The Pro-War Media's Re-Positioning Problem by Gary North

The Pro-War Media's Re-Positioning Problem by Gary North: "But for Fox News and the cheerleaders, this is a defeat. They ran up their ratings with pro-war rhetoric. Now they find that this rhetoric is about as safe as a tour bus in Baghdad.

If a Republican wins in 2008, and the pull-out begins in 2009, it will be a nightmare for the Foxes of this world. They will not be able to blame a Democrat for cutting and running. They will have to swallow the castor oil of a military pull-back. And, as it goes through their system, doing what castor oil does to the intestinal track, they will have to stand at attention in full public view as the flag goes by – away from Iraq. It will be a long parade. Think of the pain! Think of the squirming!"

And surely, gung-ho's flip-flop will not lead to the balming that is Gunga Din but only to the tragedies of the suicide bomber.
