CONSERVATIVES JUST CAN'T TURN OFF THE AGIT-PROP

Matt Latimer "was deputy director of speechwriting for George W. Bush and chief speechwriter for Donald Rumsfeld" and is STILL slinging the shit.  Here's one flagrant piece from an article of his in the Daily Beast:

Recently President Obama instituted a no-fly zone over parts of Libya—a gamble that puts many American pilots at serious risk.

Tom Engelhardt points out that it's been over a decade since an American plane was shot down:

As an F-117A Stealth fighter was downed by a surface-to-air missile over Serbia in 1999, it’s been more than 11 years since such a plane was lost due to anything but mechanical malfunction. Yet in those years, the U.S. has remained almost continuously at war somewhere and has used air power extensively, as in its “shock and awe” launch to the invasion of Iraq, which was meant to “decapitate” Saddam Hussein and the rest of the Iraqi leadership.
