Hat tip the invaluble REAL CLEAR POLITICS:
WSJ; NYP; Shawcross. And remember this golden oldie from Hitch.
A lot is at stake in Iraq. It's no time to go wobbly - though that's exactly what the Left and Binladen would like.

I dissected the WSJ piece at THE BLACK KETTLE blogspot (he's in your corner by and large,don't fret about the plug.)
ReplyDeleteOn the NYP piece.
The author admits "Iraq might still break into pieces",
and that Pakistan (a much more crucial nation than Afghanistan and far less impenetrable by the US)is "worsening".Reassuring? (By the way,
the warlords in power in Afghanistan are not "democrats";
in fact they adhere in the main to an only slightly less conservative form of Islam than the Taliban.)
Then there's the
familiar "we haven't had another
terror attack" under Bush.
Fact is, as the public wearies of the Iraq War,it might be increasingly reflecting on the failure of the Bushies to keep the first one from happening.
It took the jihad from 1993 to 2001 to plan the WTC/Pentagon
attack,so at this time his pro-
Bush chortling cannot be accepted
as justified. And the 2500
unnecessary losses in Iraq
are salt in the wound of the
earlier losses to the jihad.
and this depiction/admission today by the US official

means "stratra-sphere" should no longer be believed by anyone on the Iraq War, as a few days ago
this "intelligence" expert said
there was NO war in Iraq,inferring
it is a liberal anti-Bush media concoction.
