Military papers report about the debate about permanent bases in Iraq
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 11:49 AM by Mass
Where is the MSM?

Yesterday, rawstory reported about a letter sent by Senator Kerry to General Pace about the importance of stating definitively that there will be no permanent basis in Iraq. This is not the first time that him and others have stated the same thing, but the MSM insists in ignoring this aspect (as many others).

Today, it seems, however, that the military papers do care enough to report about it. Once again, the MSM will be late.

4. Can you repost the letter, too. It may help inform those who didn't see it
This is EXACTLY how the GOP media machine makes certain that important miltary matters are covered up when they are the focus of a DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKER.
