In which I agree with Brent Bozell

Bozell is so full of S. Never in a million years would he have wanted to devote more coverage "the tragic deaths of American soldiers in Afghanistan." during the Bush years. Who pays any attention to this pandering fool? When is someone going to write an expose on this guy and his organization.

Hold on a minute...

Isn't Bozell one of those guys who were probably yelling to high heaven about, why does the media only show bad stories coming out of Iraq? Why don't they show the positive stories?

Now, I don't know if he specifically called for such a thing, but there were plenty on the right who were yelling about that for YEARS. Sounds like a flip flop to me.

I mean, why do they want to see the negative stories now? Hmm... Seems, well, fishy doesn't it?

Sorry, but he hasn't come around, as I can explain in two words: Reagan's Funeral. Wall-to-wall coverage of Reagan's five day funeral in June 2004 occurred during these events in Afghanistan (courtesy of Wikipedia):

"Monday, June 7 - A U.S. soldier was killed and two others wounded after their vehicle hit a landmine in southeastern Afghanistan. They were taken to Kandahar airfield hospital where the one soldier died.
Tuesday, June 8 - U.S.-led coalition and Afghan forces completed a week-long operation in the Daychopan District of Zabul Province,Afghanistan. Through the course of the operation, 73 rebel fighters were killed and 13 captured. Six Afghan government forces and four coalition soldiers were wounded, and none killed.
Afghan interim president Hamid Karzai began a week-long visit to the United States. His first appearance was at Fort Drum, New York.
Wednesday, June 9 - Eleven Chinese aid workers from Jiangxi province were killed in their compound by a score of armed men in Kunduz,Afghanistan, and another six were wounded. Taliban spokesman Abdul Latif Hakimi stated the Taliban were not involved.
U.S.-led coalition troops swept portions of Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, capturing a score of insurgents and killing eight.
Afghan interim president Hamid Karzai attends the G-8 Summit in Sea Island, Georgia.
Thursday, June 10 - In Kunduz Province, Afghanistan, police chief Mutaleb Beg announced that two suspects were detained in connection with the previous day's massacre of Chinese aid workers.
In the Bak District of Khost Province, Afghanistan, a U.S. encountered three roadside bombs; one discharged. There were no casualties.
Friday, June 11 - In southeast Afghanistan, eleven rockets were fired at a U.N. convoy carrying government officials.
During his visit to the U.S., Afghan interim president Hamid Karzai scrubbed his planned weekend visit to the Afghani community in California and began his visit to Washington by representing Afghanistan at the state funeral of former U.S. president Ronald Reagan. This marked the first time an Afghani head of state or government had ever attended a funeral of an American president."

Unfortunately, I can't bring up the data involving Iraq because I'm having trouble accessing the pdf files containing those, but the point was about Afghanistan, so it should be sufficient.

It's not the coffins that need the honor. It's the soldier contained within. The life lived, dreams, commitments. The honor and commitment of that one to this country ... land of the free. I agree that pictures of coffins should not be highlighted. The reaction is all emotion. That does not honor the people within.

"Anyway, it's great that he's come around."

And all it took was the election of a Democrat to do it.
