Prep work for the Patreus report...
We are being attacked by the media prepping us for the Patreus fake report that will BS us about the war progress. During this prepping they are quoting the supposed unbiased Brookings experts [as apposed to AEI for once]. Could Alex mention this obvious conflict of interest so that people do not think Brookings is any better than AEI or CFR?

About the Commission
The Continuity of Government Commission was launched in the fall of 2002 in order to study and recommend reforms to ensure the continuity of our governmental institutions in the event of a catastrophic attack.[/size][/color][/url][/center]
The commission is an American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the Brookings Institution project headquartered at AEI. It is funded by the Carnegie, Hewlett, Packard, and MacArthur foundations. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford are the honorary co-chairs of the commission and Lloyd Cutler and Alan Simpson are the chairmen. The commission includes members who have served in government at the highest levels....

FOXNews reporter Courtney Keely reports from Baghdad that the surge is working. Really, it is. Don’t pay attention to the fact that she’s in a Baghdad market surrounded by MORE security than John McCain and every Iraqi she speaks to tells her about the death and destruction all around them.
I mean, c’mon, don’t let the reality of the situation get in the way of a good cheerleading segment for Bush’s policies.
