MRC Friend,
Once again, the liberal media have been busted by our NewsBusters
staff as we do the work they refuse to do.
CNN's Situation Room showed Obama discussing his plan for ending
the Iraq war, saying he would "call in the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
and give them a new mission, and that is to bring the war in
Iraq to a close."
As NewsBusters reports, and what CNN isn't telling you, is that
there's just one problem: that's not the job of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff -- the war is under the jurisdiction of CENTCOM. Of course,
the liberal media have ignored this major gaffe by the potential
Commander In Chief. Go here for details:
