Pay for Print

So some lefties are steaming mad that the US is pumping money into programs designed to spread news in Iraq.  Isn't propaganda part of every war effort?  I have no problem with our government spending money to establish and support a free press in a newly-democratic society, and I don't for a second think that the stories being printed are at all untruthful.  Isn't that the real test one should apply when judging their sources?  (If you've got a few days and you're really interested in what's going right in Iraq, check out this article and work backwards.)

Perhaps it pisses off the NYT scribes that writers in Iraq are being paid for their efforts and that the Iraqi journalists end up writing good news which bolsters the case for the US continuing its work in Iraq.  I think what makes them even angrier is that the NYT writers, the ones who haven't been fired for passing off fiction as fact, are writing pro-terrorist and anti-American tracts day in and day out with no thanks or financial support from the murderous tyrants and terrorists they support.

Perhaps all the liberals reading this would like to set a timetable for the terrorists all around the world to withdraw and stop murdering people.  Until then their calls for a timetable to exit Iraq (or as I call it, surrender) will be ignored by this writer as I think they should be all freedom-loving people everywhere.
