WINNING? IT CAN'T BE. CAN IT?

Note: this was posted twelve hours before the WSJ editorial by Norman Podhoretz which is HERE. He also reprints ALL of Chrenkoff's data.

Looking at torture.....no, that's wrong. Looking at the accusations of torture, which contain within them the demand from our Left that all torture cease at once. Why the concern from the Left? The poor babies say they are concerned about our image in the world. In fact they write and talk about torture because we are in danger of winning in Iraq and the main obstacle to the victory is getting sufficient information from captured terrorists so we can pre-empt their assaults; for every pre-emption completed we are anther step toward victory.

Victory in Iraq is a disaster for the Left.

America is Evil

My premise presumes that the Left is continually attempting to weaken America from both within and without The articulated attitudes of the Left is that America is evil and must be stopped at all costs. This is to be done by weakening America both from within our borders and from outside. Their tactics include a focus on everything bad, to construct everything positive as actually bad, and use all media; Hollywood, Press, and TV. They control that media and so all media attack our country. Their attacks are very good because the professional journalist class is in charge. We are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of bad news every day. Many of us believe we are losing.

Blogger, Arthur Chrenkoff (no longer blogging), posting back in January listed the number of good reports on Iraq vs the negative ones. You can go to his site and count, but the negatives are 5,000 plus stories and the positive news comprises barely 400. That's more than 10 to 1. Day after day, week after week, month after month, all we hear is the negative.

Iraq is about to have an election which will result in a brand new Democratic country being born in the middle of dictatorships, asset sucking monarchies, and oligarchies that limit opportunity and suck countries dry. The Left will do all it can to bury this huge story on page 16; make sure that success is reduced to little blurbs at the end of the 6 o'clock news; and they will easily keep Hollywood from saying anything positive about creating the first Arab democracy in history.

That's the first democratic Arab country in history. That should be pretty important. But if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it and tell everyone about it, did it really fall?

My sense of all this is that the media Left is beginning to suspect that the bad ol' USA is about to pull off a huge success. They will do all they can to minimize it by burying it under a pile of bad news, shed crocodile tears, and pretend to look sad every time one of our soldiers is killed. Inside they will be glad of each and every death because it is one more negative to put on the front page.

The really crazy news about all this? They think defeat will win an election. They think that their phony tears and bogus sad demeanors will fool the rest of us and we will put them in power.

So let's see.

Very Late PM add: while the voting has started in Iraq the MSM is ignoring it. Featured stories include the rioting in Aussieville, the plight of the x-crip murderer, Iraq "militants" decry change.....
