#1 Talk about a "no-win" situation. Bush now stands accused of covering up reduced troop casualties in order to bolster justification for attacking Iran! Perish the thought that the Mainstream Media has been nearly mute in terms of any praise for Petraeus' incredible turn-around. Only when these traitorous bastards can finally spin this development into their own preferred narrative do they bring themselves to finally notice fewer troop fatalities. Screw them all straight to hell. Bush really has to start using his propaganda tools to better effect. Had he, the good news would already have been out and the MSM would instead look like the blatant manipulators that they are.

#2 If the Bush administration dances and sings "we're winning" Al Queda will make a point of blowing up enough people to fill the news with stories that we are losing and Bush lied.

The fact that we are winning should be told by the media themselves, but they are somewhat reluctant to do so. Even when they do they say so in a backhanded fashion like this article. The Media are slime.

#3 Multiple sources suggest that U.S. operations against Iranian influencewhich have included rounding up alleged Iranian operatives and Iranian-backed insurgentshave taken "quite a bite" out of insurgent cells and supply networks, one official says.

Maureen Dowd would be so proud. When you only quote "quite a bit" and leave the rest to the editor's discretion, you know that you are being pulled by the nose. Anonymous "multiple sources" suggesting.... LOL! All said, I'll have to give them a thumbs up if they can convince the rubes that Bush is hiding good news.

The left is collapsing and I'm enjoying it. The moderates are becoming embarrased and leaving in droves. I just hope they implode before the next election.
