#1 A very, very useful perspective on the article, GolfBravoUSMC. We join you in your pride at the progress of the Iraqi Police and security forces. They reflect the competence of their teachers and the pride of their country.

#2 Sounds like these "reporters" should [comment redacted by poster]. There is only one sure way to deal with open enemies.

#3 If you read some of the comments with the article, I think they're just pandering to their audience.

#4 After living in D.C. for eighteen plus years (1984-2000), nothing published by the Washington Post suprises me.

#5 The media's political agenda's SHOULD NOT outweigh their ethical obligation to report the news objectively and accurately.

Wow! You do not understand the media's function in this war. It is to ensure the defeat of the United States by whatever means necessary.

This is clear by the way Sadr's defeat is being turned into a victory. This is an even more egregious example than Tet. But nobody is calling them on it. Bush should hold a press conference and call the reporters "liars" and demand a front page apology to the troops in Iraq for the libel. But he won't because he doesn't understand the first thing about leadership. When McCain gets in office, he will have no excuse for avoiding a confrontation with the country's most dangerous enemy.
