The Press of Atlantic City had an editorial that motivated me to write a response. I doubt they will print it in it entirety, so I post it here.
On Memorial Day, we honor those that have fallen in the line of duty. But the Press can’t bring itself to that without criticizing the troops’ mission. All the myopic Press can see if Vietnam. The Press says it is no disservice to question the mission because they know it IS a disservice. The troops and the mission are one. You cannot genuinely criticize one without dissing the other.Reading the Press editorial off the net, our enemies will say to themselves, “Allah be praised! We’re winning! Those American infidels are loosing their nerve. Bin Laden was right. The U.S. really is a paper tiger. They will soon quite the battlefield and Iraq will be ours.â€
The Press editorial brought aide and comfort to our enemies. There’s a word for that.
Clearly I can expect to read no good news about the war in the local paper.
If this were World War II and the Battle of the Bulge was on, they would be saying we should ask Hitler for his terms of surrender.
