#1 Did he forget the Crusades? And the "plastic" turkey? I find this stuff too tiring to scan (excepting the high-lite colour commentary).

#2 Gosh, guess we better just quit and give up. Didn't realize that this would be hard, thought they'd just lie down and die if we yelled "Trick or Treat" at em.

#3 These guys always do the same thing. As soon as we say it's better, they do something to show it's not. And despite the fact that on average, it's less, the MSM uses this to prove it's still just as bad.
For these men and women in uniform , to put up with this backstabbing, and keep doing thier jobs, is amazing to me.

Too bad the Germans didn't take over reporting for the AP. The war might have gone better for them.

#6 Plainslow,
He's not stabbing anyone in the back - he's on the other side. Why the AP is hiring operatives for AQI as their only reporters in Iraq is beyond me.

Getting the enemy's perspective from time to time might be interesting, but the AP and other MSM may as well be working for Al Qaeda. Which is shy I only read the sports section of my newspaper.

#7 Glad this guy didn't report WWII, we might have just given up rather than win. Jeez what is wrong with the current crop of reporters (this includes Viet era writers and news types)? Why don't they just skip the pretense and go to work for Al Jazeera?
