AFP Recycles "Quagmire" Story Twice in 3 Weeks

The Freepers caught the AFP printing the story once on December 4, and then again today on the wires. Allah has screenshots and a side-by-side comparison of the altered and edited texts of the same exact "story" - all done up with edits and a new 'spin' for the networks and newspapers to trumpet.

Here's the article on December 4, 2006. Here is is again in differnet clothing (but stupidly, with the same header) on December 26, 2006.

Paging Eric Boehlert! This hit job was done intentionally, for those at Media Matters who are paying attention. I guess that kind of media manipulation and dishonesty doesn't matter.

In addition, the "warbloggers" should just shut up and not notice or highlight these kinds of things. The foreign and composite organs of the mainstream media, after all, are the final and penultimate arbiter of honesty and accuracy.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move it along.

1 Well, is it a quagmire, or not?

2 Did the leftist get the point of this post? Sadly, No! Swing and a miss!

To answer your ridiculous question, absolutely not. We can leave if we choose to, and the majority of casualties are Shiite on Sunni terrorists, not on US troops. We are choosing not to leave. Simple.

Now its your turn.

Does the fact that the same "news" story was recycled as a "new" story matter to you, or not? Or is truthiness more important than the actual facts?

We'll wait.

3 Actually, the media had been playing the quagmire story shortly after the invasion, as little as a few weeks in some cases. But is it a quagmire? No more so than Germany, where the US had to fight Nazi insurgents(werewolves, they called themselves) for months or perhaps years after the armistice. By the way, aren't we still in Germany?

I do know this. Something bad is going to happen to the World, as the West has now ceded control, via the media and political correctness, to the Arab Muslims.

4 I intend to respond to this sort of AP bullcrap with the following, and I hope you agree ...
 
 
"DEATH TO AP!"
 
 
And have a Happy New Year.
 
USA, all the way!

5 To be more accurate, the media's been running this quagmire story for going on three years now.

6 Letters from FantasyLand:


The Coalition is accomplising every goal it set forth; Saddam was overthrown and captured, his psychopathic sons snuffed with extreme prejudice, 3 elections carried were out, a Constitution was drafted, an infrastructure has been built from the ground up, oil production is at an all time high, the economy has more than tripled, all refugees have returned and then some, privately owned newspapers and television stations are booming, agriculture is thriving, the country is now exporting goods and services, business ownership is at an all time high, per capita income has skyrocketed, etc., etc., etc.


Meanwhile, the terrorists and their allies on the left have failed to accomplish any of their stated goals. They weren't able to prevent any of the advances I listed above. The only goal they have left is to pressure decent Americans into cuttin'  n runnin.'


Ain't gonna happen, traitor.

7 AP is the 'quagmire'! Death to AP! it needs to go. We need to commit to keeping up the pressure. AP is a proven, and deadly enemy. US troops are being burned in efigy by the press daily. In one way or another. AP is right at the center of it!
 
 
USA, all the way, with a New Years resolution of 'Death to AP'!
