"To me this latest warning feeds into a disturbing trend that I’ve seen in the press, at least since last Thursday or Friday. Regardless of the courage and the commitment of the American public and the American military helped along by officials who say things that are either incomplete or incorrect the media is, I’m afraid to say, losing its nerve. And that malignant insecurity is already questioning a war effort that is scarcely three-weeks old. You’ve all seen the melancholy reports over the last few days. ‘Our bombing’s not working, we’re slaughtering innocent civilians, our allies, the so-called Northern Alliance are all bluster, no belly, the Taliban’s winning, Ramadan is coming, winter is coming, woe is us!’ I think it’s time for the nay-sayers to heed the famous philosopher who said, ‘get over it!’ As Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said today, ‘This is a marathon, not a sprint.’ And the only war we’re losing so far is the battle not to lose our nerve." (Media Research Center) If even a mutt-wit like Geraldo can see the obvious, how hard are the people pushing the enemy propaganda working not to see it? Just proves the theory that some people actually have to work at being stupid. |
