"Editors and Generals....."
"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor "geniuses" plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late.
Accordingly, I'm readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I'll, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials - after the fact."
Robert E. Lee, 1863

I am getting that "Deja Vu all over again" feeling. Something about failing to learn the lesson of history and being doomed. Could it be that most of our ills today are imposed by the press?

New Direction From What?
The Democrats new promise "A New Direction For America - Vote Democratic"
The stock market is at a new all-time high and America's 401K's are back. A new direction from there means, what?
Unemployment is at 25 year lows. A new direction from there means, what?
Taxes are at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means what?
Federal tax revenues are at all-time highs. A new direction from there means, what?
The Federal deficit is down almost 50%, just as predicted over last year. A new direction from there means. what?
Home valuations are up 200% over the past 3.5 years. A new direction from there means, what?
Inflation is in check, hovering at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means, what?
Not a single terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11/01. A new direction from there means, what?
Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced in years, if he's alive at all, while 95% of Al Qaeda's top dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel. A new direction from there means, what?
Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by US and British Intel, including the recent planned attack involving 10 Jumbo Jets being exploded in mid-air over major US cities in order to celebrate the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks. A new direction from there means, what?
Just as President Bush foretold us on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made "ground zero" for the war on terrorism --and just as President Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are arriving from the shadows of their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US Marines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here. A new direction from there means, what?
Now let me see, do I have this right? I can expect:
a. The economy to go South
b. Illegal's to go North
c. Taxes to go Up
d. Employment to go Down
e. Terrorism to come
f. Income Tax breaks to go Out
g. Social Security to go away
h. Health Care to go the same way gas prices have gone.
This was sent to me by a stalwart Republican, I see and understand his frustration. Bush bashing has achieved a new high, is spilling over into the upper echelons of our military, becoming a source of continuous income for everyone in the fourth estate. The press can continue to write anti-Bush hogwash because it is so easy, true or not, it's fair game and easy money. I really hope that more Democrats decide to throw their hat into the ring. Let them fight among themselves.
