When John Murtha blathered (re: Haditha), "Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood." and the MSM picked it up as the truth about our war against the savages, a new low for Congress was reached. I realize that confidence in Congress has fallen since then, but it was noteworthy for me because of the fact that such a horrible, defeating statement was not only uttered by a member of Congress but also excitedly printed and recounted by the press as the Truth.
And now charges have been dropped against yet another Marine (the 7th).
But I haven't seen any apologies (to the troops or the American public) by the MSM. What a joke they are.
America is probably winning the war on the battlefield but over here they are losing it; in the courts and with the public, as exuberantly reported by the MSM. The insane popularity of a very inexperienced Congressman who has no notable legislative achievements or policy pronouncements and who is more liberal than anyone we have taken seriously before, certainly for President, is good reason to worry.
The usual approach for an election year would be to try and convince another person that the reason(s) supporting their position is(are) not defensible. But that won't work now; it is a waste of time to try to reason with a liberal. It won't work because they don't come to a decison by reason or analysis; they exclusively use an emotional yardstick (which conservatives are told they don't have [which we know is bull, we just consider it with other factors that are given more weight, especially in a time of war]). I heard one voter exclaim, when asked why he likes Obama, "he's just so COOL!"
When someone believes their position is best because of how they "feel"; give it up - you've lost.
Peace in the MidEast!
