Here's the telling bit from MySanAntonio (part of the online presence of the San Antonio Express-News):
The text available isn't worth reading--apparently "San Antonians divided on what should be done in Iraqi quagmire." Man! Quagmire! Just like the New York Times! Hey Expressed-Views, it's not a quagmire until there's been a war on for a day or two. John MacCormack found some people and talked to them. It's an odd man-on-the-street article, starting with some left-tilted introductory text, ending with unlikely anti-war sentiment from local veterans. Veterans Against the War, just like in the 60's!
Here's a taste of the intro grafs: "Americans in general don't share President Bush's conviction that war is the only answer to the Iraqi quagmire, and one that must be applied sooner rather than later." By that token, the French in general don't oppose the war. See? They's just words. Now I'll do the Brent Bozell-style counting of quotes. From the pro-war side, I've got... four people for and seven against. I'm sort of confused as to whether some of the quotes from the Veterans of Foreign Wars count as good or bad. It's a VFW Post on the South Side of SA, so we're not talking Bush fans. Endorsements of the war are tempered with stuff like "There's plenty of politics in this, just like there was in Vietnam. We're fighting for oil. And we lost our ass in Vietnam because of politics. Same thing in Korea," and "The elections are coming up. They are set on winning and he's the president. The man can't quit now."
No students worth quoting, of course. For those of you not from SA, the "colleges" in San Antonio are kind of a weird bag. You'd think with all the colleges here there'd be more college graduates. The rich-kid colleges are St. Mary's, Trinity, and University of the Incarnate Word, each with their own reddish tint. Then there's the Alamo Community College District, four JC's that many seem to attend in perpetuity. And there's UT's little branch school--it's pretty expensive to go there and every student and graduate insists "it's hard, just like a real college," but let's face it--as expensive as it is, that means the really dumb rich kids go there because their parents couldn't buy their way into decent state schools.
The piece is worthless--tinged with the leftist thought (in the text, not in the quotes) that sets up the whole war scenario as something of a corrupt mess anyhow. I mean... quagmire?
