The hatred of the Bush Whitehouse, and this country in general, by the left and their mouth pieces, the “main stream media”, came out when Dan Blather was spewing lies about our Presidents military service.

Now Newsweek has stepped in it, and is up to it’s neck the shit. As I’m sure you all have read by now, a statement made by Newsweek about soliders in GetMo supposedly flushing a Koran down a toilet sparked massive protests and violence in Afghanistan. Several people died as a result of these statements.

Statements that are now admittedly A LIE!

From Blogs For Bush:

Here we have the United States engaged in war with Islamic fundamentalists who view the United States as the Great Satan out to destroy all that his holy. Most Moslems don’t actually subscribe to this line of thinking, but throughout this war we have tread carefully so as not to inflame Islamic passions and give our terrorist enemies a propaganda tool to recruit even more terrorists.

Newsweek has blood on their hands…

One of the favorite attacks by the Left on George W. Bush is that he’s damaged the image of the United States in the eyes of the world. Well, it’s pretty clear to me who is really to blame for the tarnished image of our country: the media.

Via Drudge: White House bashes Newsweek report on Koran

WASHINGTON, May 16 (Reuters) – The White House said on Monday that a Newsweek report based on an anonymous source had damaged the U.S. image overseas by alleging that U.S. interrogators desecrated the Koran at Guantanamo Bay.

The May 9 report triggered several days of rioting in Afghanistan and other countries in which at least 16 people were killed.

Newsweek’s editor, Mark Whitaker, apologized to the victims on Sunday and said the magazine inaccurately reported that U.S. military investigators had confirmed that personnel at the detention facility in Cuba had flushed the Muslim holy book down the toilet.

“It’s puzzling that while Newsweek now acknowledges that they got the facts wrong, they refused to retract the story,” White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. “I think there’s a certain journalistic standard that should be met and in this instance it was not.”

Michelle Malkin notes that Newsweek “blames” the Pentagon for their mistake:

On MSNBC’s Don Imus show this morning, Newsweek’s Howard Fineman and Jonathan Alter patted themselves and their magazine on the back for their fine demonstration of media accountability…and continued the blame-the-Pentagon meme.
