This is encouraging news on war on terror.

Gee, I wonder what old Mikey'd have to say if an incumbent DEMOCRATIC president's administration had manipulated the media that way?

For that matter ... I wonder what Mikey'd have to say about the timing of the actual assult on Falujah if the president had been a Democrat?

Can you hear the screeching about not having the balls to incur casualties just before the election?

There used to be laws/regulations that prohibited "blow-back" (psy-ops reaching U.S. media). There still ought to be.

That's not to say that the U.S. shouldn't engage in ANY kind of operation to confuse or deceive the enemy - but it shouldn't reach this country. Of course, since I question the actions of the Bush Administration in this instance, stand by for a sophmoric (I'm feeling generous tonight) attack on my intelligence and my patriotism.

Not everyone is as willing to listen to the U.S. version of Baghdad Bob as you seem to be, Mikey.

Are you kidding? I would be just as excited if this was Clinton doing it. While I do not like the policies of Democrats, they are still my Countryman. Doing whatever is needed to destroy our enemies - I would be supportive of!


I was NOT happy that Bush did not finish off Fallujah the first time we were in there. There is no doubt in my mind he was playing politics with this. However, the reality is he had no other choice. Because of the media, and the anti-war liberals, Bush could not give them any ammuniton to derail his re-election.

The idea of this pisses me off, but if that is what it took for Bush to win, then I can live with short term setbacks for long term gains. Waiting to root out the bad guys in Fallujah until after election is the price we must pay for living in a free country where a small group of blame-America-first, never use military, with their supporters in the media would do ANYTHING to derail Bush's reelection.



It is kinda depressing that this country cannot be united when it comes to wars with foreign enemies - and since it is not - then Bush had to do what he had to do.

All Presidents have done it, including Clinton in the reverse.

Anytime Politics comes ahead of National Interests - it ticks me off. But I am much happier with Bush being relected - there is no doubt he will prosecute this war more agressively then Kerry would.
