As I was driving on the freeway this afternoon ABC News came on the radio at the 1:00 PM (west coast) time. That news report carried two brief clips, one from the Iraqi V.P. declaring that Iraq would defeat the U.S. and one from Tariq Aziz declaring that Iraq would defeat the U.S. Those two reports were balanced (sarc) with a report from, get this, "an unidentifed former intelligence professional who spoke on condition of anonymity" that the plan demanded by Rumsfeld had resulted in the U.S. being "incapable of victory and certain to experience a defeat on a massive scale." That Rumsfeld and Bush were so stupid that they didn't start with forces capable of achieving victory and are now scrambling "due to unacceptable losses and resistance far too strong to overcome."
ABC News is spitting this garbage out every hour on the hour -- and this was a news feed picked up by a conservative radio station!!!
However, the good news is that as I was heading home, in this hotbed of anti-American leftism that I live in, I passed numerous demonstrations in favor of the war against Saddam and backing the troops. This is the third day in a row that the good side has been out in numbers in my town -- actually blown away the anti-war protesters, who previously owned this town without any opposition. So, if the tide is turning here it has to be turning everywhere.
Let them know you know. I'll call my local ABC station, too.
Good e-mail links to most national and international media outlets
Anyone who thinks we are wrong to be in Iraq, has not connected the DOTS from Arab countries to TERRORISM! I think it's time our troops were allowed to take off the gloves & treat them as what they are, international terrorists, not any kind of army of soldiers.
