I expect that not even Moveon.org will be stupid enough to run another "betray-us" ad this time around. As for Senators Clinton and Obama, unable to call Petraeus a liar again, they'll be forced to carp about unsustainable costs. Expect Senator McCain to use the word 'victory' a lot.
picked this up from The Corner: the NYT managed to squeeze three lines into its online edition about the latest Medal of Honor winner. Short as the article was, they had to go back and correct two errors:
Medal of Honor for Navy Seal in Iraq
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: April 1, 2008
Correction Appended
A member of the Navy Seals who threw himself on a grenade in Iraq to save his comrades will be posthumously awarded the nation’s highest military tribute, the Medal of Honor, the White House announced. Petty Officer Second Class Michael A. Monsoor, 25, of Garden Grove, Calif., was part of a sniper team in Ramadi in 2006 when an insurgent threw a grenade at him, the Navy said. He was the fourth person to receive the honor since the beginning of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:
Correction: April 4, 2008
A headline on a report in the World Briefing column on Tuesday about a posthumous Medal of Honor for Michael A. Monsoor, a member of the Navy Seals who threw himself on a grenade in Iraq to save his colleagues, misstated his rank. He was a petty officer second class; he was not a commissioned “Navy Officer.” Because of an editing error, the report also misstated the number of people who have received the honor since the beginning of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Petty Officer Monsoor became the fourth, not the fifth.
