Sunday-Herald (Glasgow)
Across the pond they really know how to craft a headline: "US admits the war for ‘hearts and minds’ in Iraq is now lost". And the excerpts they select from the Pentagon report to Rumsfeld certainly back the headline's claim. My particular favorite is this passage: "The report calls for a huge boost in spending on propaganda efforts as war policies 'will not succeed unless they are communicated to global domestic audiences in ways that are credible.'" And all I can think about is that ludicrous PowerPoint's attempts to communicate credibly. It's just pathetic. The Bush admissions that, as TChris notes on TalkLeft, come only after re-election, are not, methinks, the last whoopsies that we'll be hearing from our president.
