This is so typical of reporters today - notice the word premature. It was a thank you speech from a grateful Commander in Chief of a 1st stage job well done - making it very clear there would be much more hard work to come before a victory could be claimed.
We need letters from those who are still on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan to act as our eyes and ears for the success stories the press seems to feel are not important. We need these hard working military folks to act as our embedded reporters. So please, post letters telling of the steady success as well as the news of terrorists within Iraq.
The liberal driven press is truly doing enormous harm to our men and women in an effort to unseat President Bush.
Ted Kennedy, Dick Gephardt, Nancy Peolsi etc. have become every bit as distasteful in their remarks and accusations about Iraq and the President as the enemy who would destroy America and that is just what those lame brains are doing.
Our wonderful military deserve far better than those just mentioned; their success and selflessness need to be told each and every day.
And this Congressman is absolutely right. All the negative reporting is dropping the support for the war here at home. It made me sick to read about soldiers, during the major military operation, who were concerned about what the people thought back at home. The soldiers are scared of a Vietnam syndrome wherein they are not respected and the nation is not grateful for their service. The press is aiding and abetting that sentiment. It's disgusting.
I HATE THE PRESS!
