I found it interesting how much the media is involved in saying how we are failing in Iraq and that things are falling apart. It is similar to the TET offensive in the veitnam war it was a stragic victory for the communist because the american media portrayed it as a big defeat for South Vietnam. Yet in reality it was a descisive victory on the ground. Last night I watch an HBO movie about Pancho Via. I was shaking my head over the way the media used and abused the truth for their own ends. And it is still going on today. I for one do not trust the media even when I agree with them. I don't think we are winning in Iraq neither do I think we are losing. I don't think George Bush did the wrong thing but I know that all orginazations make decisions based on incomplete information. I am afraid that's just the way it is. The best we can do is hope for the best and plan for the worst.
