AP: Iraq “Enjoys” Relative Stability

November 25th, 2008 at 10:28 am by Cranky

Funny that this should be acknowledged at all. I mean, how could one possibly slip a “stability” between two “grim milestones”? Funny too how something that was never acknowledged is suddenly there.

Let’s ask Jules Crittenden:

Last month, a strangely neocon AP acknowledged that the United States has an interest in a stable Iraq “which will remain a strategic and important country even after the last of the 140,000 American soldiers have gone home.”

With war coverage that has rarely been more informative or insightful than a recounting of bomb blasts and death tolls, the Associated Press has a long history of praising the resilience of terrorists in Iraq, and using every explosion as a “grim reminder” to question and disparage the security gains that U.S. military officials “maintained” and “insisted” were taking place in what was routinely refered to as an “unpopular war.” The litany of hopelessness and grudging acknowledgments of success, usually buried, were routine during a key period when Democrats were pushing Bush for withdrawal.

    The media has to do something to build a slight bridge between chaos and success, a turn miraculously acknowledged by leftist illuminati since November 4th.
