<<I really find it disingenuous that the Administration is being blamed for: 1. Not spending enough money and not contributing enough troops in Iraq 2. Spending too much money and putting too many troops in harms way >>> This is not war coverage any more, its an attempt to "get something" on the present Administration and create a political advantage If we are at war, then some of the Press reports can be considered treasonous acts We are at war with terrorists, but not with Iraq, so its a bit confusing as to what can or should be said by the Press Troops in harms way? What purpose does the Military serve other than to stand between the citizenry and the enemy defined by the Administration or Congress? They are good in parades, but its hard to get ten Aircraft Carriers moving down Main street in unison. They provide certain sense of security even if unseen. . Sig . .
