Nothing on CNN or NYT websites about the withdrawal... |
|
Is NBC-MSNBC really the only media covering this?!

1. Probably because it isn't a withdrawal. |
|
That's the first thing that comes to mind.

9. You are right. I didn't intend for people to think it was bad. |
|
But I did want people to see it for what it really is.

3. They are pissed and jealous that they are not the ones who are embedded with the troops. |

They got the scoop. Rachel mentioned in her report that this was an exclusive.

7. The withdrawal is "liberal propaganda" to the Corporate media. |
|
They don't care about 4400 plus dead Americans, they care about the bottom line of profit.

11. When you leave 50k or so troops behind... |
|
...it is difficult to take calling it a "withdrawal" too terribly seriously.
It is good news, but with that many military forces remaining I just wonder how impressed people are going to be with this.

12. You'd prefer to see them stay? |
|
No, of course not. At least it is some sense of progress.
