Shame on HuffPo

The Liberal news and blog site The Huffington Post, ran by Arianna Huffington, leads today's front page with "Sr. Commander in Iraq: US Not Strong Enough To Defeat Insurgency...".

That Commander is Marine Major General Richard Zilmer. The misleading headline does not mention the general's thought on force levels. "For what we are trying to achieve out here, I think our force levels are about right." He continued later, "I think we are winning this war."

General Zilmer's took a quick shot at media outlets like The Huffington Post by insisting that "[r]ecent media reports fail to accurately capture the entirety and complexity of the current situation."

The Huffington Post has yet to run a quote from a senior commander in Iraq or Afghanistan that places the missions in a positive light. Only statements from former General Officers calling for Secretary Rumsfeld's resignation or one-liners taken innapropriately from a GO's speech are worthy of HuffPo's website.

Shame on you, Arianna.
