24 May 2009 Airheaded Headline of the Day

Courtesy of a screen shot of my Google News homepage, I present yet another airheaded news media headline.

Truly, has any head of state ever gone to war and claimed it was without cause?

The real meat of the sentence the headline refers to (“I will only send you into harm’s way when it is absolutely necessary, and with the strategy, the well-defined goals, the equipment and the support that you need to get the job done…”) has to do with winning once the troops have been sent.

That’s the pledge we will hold him to.

I guess the news media didn’t think that was the important part.
