Why the "War on the War" is unraveling
Those who believe the War in Iraq has failed, are those who think that the world's greatest superpower has once again crumbled before the tactics of the Third World ideologue. This perception is being fed by the Mainstream Media which greatly magnifies reports of terrorist attacks and suicide bombings far beyond their effect on the battlefield. So, while our Army in the Middle East continues to induce slow and steady success, as they endure light casualties compared to previous conflicts in our nation’s history, the MSM has convinced elites in America the war is lost.
Just as this message of doom and gloom emanates from the old Broadcast News on TV and the printed paper, so is the story itself weakened and cast into doubt by the New Media of Talk Radio and the Internet. As a mighty torrential flood that sweeps all before it, but gradually peters out into numerous eddies and streams, so has the constant death count in the news been reported so often as to fall on increasingly deaf ears.
The same pessimistic tale is repeated so consistently on TV, radio, and spread into the vast ether that is the World Wide Web, it is viewed with unconcern by a public who go about their daily lives in spite of the war. It’s not that they do not care what goes on in the Middle East, or for our brave and brilliant soldiers constantly putting their lives at risk, but feel they have little part in the affair, preferring to leave the fighting and the worry to the experts, either in Washington or on the front lines.
