No Doubting Thomas On This Matter

From today’s White House press briefing with Tony Show:
MR. SNOW: Helen, and then to Mark.
Q The President emphasized September and he emphasized General Petraeus’ report — all week you moved away from September. Is it a real important date for us to decide things?
MR. SNOW: I think what the President is saying is –
Q Does he know that we have civilian rule in this country?
MR. SNOW: Yes. Do you?
Q I do.
Thus putting to rest, perhaps, thoughts that the media run this country?

How many more years are we going to have to pretend she is a journalist and let her have a seat in the the press briefings?
I have a hard time believing that the WHCA would let a former reporter-turned-conservative-columnist keep their seat in the front row.

Petraeus’s letter indicates that we are going to lose this war regardless of the amount of troops or the amount of time we are there.
So, since as Petraeus’s letter indicates, defeat is certain, I am forced to say - Bring our Troops Home Now. If the government isn’t going to let them win, then keeping them out there spilling their blood is tantamount to the Bush Administration murdering them.
Please understand, I am a conservative, but after seeing all the soldiers that Bush has arrested for doing their jobs, I can’t be a Bush-bot. Fight to win or don’t fight at all. There is no other option.
For the non-Bush-Bots out there look at General Betrayus’s record. He hasn’t spent a day in battle. He is just a politician in uniform.
This has turned into another Vietnam. Yet again America loses. Not because of our brave troops on the battlefield but because of our politicians (including Generals like Betrayus who have never been in battle).
