The Washington Post has the breaking news that one month ago Secretary of State Colin Powell announced there weren’t enough troops in Iraq.
Meanwhile, in Iraq Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld took on the “naysayers and the doubters” who have questioned the administration’s claims that U.S. troops will be welcomed as liberators Iraq oil will pay for the war Iraq will become “free.” Why all the doom and gloom concerning Iraq? Why it’s the media’s fault, of course:
“I guess what’s news has to be bad news to get on the press.”
Yeah, that crazy news media! What are they thinking reporting stories of people getting executed in broad daylight or suicide bombers killing dozens of people? Why do they hate the spread of freedom?
