COMMENTARY
January 2006
The Panic Over Iraq
Norman Podhoretz
highly relevant passage for the SwiftVets (and highly detrimental to Kerry's goals):
One young reporter, who proudly proclaims his membership in the mainstream media, has been only too happy to provide an explanation:
As long as American soldiers are getting killed nearly every day, we’re not going to be giving much coverage to the opening of multimillion dollar sewage projects. American lives are worth more than Iraqi ****.
<Oh, our wonderful MSM>
snipped out some passages about Vietnam syndrome thought to be over after 9/11...
... As is evident from the coverage of Iraq in the mainstream media, such pronouncements were more than a little premature: the Vietnam syndrome is still alive and well. But equally apparent is that the reporters and editors to whom it is a veritable religion understand very clearly that success in Iraq could deal the Vietnam syndrome a mortal blow. Little wonder, then, that they have so resolutely tried to ignore any and all signs of progress—or, when that becomes impossible, to dismiss them as so much “****.”
