The reason the MSM did not respond as they should have on
Mogadishu was because their Messiah, Bill Clinton, was in
office. He got a pass on EVERYTHING, until at first on
Monica, and even then the MSM twisted itself into a pretzel
to finally give him a pass on that. The MSM is dedicating
itself to undermining the Bush (Republican) Administration
in every possible way it can, and if they can engineer an
impeachment of President Bush, they will, no matter what
they have to do. It will be night after night of relentless
attacks. The sad fact is that little Willie Clinton should
have gotten down and kissed Petah Jennings' feet instead
of getting testy with him for what little the MSM was
finally FORCED by the sheer weight of Clinton's depravity
to at least do lip service to making a stab at reporting the "truth". In the end, THEY,
along with the Democrats and the RINOs in the Senate saved his bacon. - He is in no
way being held accountable for leaving the military high
and dry in the '90's. Neither was Carter in the late
'70's.
I will say, though, that this armor business absolutely
must be addressed in a real tangible way. It has been
horrible press for this administration, and they had
better give it very high priority from here on out.
I agree. I think Bush inherited a horrible situation, but he is responsible for fixing it. I think their are legit criticisms for how he has addressed the problems hbe inherited. Having said that, I think the public would be served well if the Media did a comprehensive look into this problem. This was a problem long in the making, Clintoon must also take heat for it. And the Pentagon too.
The Bush administration's inability to describe the military (and the problems) they inherited (in a way that explains, but doesn't come across like whiny blame shifting) is a contuing problem.
