Teresita, are you referencing the Taliban Pyrrhic Victory in your quote, or the American one?

Remember, once Sen. Obama is elected fresh legions of newly idealized youth will pour out of American “Blue State” cities (a great day for recruiters at UC Berkley). They will hurl themselves into the tribal areas of Pakistan and will be welcomed there as helpmates. They will drill for water by day (they better not find oil!) and by night they will (?) the enemy. Then they will (??) him! And finally (???) him! Point is, the enemy will become de-persuaded by all this attention, and piece will occur.

For President Obama is the man that can end a war simply by signing a piece of paper, one that orders the abandonment of allies (yesterday’s “new found friends” and tomorrow’s “why do they hate us?” dependent clause). The Obama piece is the all to common “piece of signed paper” equals “peace in our time” confusion. So: muck about in the mountains for a while, put on a good show. Order all and sundry to leave.

So you might think it were the Taliban’s victory that weren’t really a victory they could afford. Only, of course, they can afford it. For it is their enemy (US) with President Obama’s fresh faced legions pouring “in theater” who will then give up, and pour back out. For it is all part of the slosh and froth. The media slosh and froth, done for show and having nothing to do with showing up, and staying and doing.

Perhaps the Pyrrhic victory came in the media wars. The MSM may have brought down George Bush (at least in the esteem of the nation), but can they afford one more such victory? For they have brought him down, and yet still must look up to see him.

They deploy what force remains to buoy-up Barrack Obama. For the media is not in the tank for Sen. Obama. They are the tank, and The Obama Campaign bobs about amongst the surface froth, pushed hither and yon by the media slosh. Unfortunately, the tank leaks. And as goes the media muck (the source of their power), so shall go the Media’s President.

Where will that leave President Obama when “words, just words” are not enough to impress our enemies? Words — often unjust words or delivered in jest words — are all the media has. And they don’t bother to remember, let alone keep, their “word.”
