Don't be spun by the spin
Oldwhitelady has pointed to an article written by Charlie Reese titled Don't Be Spun by the Spin. Here is a little excerpt from the article:
President Bush will hail his trip to Europe as a resounding success. He hails everything he does as a resounding success regardless of the evidence to the contrary. All politicians do that.Oldwhitelady thinks the article is worth reading and believes that people reading this article would find plenty to think about. I agree with Oldwhitelady but I would like to make a little correction to what she says; and that is that the article might make some people think, but only those who are capable of thinking; those who have a functional brain to think. Neither this article nor any other valuable article will work on those whose minds are plugged and will easily be spun, as Reese calls it, by every spin.
Lest you be spun by the spin, note that he comes home with only one tangible result – an agreement by NATO to assist in training Iraqi forces, and a tepid assist it will be. Two of the NATO countries have agreed to supply one man each. Nearly all of the training will take place in Europe.
