What About 'End The War'
do they not understand? It isn't just FOX News, it's George S., Charlie Gibson, Mr. Smirky Mark Halperin (once at ABC, now at Time), and Mara Liasson (on Fox, I think I need to write to NPR and tell them to cut her loose), and wasn't that Juan Williams as well?
What this all means is that you can't believe anything they say on broadcast television, and maybe not much of NPR either.
Watch it again. Listen to what Obama says. Then listen to what the commentators say.
He says clearly what he will do. They say he's not clear, then try to conjure up some circumstance under which commanders on the ground will tell him they can't leave Iraq after all.
Notice, too, the similar phrasing of so many of them, especially the use of the term "box."
Almost as if they all had the same script. I tend to think they did, and it was in the McCain press release.
