FINALLY.......THE NEW REPUBLIC RAG-MAG IS HOISTED ON ITS OWN PETARD FOR ITS GROSSLY ERRONEOUS/BIASED/FALSIFIED/DISTORTED PRESENTATION OF HOW WELL WE WERE DOING IN THE WAR!!!
Eric Alterman, writing in the The Nation magazine has this to say about TNR's outrageously horrid "coverage" of the war on terrorism:
"TNR's editors have not merely been spectacularly wrong about the war but frequently nonsensical. In the magazine's November 19 editorial, for instance, it complained that we were losing the war because, like President Clinton, who had "stupidly" "ruled out the use of ground forces" in Kosovo, George Bush was now sending "the same lulling message: the United States will not put large numbers of troops on the ground." Oddly, the very same editorial noted that ethnic cleansing in Kosovo ended only when "Slobodan Milosevic was confronted with the threat of an imminent deployment of American ground forces." Since Clinton had supposedly ruled that out, one can only imagine who it was that threatened their "imminent deployment." President Gore?
In that same remarkable editorial, the editors grumbled that US military efforts had "gotten us exactly nowhere." The clear result: "The Taliban will rule Afghanistan through the winter, thereby handing the United States a humiliating and gratuitous defeat." "
CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE TRUE?
:Is is possible that Mad Mullah Omar has already been captured? This Yahoo! news report says so. Let's sure hope so! Will Osama Bin Lunatic be next on the block?
So the Defense Dept. top guys think that Osama Bin Laden was wounded in a U.S. bombing run? Let's hope so!! Story here:

From the N.Y. Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/02/national/02CND-TERR.html?todaysheadlines :
The charges accused Mr. Moussaoui of conspiring with the 19 hijackers who crashed planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field on Sept. 11, killing about 3,300 people. Specifically, the indictment said Mr. Moussaoui received payment from a man in Germany who is believed to have served as a paymaster for some of the hijackers.
Well, folks, it appears that the moves are bding made on Bin Laden & his merry scumbabs. May Moussaoui break & spill all so that this nation be spared future Sept. 11ths.
