| Media Wish for Destruction in Afghanistan Exposed - Again |

| Severely EFL. Hat tip: Instapundit It was a regrettably typical comment from an American reporter in this part of the world. "At least it's news," he said of the Afghan election scuffle over the weekend. "Otherwise, this is just a success story." [Emphasis added.] God forbid it be a success story. Yeah, the leftist media hate that. Unless it's the "success" of fascists and communists destroying lives. But that's what it was here, no matter how hard the international media tried to spin it. And brother, did they try. If we could hook a dynamo to the worldwide media's spin, we could get rid of oil. There were no car bombs raining body parts all over the polling stations. There were no last-minute assassinations. There were no drive-by shootings. And the media and the Left (but I repeat myself) HATED that. The best they could come up with for "news" was grumbling from hopelessly trailing opposition candidates about washable ink and threats of a boycott. The media's disappointment was palpable. To their eternal shame. If they had any. Much more at the link; the author lived in Afghanistan in the early 1970's, before the Soviets destroyed it. We've given Afghans the opportunity to make their country bloom again. No thanks to the "I want you to have pain so I can feel it" LEFT. |
