My bet is that someone will at the next opportunity." Maybe. But why did it take 6 years? When the right started blasting Bill over not doing anything about the Cole, why didn't anybody do the math and ask the right questions? Why hasn't the press picked up on those Congressmen who wanted us to cut and run from Somalia, yet now paint any talk about leaving Iraq under any circumstances as cutting and running? It wouldn't surprise me if those same "cut and run from Somalia" now blast Bill over the fact, that despite Bill kept the troops in Somalia longer than they had wanted, he still emboldened al Qaeda by leaving. Think of how much bolder UBL would have been if we had left on their timetable... That's the whole farce in all of this. The media has always handled anything Bush related with velvet gloves while the Rove machine, of course, has impressed upon us the belief that the media is at the beck and call of the left. That left everything confused for years. And I think the American media's lapses and lack of insightful and critical journalism when it comes to Bush has been two parts fear and one part corporate kinship with the GOP. Unfortunately for them, the Brit. media has become a player in the American news market and they have no reservations attacking Mr. Bush and calling him what he is......then there are the blogs who are not a force to ignore. The American media can no longer coast and play it safe. I believe that's why we are suddenly seeing a more proactive NY Times and a Brian Williams being more critical of Bush's policies or correspondents like Anderson Cooper being ever so slightly more obvious about their view on a story.
