Paul Bremer Tongue-Lashes the MSM.

Much hay has been made this week about the report by Paul Bremer, the administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq until June 2004, when he handed the keys to the country back to the Iraqis (because the US is such an empire-building, colonizing bunch of conquerors). Mr. Bremer made comments a few days ago to the effect that Bush made two mistakes in Iraq: not sending enough troops, and not controlling the violence since Baghdad fell. Kerry and the Democrats/media immediately seized on this and started using the comments to condemn Bush's post-war Iraq plan.

One, we all know Bush is not responsible for Zarqawi's terrorists and the hundreds of innocents and American soldiers he has murdered. Making the claim that Bush is responsible for one thousand deaths there is preposterous.

Second, Bremer came out this morning swinging hard at the media for using his comments to attack Bush. He wrote this remarkable op-ed piece which ran in the Times today--the fact that it ran at all is shocking!--in which he strongly defends Bush's policies toward Iraq.

From the piece: "The press has been curiously reluctant to report my constant public support for the president's strategy in Iraq and his policies to fight terrorism. I have been involved in the war on terrorism for two decades, and in my view no world leader has better understood the stakes in this global war than President Bush."

That's because the press is curiously reluctant to report both sides of any given political issue. They will always report the liberal side .. which consistently happens to be the anti-American side, you might notice. And they will always run the DNC talking points as though they are "news".

Bravo to Bremer for calling them on their lack of objectivity. The Republicans are starting to sharpen up and get tough .. GOOD! Can't wait to see the debate tonight. I will be front row (at home, of course) with popcorn.
