NY Sun's Nobel Nominee Gen. Patraeus shunned
I flipped over to see how Fox News was reporting on Gore and the IPCC's Nobel win-they are replaying Cavuto from last night with the news on the ticker at the bottom.

New York Sun's editor (name?) was on to announce that they nominated (which they can't do) General David Patraeus for "the G.I"

"Our GI's don't go overseas to conquer they go overseas to liberate they go overseas to uh...uh make peace uh uh"

Cavuto who in the lead cautioned viewers not to laugh at the idea of Gore winning the Peace Prize then said "You know the global view when you ask about America's role in Iraq is that he's the guy spearheading...the WAR"

NY Sun editor "I disagree with that" he then went on to say that most GIs don't look at it that way going back to Vietnam when he served when GIs were "very idealistic the whole mission was very idealistic"

1. Patraeus deserves it
as much as the Sun(and fox) deserves to be viewed as real reporting.
