MSNBC’s “Grim Milestone” banner applied to history

October 25th, 2005 · 3 Comments

Little Green Footballs notes MSNBC’s “Grim Milestone” banner in part of their “Grim Milestone” watch. I thought I’d see what their tack on the conflict in Iraq would look like if applied to other points of conflict in history:

Grim Milestone in Dunkirk

Grim Milestone in Pearl Harbor

Grim Milestone on D-Day

Grim Milestone in the Ardennes

More at Wizbang, Michelle Malkin, Faces from the Front, Lt. Smash, National Review’s Media Blog, the Political Teen, and more.

Update: Linking to the Beltway Traffic Jam, and the Carnival of the Trackbacks.

    Nice comparison. I’m a little frustrated by the whole thing myself. It’s nice to read other people’s take on this.
