And did you see what General Odom said: "I said that the U.S. invasion of Iraq is not in our interest, it is in the interest of al-Qaeda and the interest of Iran.". Our continued presence there is hurting our country more than t is helping.
Hey Jamo,
I must have missed the part where Iraq attacked us. I must have been on the can.
Getting back to the original point about MSM: War and controversy sells. Five years ago the majority of people wanted war with Iraq. The MSM (with a lot of help from the administration) demonised Iraq. People wanted to hear how good we were and how bad Iraq was. Now that things are going badly in Iraq people want to hear how badly our leaders did that job. People are looking for somewhere to place blame that does not involve them.
Ten years ago the MSM was all over Clinton for his indiscretions. It was controversial, and it sold. MSM is a business, and they sell what people want to buy.

Carry on, Steve - I'm thinking that it's better to have you posting here than out on the streets scaring people.

On the other hand, I ran across this story the other day:

"A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo, and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole is maintained by the regular culling of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can operate only as fast as the slowest brain cells through which the electrical signals pass."

To me, you are the slowest buffalo. Good luck with just sitting around waiting to get your head handed to you. We will be out there taking over countries, I'm thinking next should be Mexico with practically all the citizens already here.

BTW - when you do get your head handed to you, please have someone send it to me for my rock garden - sounds like a perfect addition.
