  1. Bloggers like you, Patterico, and others have been doing an excellent job in gathering and analyzing facts. The media would be better off giving computers and modems to Iraqis and using them as sources rather than these suspicious stringers.

  2. Here: John Roberts will explain Iraq to you.

    And as has been pointed out before, most the Iraqi’s, like most of our troops want us to go.

  3. Patterico, I’m surprised nobody has said it yet…

    VietNam: the media turned our victory in the Tet offensive into a “defeat”, so the Dems would insist we run.
    Iraq: the media is creating the “civil war” out of AQ’s last ditch spasms of violence designed to make sure the Dems make us cut and run.

    The media is trying to make history repeat itself, and the Democrats will go as far as the media will take them, having no actual moral position themselves. The Demo-media have to be stopped, and the blogosphere is the only voice that can do it.

  6. AF,

    For starters, Dafydd has already debunked your first link to the February 2006 Zogby poll.

  7. You have no patience?
    The war you defend is a disaster -an absolute failure, as is acknowledged by experts on all sides, even those who’ve tried to defend it until recently. It was a disaster built on lies and run on incompetence. But still those who say so publicly get called traitors by readers of blogs like this one.
    You have no patience? It’s decency you should be worrying about.

    But you prefer your pride.

    And DRJ. You’re joking.
