owes an apology to the military. Who is saying anything bad about the military? Right now it appears to be a massive screw up at the CIA and other intelligence agencies.

This is no honest article about the search for WMDs. We are deliberately, carefully and professionally going about the complex work...having secured Iraq in less than 2 months. We've already done more in 2 months than the UN and all the accusers did in 12 years. No, it's a daily exercise in dishonesty from a press engaged in rewriting history, undermining our victory and efforts in Iraq. Their deceit is verifiable and ongoing - and destructive.

Our combat ops ended less than a month ago in a nation oppressed for 24 years. It is day 53 of Operation Iraqi Freedom. CENTCOM and the Pentagon must be holding briefings for blind and deaf reporters, because the reporters aren't listening to the experts. Most of their accusations are groundless. This press doesn't seem to know that "we the people" have access to the briefings and transcripts.

Our troops have performed near-miracles in Iraq and it isn't enough for the bitter (VLWC) partisan press. It will never be enough. Let 'em accuse - away from those who are actually doing the hard work, out of OUR earshot - send them to Elba, or something. We the people, people with common sense are not yelling "are we there, yet?!" at our men and women doing this hard work in Iraq, risking their own lives to clean up after Kofi and co. We are not demanding instant gratification from our professional and honorable military. I have as much sympathy for this group of daily accusers as I do for Goebbels, Scott Ritter and Tariq Aziz. Who elected them to speak for the free world? Who holds them accountable for their lies?
