Stupid is as stupid does

I can't believe how ignorant....I take that back. I can't believe the untruthes that will be reported. On the other hand, thats typical coming from Bush haters.

Reality, not spin, on Iraq

President Bush and his supporters say that the surge of U.S. troops into the quagmire that is Iraq has worked -- that the country is being stabilized and that the occupation has turned some sort of corner.

But a new Pew Research Center survey of U.S. journalists covering the war reveals that almost 90 percent of them say that Baghdad is still too dangerous to visit.

That is the reality on the ground. And it is the reality against which policymakers in the U.S. should weigh their decisions about the continued U.S. occupation of that distant land. To simply listen to the Bush administration's spin now would be as foolish as it was to take seriously that "Mission Accomplished" banner in front of which George Bush posed in flight suit drag four long years ago.

Have they not heard? Its ashame they'll go to any length to avoid the truth thats being reported by most. Makes them look quite moronic actually.

maybe journalists are just weenies.

After all, politicians and civilians, and (gasp!) soldiers are walking around there.
