| A Deafening Silence from Leftwing Bloggers as Obama Says He'll Keep Troops in Iraq, and Maybe Invade 180 Million Strong Pakistan While He's At It »
July 24, 2008
Baffled USAToday Asks: "Why Can't Obama Admit the Obvious? The Surge Worked"I don't want to knock USAToday too much for an editorial I agree with, but it is ironic that USAToday is bashing Obama for not admitting the surge worked, when, as far as I know, this is the very first time USAToday admitted it themselves. Why then can't Obama bring himself to acknowledge the surge worked better than he and other skeptics, including this page, thought it would? What does that stubbornness say about the kind of president he'd be? Does the media ever get out of preening hectoring mode? USAToday briefly notes it too was wrong, and I'm glad for that. But there's something unseemly about the MSM having been this wrong for this long and, rather than give us the big multipart front-page series on How the War Was Won deserved by the country, our troops, and the simple journalistic idea that big events should be well-documented, USAToday once again only admits the surge worked in a story about something else entirely. They can only admit the surge worked, it seems, when they can simultaneously demonstrate their superior judgment and integrity as compared to someone else. I don't think this is churlish. USAToday is quite right that Obama couldn't stand to admit "Bush was right." But is USAToday much more forthcoming? | Recent Comments
