A word on Col. McMaster
Yesterday I noted that Col. McMaster had given an utterly compelling Pentagon briefing by video from Iraq this past September on the operation that cleared Tall 'Afar, but that I had been unable to find the link to the video on the Pentagon Channel. Robert Newton writes that he found Col. McMaster's briefing on the Pentagon Channel by clicking on "View Programming" and then searching for "McMaster," and that it worked in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. Mr. Newton adds:
The immediate and persistent thought I had is, "Why isn't this story on the front page of Time?" I have to believe that Col. McMaster's story, and hundreds like it, comprise the true story of our mission in Iraq. This is what the American media need to put in front of our people. To paraphrase Joseph Lowery, "There are weapons of misdirection right here..." in the mainstream media.UPDATE: Thanks to readers Bob Brandenburg and Jo French for directing us to the transcript of the September Pentagon briefing by Col. McMaster.
