Life imitates fiction
Cheney: "Iraq war will end before 2009"
Today's (5-31-05) CNN headline.
What kind of joke is this? The administration chooses to 1) lower the expectations 2) define the terms of the discussion 3) move the goal posts 4) act in control and reasonable in the face of chaos 5) imply that there was/is a plan 6) distract us from the mess that is? I could go on. But the main point is that CNN and, fairly, other media outlets are abetting this march towards an Orwellian environemnt by acting as submissive stenographers to this MEANINGLESS, misleading pronouncement by Cheney. To speak and act, as the administration continues to, as if there is "progress" being made (and who gets to define that) in the face of bad news that is apprehended everywhere else in the world. The emperor has no clothes - neither CNN nor the administration. Why not get ahead of the curve and begin to report the real story behind this; public opinon isn't buying this administration's tripe on the war any longer, and the administration is sending out their "heavy", Cheney, once again, to try to stem the hemorraging and pull the wool over our eyes at the same time.
