The real cost of Foley-gate

Anyone remember the war? Apparently very few, as the Washington press corps focuses with laser-like precision on those dastardly e-mails. As Crooks and Liars, points out, “we have lost 19 soldiers in Iraq this month, and today is only the fourth day of the month.”

One thought on “The real cost of Foley-gate”

  1. Its amazing how the American media works. We have lost fifteen more American service people over the last couple days, and what is getting attention? Its just another sex scandal.

War is hell. Finally, the mainstream media is beginning to support our troops by speaking the truth about their sacrifices. more
