Battle of the Bulge and Iraq

I don't get into politics too much on the blog, but a thought hit me recently. I wonder what today's reporters would have said if they had had been looking at the events during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII. You recall that the Germans made one final push in December 1944 to salvage victory in Europe. There were many casualities and for a while it didn't look good for the Allies. The news media of today would have been whining as now, I'm sure. However, we did win that one as I recall.

The same is true in Iraq at the moment. The violence has escalated as the enemy attempts to salvage victory. The media is whining about how badly things are going. I have confidence we're going to win this one too!
