Haven't seen anyone reporting this type of pessimism, although Novak is usually very accurate in his reporting.

Novak was okay before he went through some sort of life change.

He's a "CNN Conservative"

Greg Palkot of Fox was embedded there recently, but I don't remember any special reporting from him.

LOL! Excellent definition.

although Novak is usually very accurate in his reportingEspecially when he's bashing Republicans or outing CIA agents.
He's really old and it shows. He has been against war all along, he wants a bigger tax cut.
He is no match for Carville and Begala either.

My younger brother is a sergeant first class who has just completed his third or fourth tour. From what I gather from him, Novak is right on point. We have a mess not just in Iraq, but also in Afghanistan. The Bush Regime is more interested in doing things for political gains than for any other reason. Troops are discouraged. They can see the politics.

Old Bob's been poisoned by his long term association with CNN. He's a gadfly.

If U.S. forces were to leave, the Taliban -- or something like it -- would regain power. There's nothing we can do about that. It's inherent with islam. Islam is not a religion of peace.

"We have a mess not just in Iraq, but also in Afghanistan. The Bush Regime is more interested in doing things for political gains than for any other reason. Troops are discouraged."
Amazing. My wife and I work with the troops and their families deploying and coming back through Ft. Lewis and they don't seem to have the same opinion...they only disappointment we're heard was about the attitude of the press and the liberals in Congress.
Now isn't that strange?
To: RaginCajunTrad
That's interesting, because I'm hearing the exact opposite from the folks I know who have come back recently. Go figure. Incidently, they don't use the term "Bush Regime" either.

First of all I am not going to let you get away calling this administration a regime. Now tell me, what unit is your brother in and where was his tours of duty?

They call President Karzai the Mayor of Kabul. Warlords control the rest of the land. If fighting is still going on, you can't call it a victory yet or are we dealing with nuage newspeak?
To: Rokke
To: RaginCajunTrad
Exactly what has the administration been doing in Iraq and Afghanistan for political gain? Show me the "gains" they have attained politically speaking?
Novak has to ingatiate himself to his liberal employers at CNN. He sold his soul long ago.
