Are You Ashamed of Our Troops?

one of the benefits of switching to googlemail is that i get ads with my email.

i was just served an ad asking "Are You Ashamed of Our Troops?" - with a link to www.fightmediabias.org - brought to you by brent bozell:

I’m not ashamed of our troops -- are you?

The mainstream liberal media want you to believe that U.S. troops in Iraq are guilty of widespread torture ... oppressing civilians ... murdering U.S. journalists ... opposing the war effort ...

And losing the war.

Well, after a military career that stretched from World War II through Korea, Vietnam, and the fall of the Soviet empire, I can tell you this --

Our troops in Iraq are winning the war.

And they’re upholding the highest standards of decency and civilization in their selfless mission to liberate the Iraqi people from tyranny and confront the America-hating terrorist fanatics on their own ground.

These courageous men and women need to know that somebody back home is working to restore fairness and balance to the media’s coverage of the sacrifices they’re making for us.

That’s why I want you to add your name to a special “dog tag” that I’ll send to one of our heroic soldiers on the front lines.

The dog tag bears the message, “Don’t Believe the Liberal Media -- America Supports Our Troops!” -- in your name, personally.

And it promises your prayers until that soldier comes home safe and sound.

PURE

FUCKING

COMEDY

GOLD

I'm sure that every amgrunt would love a reminder every time they look at their watch that the media thinks they have lost the war - particularly given that every account I've seen by amgrunts (excluding the ones that mention school-painting and candy-to-kids) indicates that the media is completely under-reporting the carnage.

how do you ask the last civilian to die of shame for a mistake?
