Lashing Out

(Fox News) - The media eagerly reported comments by former top commander of coalition forces in Iraq General Ricardo Sanchez — calling the war in Iraq a "nightmare with no end in sight."

But there has been considerably less reporting of his harsh criticism of the press — in the same speech Friday to military reporters and editors. Some examples — "Over the course of this war tactically insignificant events have become strategic defeats for America because of the tremendous power and impact of the media and by extension you the journalist. In many cases the media has unjustly destroyed the individual reputations and careers of those involved," "you are perpetuating the corrosive partisan politics that is destroying our country and killing our service members who are at war," "for some of you, just like some of our politicians, the truth is of little to no value if it does not fit your own preconceived notions, biases and agendas."
