More thoughts on Newsweek
05.16.05 (6:40 am)   [edit]

The Newsweek Koran debacle is starting to take off in the blogashere and while I agree completely with most postings I’ve seen I would remind everyone it’s not Newsweek’s biased report that caused people to kill.  Something is wrong in these societies that look for any reason to kill their neighbors.  This is a power struggle in a backwards part of the world between old school warlords.  The West has trouble understanding these people.  All the “enlightenment” has left the modern leaders unable to grasp the level of ruthlessness the third world can deliver and until we do understand and respond appropriately we will be at a disadvantage.


 

Yes Newsweek and Michael Isikoff were irresponsible.  But, folks this isn’t new in the media.  They as a whole have been against this administration and the War from the beginning.  The Media has been a bastion for the left and has gone from biased reporting to outright treason.  But there is hope.  It’s not being ignored anymore.  I can’t prove it but I believe there is a new wave of reporters and editors waiting in the wings that will not be so easy on the left. Perhaps some of the many fine Milbloggers will take this on as a second career.

Yep, once again the media goes for the big story against the US Military even if they have to make it up.

"All the “enlightenment” has left the modern leaders unable to grasp the level of ruthlessness the third world can deliver"

All one has to do is reflect on what the beasts did to MSG Gary Gordon and SFC Randy Shughart. Can we say dismember? Yes I know that part wasn't on CNN's famous video tape that aired all over the world, but then just remember them partying while dragging the bodies of our men behind them... if one saw it, one would certainly never forget that image.. burned into the brain forever..

My feeling is until a large number of these people are taken out at once, this will never end. The only thing that puts fear in there dumd asses is power. Why they let these so called leaders hide in holes and squeak out orders is beyond me. We can do it the way we are going but it will take a lot longer.

Zell Miller seems to agree w/ your first paragraph. Paraphrasing, he said "Of course that area is full of red hot coals. What Newsweek did was throw gasoline on them."

I've still got his convention speech on my tivo. It was that good.
