"Change". That's the theme of this year's presidential election. A change from the partisan bickering on Capitol Hill. A change in foreign policy. A change in domestic policy. Change. If a "change" does occur, it will be interesting to watch unfold, IF it is allowed to do so.

General Sanchez Rips The Media

If ever there was a clearer example of selective reporting and bias by the media, here is the best example to date. The left is translating and selectively quoting LTG (Ret) Ricardo Sanchez' comments during the October 12 Military Reporters and Editors Luncheon in Washington D.C.
