On the question of a quick war, media critic Marvin Kalb, asenior fellow at Harvard University's Joan Shorenstein Centeron the Press, Politics and Public Policy, said, "The media did not make up the expectation that they expected this to be a brief,essentially bloodless war. They got that from officials, from the vice president and the Joint Chiefs chairman."
Um, guys, since when did you stop being skeptical about the public prouncements of politicians? Never mind, I know the answer.
