ABC's Martha Raddatz says when you go to Iraq you feel "more hopeful"

than when you're in the US. She's in Mosul. "But it's difficult to go far away from US troops." Now talking about the Iraqi security forces, how the US guys are "crossing their fingers." When tested, "they've failed. The security situation continues to deteriorate in parts of Iraq, Baghdad, Mosul continues to be a problem."

Plenty of hope there, Martha!! This is nuts, they say one thing, then contradict themselves. It's weird. Their "editorializing" disconnects from reality.

The Newsweek guy on just before her commented about how foreign countries pick up "American hypocrisy." Thank you, Zach.


Back in the old days of real journalism, a reporter would stand there and report the incidences, etc. Not open up with an opinion about "hope" unless quoting someone who was in charge being interviewed. At least you could clearly see where the spin was emanating from.

She is hoping that is not her parents guts all over her. She was in Mosul Yesterday as well.

blood. Well, that's how Cheney wants us to start looking at this war.

called "Camp Victory!" These people have NO SOULS!!!
