The #1 bush goal is to make the world safe for oil companies. That's what the military is for. Why no outrage!
Remember these words of wisdom from our right wing media?: by Madison Capital Times
CBS reporter Joie Chen, 5-4-03 "Now that the combat phase of the war in Iraq is officially over, what begins is a debate throughout the entire U.S. government over America's unrivaled power and how best to use it."
Charles Krauthammer, "Inside Washington," 4-19-03: the only people who think this wasn't a victory are Upper West Side liberals, and a few people here in Washington."
Morton Kondracke, Fox News 4-12-03 "Well, the hot story of the week is victory. The Tommy Franks-Don Rumsfeld battle plan, war plan, worked brilliantly, a three-week war with mericifully few American deaths or Iraqi civilian deaths. There is a lot of work yet to do, but all the naysayers have been humiliated so far. The final word on this is hooray."
Fred Barnes, Fox News, 4-10-03 "The war was the hard part. The hard part was putting together a coalition, getting 300,000 troops over these and all their equipment and winning. And it gets easier. I mean, setting up a democracy is hard, but it is not as hard as winnning a war."
Bill O'Reilly, Fox News, 1-29-03 "I will bet you the best dinner in the gaslight district of San Diego that military action will not last more than a week. Are you willing to take that wager?"
David Carr, 4-16-03 "This has been a tough war for commentators on the American left...Liberal writiers for ideologically driven magazines like the Nation and for less overtly political ones like the New Yorker did not predict a defeat, but the terrible consequences many warned of have not happened. Now liberal commentators must address the victory at hand and confront an ascendant conservative juggernaut that asserts U.S. might can set the world right."
Bill O'Reilly, FOX News, 2-10-03 "There's no way. There's absolutely no way. They may bomb for a matter of weeks, try to soften them up as they did in Afghanistan. But once the U.S. and British unleash, it's maybe hours. They're going to fold like that."
Now who's squalking?
