It is their fault those sixteen words appeared in the President's 2003 State of the Union. It is their fault those mobile weapons laboratories turned out to be weather balloon launchers. It is their fault Ansar-al-Islam operated in the Kurdish controlled north of Iraq without the approval of Saddam. It is their fault for linking Saddam and 9/11. It is their fault we threw away 10 years of refined battle plans. It is their fault we did not put 500,000 troops in Iraq to secure the peace. They made Donald Rumsfeld say he knew the Iraq WMD was "in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat." They made Dick Cheney say "we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." They made Donald Rumsfeld deny the existence of the insurgency, all the while asking him about the rising violence in the early days of Iraq. In fact they made him say, "I picked up a newspaper today and I couldn't believe it. I read eight headlines that talked about chaos, violence, unrest. And it just was Henny Penny -- "The sky is falling." I've never seen anything like it!" They even made Dick Cheney say "I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." They made the President say, "stay the course," when they asked what his strategy was in Iraq.
Ladies and gentlemen, the case is clear, the American news media is to blame for our failure in Iraq, without one doubt whatsoever.
