Losing the Information War with Amendment 56

The Democrats are angry. Despite investing enormous effort undermining the military, things are going fairly well in Iraq. General Petraeus and the surge have been a success, not that you would know that from the media coverage, which has been, to say the least, sparse. The anti-Bush themes of an "Iraqi quagmire" and "surge failure" were premature, and all the congressional show hearings, the choreographed Code Pink performance art and the MoveOn.org smears were for naught. The president and the military did it right, and the Democrats got it wrong.


Now it's time for Democrats to change the subject, to distract the public, to pretend the dire predictions and the hysterics were about something else entirely, and hope the short memory of the electorate kills the issue by November.


It's also time for a little vengeance on the Pentagon.

"It seems predictable that the Democrat controlled Congress would pass legislation to further hamstring our military while passing other legislation providing yet another layer of insulation for media who might use anonymous sources to betray our country with publication of classified material. Perhaps we should force legislation to prevent Congress from engaging in propaganda, which could be roughly defined as whatever you might hear when Nancy Pelosi opens her mouth." madmax
