Seabee’s busied themselves constucting the tower tops for the Combat outposts for most of late 2005 and most of 2006, their handiwork can be seen all over An Anbar. But it is stunning that listening to the Mudville Gazette report that, the MSM missed the story. ONE reporter got it right, one lone reporter put a story out about it, and not one outlet pick up on it. I believe you posted it here (at the Belmont club).

I recall feeling a glimmer of optimism that yeah, someone is getting it, somewhere in Iraq the ultimate inevitable connection has been made between Al Qaeda = bad, and US = good. Oberman missed the story, Oberman could not be bothered to research a matter of historical fact, and yet he has the audacity to call Senator McCain a lier. Because Oberman and the MSM were too lazy to actually get off their bar stools get out of the green zone and actually do some reporting they missed the most important story on the war. And McCain is delusional? Because of their incompetence “OH”bama is stuck on a false narrative, and through stubborness and lack of experience and a refusal to talk to the military he doesn’t know which story to believe, the story of the men who made it happen or the story of the men who sat through it all in a Baghdad bar.
