I was wrong, I did misread the first note. John does have a point
though. The media fought Bush for the right to go out to Dover and
take pictures of coffins from the Iraq war and now that they have that
right, they are not showing the coffins coming home from Afghanistan.

I don't really think it is a liberal conspiracy though. I think the TV
networks just figured out they sell more products if they don't show
coffins and they like the American public to be as blissfully ignorant
of this war as Oprah. It does demonstrate how phony the righteous
indignation of the left was when Bush was the president. It was never
about the war. It was only about Bush.
That's about as simple-minded an analysis as I've seen. Maybe there's
less reportage about the bodies because it's been reported and it's boring.

So you are saying Bush made war a safe prospect for Democrats? Now
nobody cares that our kids are being killed for no particular reason
and they can stay in the blissful ignorance Oprah is so proud of.

No, I am not saying that Bush made way a "safe prospect." What I posted,
in plain English, is easy enough to understand: maybe there is less
reportage about the bodies because it's been reported and it's boring.

The young U.S. men and women who died in Iraq during Bush's war were
killed for no particular reason. The last time large numbers of U.S.
troops died for a particular reason was in World War II.
