NewsBusters.org – Exposing Liberal Media Bias

The improving situation in Iraq is driving certain congressmen and congresswomen to rhetorical depths I don’t recall ever seeing.
Though there have almost surely been other instances of offensive excess o…

No need for that. Just shift the emphasis to the first syllable.

From one form of denial to another: Here’s Jim MoranMoron, making the case tonight for pulling the plug on the war by alleging that “we” have “ethnically cleansed” Baghdad.

Nothing more need be said….

You don’t allow college-attending, white males to visit your website? How rude, but “super super cereal” Hetero of you!

If you’re a dude, I don’t swing that way, NTTAWWT

Whoa, fogw, I like what I see when I read your mind!

Face value.

p.s. nothing wrong with real men :) Cheers to both of you,

Close. It was Salma Hayek.

Damned if ya do, damned if ya don’t. Ya just can’t win. It went right into the trash where it belongs.

The surge is working, but ……

USA Tomorrow,

The Sunnis and Shiites have made peace, but …..

USA Next Week,

Al Qaeda has been completely driven from Iraq, but …..

USA Next Month,

The utility grid is up and running at 100%, but …..

USA Next Year,

The troops are finally leaving Iraq, but …..

USA Next Decade,

Democracy thriving in Iraq, but …..

Terms such as accomplishment, perseverance, success and victory, in concert with anything associated with the Bush foreign policy, are unthinkable to the editors at USA Today and all the other liberal rags out there.

We know what to expect, but I am so disgustingly sick of listening to all of their cockeyed pessimism.

Also, the difference between Iraq from the first to second war is night and day. If you can’t see a terrorist influence in tactics and general attitude your are frigging idiot.

You are bizarre, but strangely arousing. Bookmark!

Granted the haloscan is easier to access, and doesn’t usually flop like the new comments thingy (or induce terrible lag-related migraine), but I like to keep multiple windows opened like a running AIM box.

And to help, they bring in Paul Eaton — who was supposed to train the Iraqi Army and whose big NYT op-ed manages to not mention counter-insurgency at all.

Plus, no mention of issues related to the top military brass at the time.

M’kay.

Sorry for the rant, but between this and AoSHQ comments, not that happy.

Eh, I kinda like the haloscan comments. They remind me of the old comment system before New Comments Thingy.

Bush administration officials, however, remained wedded to the idea that training the Iraqi army and leaving the country would suffice.

It’s good we’ve given up completely on training the IA/IP. Or better said “Get a brain, Moran!”

Thing that pisses me off about Petraeus’s “surge” has to be the lack of credit given to men like Col. MacFarland or Capt. Patriquin. Petraeus does deserve credit for changing the politics of the situation (as one philosopher said, “an army is best animated by one spirit”) but he wasn’t in command of the units that initiated the risky operations to close with the enemy. Even on the right-blogosphere, we do not give credit to the proper people.

Oh, and while ranting, this isn’t counter-insurgency as according to Petraeus. To have that, you first must have insurgents. As Ollie North wrote:

But this is no “guerilla insurgency.” By definition, “guerillas” or “insurgents” represent an organized political alternative to an established regime. Radical Sunni and Shi’ite clerics like Muqtada Al-Sadr, who tortured and killed 200 men, women and children, and buried them in a mass grave in Najaf, don’t promise to make things better for the Iraqi people. Nor do the remaining Baath Party warlords or foreign extremists like Abu Musab Al Zarqawi. These men inciting gunfights in Iraq aren’t “insurgents,” they are anarchists. They offer no unified “platform” other than “jihad!” When they aren’t shooting at coalition or Iraqi security forces, they are trying to kill each other. Dangerous? Yes. A “guerilla army”? No.

Counter-insurgency? No. Counter-terrorism? Yes, on a very large scale using a professional military force in a third world nation.

Sorry for the rant, but between this and AoSHQ comments, not that happy.

Yeah, Zoran

Here’s Jim Moran, making the case tonight for pulling the plug on the war by alleging that “we” have “ethnically cleansed” Baghdad.
