Rumsfeld Challenges Progress in War on Terror

Hell hath no fury like a secretary scorned.

Wasn't Ashcroft in front of Congress about a year ago saying that anyone who said what Rumsfeld just said is giving aid and comfort to the enemy?

quote:
"It is pretty clear the coalition can win in Afghanistan and Iraq in one way or another, but it will be a long, hard slog," Rumsfeld wrote.
It's begining to look a lot like "quagmire".

quote:
The media has "dumbed down" the issues and turned politics into an "us vs. them" sport.

The new look of politics appeals to people who like to watch sports on TV. Media pundits on talk shows give their opinions just like the pre-game shows on NFL gameday. People don't care about the details or the consequences of our government policies... that's not very entertaining plus there's no WINNER if we compromise. They just pick a team (Dems or Reps) and root for that team to win. The other side then becomes a piece of garbage to be destroyed in order to win.

The world is black and white, never grey.
