I should never be surprised at how the liberal press tries to portray the news of the day but today I'm just a little incensed. What have we heard from the press ad nauseam for the last 3 years? What is Bush's definition of success in Iraq, what is his plan? Yesterday Bush made a clear and concise statement about our intentions in Iraq. He said "I've heard some ideas that would lead to defeat, and I reject those ideas - ideas such as leaving before the job is done.....We're not going to give up. The stakes are too high and the consequences too grave to turn Iraq over to the extremists". Further, he told the US troops that he has no intention of leaving Iraq until they finish the job of establishing a stable democracy. Now these are clear statements.
So if the press is so concerned about what Bush's intentions are, why on earth are statements this important to the American people buried on page A12 of the Cleveland Plain Dealer today? Why aren't these statements in the headlines in today's paper? And what does the article go on to say about Bush's statements? Following these clear statements of intent by the president, the comments say "The president's comments offered clues to his thinking as he prepares to announce a revised policy for Iraq early next month." "Clues"??? Oh come on. Even Inspector Clousseau would not consider these clear statements as mere clues. Like the family dog who has been trained not to eat the biscuit until he hears exactly the words he needs to hear, the Press sits there, eyes fixed on the biscuit called "Defeat and Retreat", and does not hear or will not hear any other words the President says until he finally says "Exit, Redeploy or Withdraw". Only then will the Press respond and gobble up the defeat and retreat biscuit. And they will savor every bite knowing that they have brought down the Hated Bush. This is their one and only goal and they won't give up until he is gone. The security of America means nothing to them. Only serving their own agenda does.
