Nadine -

No, you're right. That does present a more nuanced picture of the situation.

It's similar, in its refusal to be simplistic, to the kind of reporting I see all the time on PBS.

Bush may be trying to steal Murtha-Kerry's plans, but until he announces that he's partly withdrawing (probably right before the election with ticker tape parades welcoming troops home) he's going to have his people smear Murtha-Kerry as "cowards, cut and runners, wanting to surrender", etc, which is of course all total BS.

After all, it's Bush-Cheney who drove our military into that quicksand. Only a fool would let our troops stay in that morass for much longer. It's self-defeating as hell and weakens us greatly. It's also very-very expensive and it's all deficit spending.

This smacks of what the rightwing did during Vietnam. They were the ones who insisted we stay in that quagmire, but it wasn't their fault it was the press and the anti-war movement's fault. Blame the peace-makers.
