Now that Americans are becoming more familiar with the smear tactics of this administration, they should see through the new smears and denials and jump on this story. This is one of those days when I wish I could watch the Sunday morning shows to see how this one plays out. Thanks "Bombs of Peace" for the link to the rapid spin response from the Pentagon.
