Birdman almost comes out and says what we are all thinking by his referring to “aid and comfort.”

So let’s say what we all think. The American so-called “mainstream media” is actively committing TREASON. Yep. They are working FOR the enemy and attempting to sabotage the war.

Why?

Because they are leftists? Because they hate Bush? Because they hate America and America only does bad things? Because they want to see the Democrats take over?

Whatever. Who really knows or cares.

Sometime after the fall of Baghdad, the media decided to undermine the war. Whether they did it by explicit conspiracy, or it was simply a “meeting of like minds,” they began a nearly 3 year long plan to undercut popular support of the war, through the use of deliberately biased news, through the use of US KIA, without combat context or without reporting enemy casualties, and now through outright fabrication.

Those “roll of honor” bits that the PBS News Hour does was deliberately designed to create an atmosphere of belief among the American people that the enemy is “picking us off one by one and we’re helpless to stop it.”

By demoralizing the public, the “mainstream media” is attempting to move the public into a “cut and run” mood. And they are succeeding.

Ernie Pyle, America’s best-known WWII correspondent, said “Every reporter is a citizen of somewhere and a believer in something.” Even though the reporters and news readers are American citizens, it is clear that these media people *believe* that America must lose this war.

And so, by both common and contemporary as well as in the Constitutional meaning, the media is committing treason.

There it is, I’ve said it!

Even with the 1st Amendment, the Constitution is NOT a suicide pact. In WWII, FDR recognized how a hostile media could sabotage the war effort, so the government instituted strict and harsh censorship, to buffer the images of wounded, and dying men from the public.

It is no accident that the media downplayed the USMC casualties at Iwo Jima in WWII — 1/3 of the force that landed there, over 25,000 (nearly 6000 KIA and MIA). It was censorhip that kept this news silent until long after the fact. Had there not been war-time censorship, and had these numbers been made known as they were happening, there would have been a demand to “cut and run” and not seek victory over Japan.

So let’s call what the “mainstream media” is doing what it is — treason.

Then,let’s develop a strategy for defeating the media’s lies and distortions.

And the next time America goes to war, we must insist that war-time censorship be established to make sure the “5th Column Media” does not have the opportunity to sabotage the next war, as they did with this one.

My 2 cents….

It’s easy to support the troops when they’re ‘flying high’. Real support, like true friendship, happens when they are ‘down’.

Daniel Henninger at Opinion Journal writes:The greatest danger at this moment is that the American public will decide it wants to pull back because it has concluded that when the U.S. goes in, it always gets hung out to dry….

As I begin looking forward to my weekend, I realize blogging has been pretty light lately. I’m three weeks away from packing up out here in California and heading back home for a little while before I start Officer Training…

Have you noticed the steady drumbeat from the media and the hardcore anti-war left with regards to the allegations of what happened at Haditha? There are harsh condemnations before the final reports have even been released, and there’s a distin…

Oh, and I thought it was MUSLIMS who did that, on 9-11.

I thought it was MUSLIMS who did that by blowing themselves up in cafes, on bus stops and in public markets.

I thought it was MUSLIMS who did that by blowing up a Marine barracks.

I thought it was MUSLIMS who did that by blowing up diplomats in our embassies.

I thought it was MUSLIMS who did that by trying to blow up the USS Cole.

I thought it was MUSLIMS who did that when they tried to topple the World Trade Center the first time, in 1993.

I’ll worry about OUR “human rights violations” when the Islamic barbarians learn how to behave like human beings.

The BBC reported on Thursday blockbuster news of a new tape that shows that "US forces may have been responsible for the deliberate killing of 11 innocent Iraqi civilians." The tape was provided by a hardline Sunni insurgent group, whose well…

It is the absence of these hundreds of stories, which stands as an overwhelming testament for the irreproachable ethical and moral code of conduct by which our finest live and die. And that’s that. No apologies offered and none expected for the thousa…

I found out about this when I was listening to Congressman Curt Weldon on the radio. Weldon puts things into CONTEXT.

I believe the town people were pretty much in cohoots with the terrorists. When the Nov ‘05 incident occurred and yet another 20-yr old was blown in half, the Marines decided “a new tactic” (my words).

To me, all these “civilians” are collaborators.
I WOULD EXHONERATE ALL THE MARINES.

None of them are guilty of anything.

I SAY OUR MARINES DON’T KILL ANYBODY WHO DON’T DESERVE IT. (at least 99.999% of them don’t). They do what they have to do.

the left is running rampant with more similar stories (ie: pregnant women shot, man shot and troops put a shovel in his hand, etc etc..). More than likely the man did use a shovel to bury an IED. I STAND WITH OUR MARINES!

Also, now the Marines have to get MORE mandatory “sensitivity” and “rules of war – civilian rights” training.. (THEY GET TONS OF IT ALREADY!)

I don’t like this cycle…. This could be the beginning of the end… We have to do something!!

BBC News (as always, consider the source) made a splash with its report claiming to have “uncovered new video evidence that US forces may have been responsible for the deliberate killing of 11 innocent Iraqi civilians” in the town of……
