This was in the N.Y. Slimes!!!?? Is this a letter to the editor?? The only way the Times opines with wisdom is when it imports some. This author is certainly no one actually on the payroll of that fishwrap/bird cage floor, is he??

"Nonetheless, yesterday's defections from the Iraqi Governing Council show that populist pressure on the good guys is getting intense."

Well I sure hope that we let them know the wages of getting weak in the knees. If they are "leaders", they should be telling their flock what is at stake again and again and again.

WOW! Knock me over with a feather. Did I read the name of the publication right?

After reading this, I really did take a deep breath and am breathing easier.

The media reports make me much more nervous than the real thing does. I should take my own advice and just not read any of it. LOL

Brooks is one of their token conservative columnists. They hired him from the Weekly Standard because they thought he was a rino. Looks like the joke's on them.

Good to see this, there are others on this board who are freaking out over reports of supposed explosions.

Excellent post. Please keep them coming. We are going to have to go on a full scale offensive against this hysteria and panic mongering in the DNC directed "news" media.

Ted Kennedy aint so little.

Without a doubt, this slob of a self-loather, is the biggest coward in the Senate.....

and that's saying something.

The guy is just all wet......again!

"We're going to keep the June 30 handover deadline. "

This is the single most important thing we can do to defeat the terrorists, we MUST keep our promises.

He left out the Iranian component. Both Sadr and the Mahdi are fronts for Iran. The Mahdi is comprised largely of Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

This article is spot on:

Iran fueling Iraqi rebels (Arab media report training, $70 million given monthly).

Amen to that. I've been amazed at how many Chicken Littles I've seen on Free Republic this week. If you don't have the stones for a real War on Terror, change your name to Mary and move to Spain. Leave the fighting to the men.

This is the David Brooks who counterpoints that dirtbag Sheilds on PBS's DNC NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.
