What do you say to some shit like this?????? :puke: Dear FRONTLINE,
Yes, the lesson to be learned is that the media and Democratic leadership will continue to sell America down the river given any opportunity. The media is our worst enemy at war or at peace.
It remains unbelievable to me that the Democratic leadership and the media continue undercutting the American war effort. "Bush's War" retrospective(?) is treasonous by timing alone. We remain with soldiers in the field of war. This piece serves only one 'useful' purpose and that is to give encouragement and energy to America's opposition. You have justified and re-enforced the oppositions desire for killing rather than cooperating with coalition soldiers in the field.
Had the 2nd Iraq war ended with the first bombs striking Saddam and sons in the first bunker and Iraq had became a peaceful democracy full of wine and roses overnight this 'retrospective' would still contain the same 'venom' but hold on a minute all of the turncoats trying to salvage their own reality thru commentary for "Bush's War" wouldn't have had to turn coat would they? And I doubt that they would have turncoat under better circunstances either.
Should such a 'retrospective' be made? YES. Should it be released before our men and women leave the front -ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Finally, no matter how self-righteous the producers of "Bush's War" wish to view themselves-no one has the power to assess the world today if Saddam maintained his $25,000, or increased, bounty for families of suicide bombers of Jews and Americans, Manila had not finally began rounding Al-Qaeda militants kidnapping Americans and European tourist for bounty to release but murdered instead, Libya had not relinguished its nuclear program, neighbors of Formosa Straits had not began rounding up the pirates, had Singapor, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia all not gotten serious about rounding up terrorists after the coalition invaded Iraq.
Get off of America's back, NOW. President Bush is America's backbone and I am greatful that he is a strong person because the Democratic and Republican leadership and the media are snivelling mush boned step-children to America's hope in the world.
I have not seen one piece in the media that tries to assess the global picture. Every piece has no credibility because it has the "we are trashing Bush" stamped on the cover. If there is no one left to convince then why was this piece produced. If there are holdouts that the media is still trying to convince, but not yet, to be anti-Bush maybe an open media mind to their view of the world may have been a better 'retrospective'.

I really, really believe that these people have mental problems.Dear FRONTLINE,
The title alone should tell everyone what type of program this was. It was blatant anti-Bush, anti-America, reporting. Many of the people interviewed were from the news media and many of the military and civilians interviewed were full of "I believe what he meant" or "I believe what was said was".
Your so-called facts are totally wrong. You talk of the al Qaeda captured as some poor political prisoners who were mistreated instead of an ememy that we successfully deemed intelligence from that nabbed other terrorists or saved lives. You missed the fact that the "16 words" of President Bush's speech did not come from the CIA yellow cake intelligence but was from the British and European intelligence that has been proven to be true. I will be interested to see if in part 2 you mention that the WMD was found by our troops in Iraq and parts were shipped by convoy to Syria. But I'm sure you will say the same old tripe coming from the left.
This could easily be mistaken for a Michael Moore movie.

These people make me ashamed to be an American. I'm even more embarrassed that he's a carbon-based life form. Dear FRONTLINE,
Sadly, nothing ever changes when you are dealing with the media. PBS continues to allow arrogant, ignorant, and biased newspeople to politicize and second guess the actions of well meaning professionals. War is hell, period. No one wants war, but murderous tyrants do NOT play by any accepted rules and only respond to force. WWII is a perfect example.
The news media helped to keep us out if WWII until Hitler was so powerful that most of the world was engulfed in war! Tens of millions of people needlessly died as a direct result! Just because WMD's were not found AFTER Clinton gave them 8 years to hide them doesn't mean they don't exist! The Iraq's have used WMD's many times and simply hid them.
Everyone makes mistakes, both Democrat or Republican. 9/11 was possible because of Clinton's failure to deal with terrorism in general and, specifically, Iraq! (I worked in the field and know the truth!) Frontline is just a bunch of biased wimps that have NO honor or professionalism and will stop at nothing to distort the truth to their own verson of reality. This Includes the use of totally biased and unqualified "experts" (Often administrators)and disenfranchised, biased government employees in their news reports. Why did they NOT use the actual weapons inspectors, who SAW the WMD's, in their reports?
There has never been a statue erected to a critic, much less disingenuous critics! Frontline is nothing but unprofessional, biased critics.
