#1 In November 2008 it is likely to be clear that if the US had followed the Democrats' advice the US would have suffered an unnecessary defeat.

Nope. Coginitive Dissonance will take care of that troubling thought.

#2 By 2008, the MSM will have either induced a substantial portion of the elctorate to "move on" (ie forget everything the Democrats said) or they'll have figured out a way to give the Dems all the credit for the victory.

#3 Yes, but the mainstream media continue steadily losing customers, ie people who believe their memes.

#4 LINCOLN [paraph] > "When will our Generals learn that the entire country is our soil". IMO, like many other Union Generals early in the Civil War, despite his loyalty to the North "Mac" was NOT anti-Secessionist as per the wording of the US Constitution. Prior to the advent of Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan [North's later Triumvirate/"Destroyer Generals"] Mac was the only top Union Cdr to defeat or stop Confederate forces in battle, including Robert E. Lee. IMO, Mac's prob was NOT personal or professional incompetence, as many in the Army of the Potomac + South feared or respected his abilities, but a personal, totalitarian unwillingness to fight other Amers = Confederates despite his own belief in Union + Lincoln's/Political Washington's formal policies in favor of war + restoring the Union, + despite two de facto Southern invasions of the North. However naive or discretionary Mac was, I believe Mac should be respected by Amers for his deep personal unwillingness to fight = kill his own people.
DOUGLAS MACARTHUR > NO ONE HATES WAR MORE THAN THE SOLDIER.

I am confident that the trunk nominee will be pounding this point home brutally.
