re: #135 crosspatch

Yes. I agree with you (especially about the media wanting to encourage the claim that the US military is already “defeated” in the War on Terror, etc.) That too I find extremely aggravating. But, I believe, this is another, completely separate, issue. And, this is the problem of having potential military strategists given propaganda spiels by advocates for HAMAS (with no apparent countervailing information), and the attempt to legitimate/normalize HAMAS. Why pay pro HAMAS “professors”? (after all, if anyone wants a pro-HAMAS spiel, just tune in to the BBC, CBC, CNN, etc.)
