ARI FLEISCHER REMINDS US HOW DEFEATIST THE LEFT-WING DOMINATED MSM IS: CALLED THE AFGHAN WAR A QUAGMIRE LIKE VIETNAM

Fifty days after the 2001 attacks, three weeks into the war in Afghanistan, the New York Times ran a front-page story headlined "A Military Quagmire Remembered: Afghanistan as Vietnam."

...
In the lead-up to the war in Iraq, no matter what position the president took, the press took the opposite. Bush supported a so-called "tough resolution," sponsored by Sens. John Warner and Joe Lieberman, authorizing the use of force. Reporters practically came out of their chairs demanding to know why he failed to support an authorization sponsored by Sens. Joe Biden and Richard Lugar.

One reporter quoted foreign leaders as saying that Bush would "destroy the war on terrorism" if he went to war and of course almost all the press said Bush's actions were unilateral -- despite support from Britain, Italy, Spain, Denmark and practically every nation in Eastern Europe.

RTWT.
  • THEY WERE WRONG THEN.
  • THEY ARE WRONG NOW.
  • ABOUT IRAQ, THE ECONOMY, AGW, THE SO-CALLED HEALTHCARE INSURANCE CRISIS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
