Media Misrepresent Democrats' Options on Iraq War

Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting reports: "Following a pattern set when Congress passed supplemental funding for the Iraq War last May, major media outlets continued to 'explain' the politics of the war in incomplete and misleading ways.... Congress does not have to pass legislation to bring an end to the war in Iraq - it simply has to block passage of any bill that would continue to fund the war. This requires not 67 or 60 Senate votes, or even 51, but just 41 ... the Democrats have more than enough votes to end the Iraq War - if they choose to do so."

As the highly public face of President George W Bush’s policy in Iraq, especially the ’surge,’ General David Petraeus has done his boss proud in following the White House script. This spokesman’s role, however, has created a deep rift between him and the nation’s highest military leaders. Most notably, he is on a collision course with Admiral William Fallon, chief of Central Command...

Gen. David Petraeus echoed many of George W. Bush’s dubious arguments for fighting an open-ended war in Iraq, including the emotional appeal that al-Qaeda sees Iraq as the ‘central front’ in its global jihad and wants to drive the Americans out in humiliation. But the intelligence data actually points to a near-opposite conclusion: that al-Qaeda sees Iraq as a diversion for the United States and wants to keep American forces bogged down there for the foreseeable future...

A car bomb blew up in the capital’s Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Sadr City on Thursday, killing at least four people, as a new survey suggested that the civilian death toll from the war could be more than 1 million. … ORB said it drew its conclusion from responses to the question about those living under one roof: ‘How many members of your household, if any, have died as a result of the conflict in Iraq since 2003?’ Based on Iraq’s estimated number of households — 4,050,597 — it said the 1.2 million figure was reasonable. There was no way to verify the number, because the government does not provide a full count of civilian deaths. Neither does the U.S. military. Both, however, say that independent organizations greatly exaggerate estimates of civilian casualties...
