Not that I think her assessment of the Malian rebels is wrong, but the contrast between the war coverage under Bush compared to the war coverage under Obama/France's socialist president Hollande is positively absurd. In the first place, you'd hardly know there was a war on. I have yet to find an anti-war protest anywhere (so much for principles). Second, the rank hypocrisy of the United Nations and the international media unequivocally condemning American world-policing, while heaping an embarrassing level of praise on French neo-imperialism, is so obvious, so shameless, it defies satire. I mean, this reporter even goes so far as to claim the Malians are just begging the glorious white men to stay and protect them, for the hapless Africans could never defend themselves! It's so preposterous. Oh, my god, I need a nap. I haven't seen the like of it since the 19th century.... I... can't.... breathe.................!
