US General Abizaid on 'Meet the Press':
The enemy wants to break our will. They are experts at manipulating the media. They have yet to win a single military engagement in that country. They have yet to win a single military engagement against the forces of the new Iraq armed forces that are standing up.Three problems here:
1. So, these guys who we were led to believe have spent the last 2,000 years living in caves (or the metaphorical equivalent thereof) are now suddenly better public relations experts than the folks on Madison Avenue.
2. She doesn't look like an expert at manipulating the media, yet, her current condition does a pretty damn good job of it anyway. And this is HER fault?
3. The insurgents haven't won a single battle with us yet, we're told. Well bully for our side. I'm sure the 1,000 dead, and the car-bomb-a-day residents of Iraq, will find that all very comforting. And apparently, we're doing so well that we need even MORE troops - presumably to join in the celebration of our victory.
So, what does "losing" look like?
