Nadine -

Of course one of the biggest problems the Press has had in covering the situation in Iraq is that most of them have been trapped in the Green Zone, daring not to leave because the rest of Baghdad is too dangerous. They've had nothing to report that wasn't spoon-fed to them by the military.

It's fine to just make the decision that the Press all have ulterior motives, and then discount anything they report. That's exactly what you're supposed to think, according to the long-standing propaganda campaign the Right have been successfully waging.

Meanwhile, you speak of the Press not providing nuanced coverage. Well how about the briefings from the Pentagon? Any nuance there? No. There are only Insurgents and Terrorists and Good Guys.

Dumbya's toll of US soldiers in Iraq is now 52 for the month of June.

Yet, this Carroll idiot thinks that 52 is "not enough"...

How many have to be killed before you think it is enough, you Chickenhawk crap-eater?
