Brave citizens! Operation "Blame the Liberals" enters a new phase! In the face of unexpected resistance on the Iraqi front, Dear Leader calls upon all True Americans to attack Better Targets: traitorous liberals and their media allies, before they can stab our valiant troops in the back!

I'm sure it has nothing to do with misleading Americans as to the goals, costs, and duration of a war no one can explain anymore.
Army recruits shortfall blamed on Iraq war critics By Vicki Allen
38 minutes ago
Several Senate Republicans denounced other lawmakers and the news media on Thursday for unfavorable depictions of the Iraq war and the Pentagon urged members of Congress to talk up military service to help ease a recruiting shortfall.
Families are discouraging young men and women from enlisting "because of all the negative media that's out there," Sen. James Inhofe (news, bio, voting record), an Oklahoma Republican, said at a U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
Inhofe also said that other senators' criticism of the war contributed to the propaganda of U.S. enemies. He did not name the senators.
