| Chicken Little on location in Iraq |
| 2003-07-02 |
| A Marine general in Iraq ripped front-line journalists for "Chicken Little" coverage of the March invasion, and advised military leaders to "never forget how quickly the press jumped on the bandwagon of doom and gloom," a critical internal study of the war reveals. "Visions of Vietnam danced in reporters' heads" during halts in the march to Baghdad, griped the commanding general of the 1st Marine Division in a 67-page draft report obtained by WorldNetDaily. Read it yourself as they say...I just loved the Chicken Little image and wanted to share. Press corps have taken it to such an extreme that is becoming comical. Note Drudge this morning ... typical sky falling Reuters.

"There was a disturbing attitude from the Pentagon toward unilaterals," said Campagna, Well....if not your own risk, whose risk? The troops? No doubt he thinks so. |
