Thanks for posting the pics for the rest of the readers on this thread. I've been a news junkie since the sixties. I started watching the McNeil Lehrer News Hour when it started on PBS in the seventies. Jim Lehrer fought in the Korean War as a Marine officer, IIRC.

Good lord, has there been a coup at the times? Someone has to be the cynic, might as well be me. The NYT published this on a Saturday, the day with the lowest circulation.
Now if this article was in the Sunday editorial section, then it would have thrown me for a loop.

Brooks is one of their token conservative columnists. They hired him from the Weekly Standard because they thought he was a rino. More likely is that they thought they were hiring David Brock. Joke is still on them.

Sadr is Hezbollah, i.e., Iran. See Belmont Club blog for excellent info from the area press, plus analysis.

In Kut yesterday, CNN reported, local tribesmen, disgusted by Sadr's violence, rose up against his troops.Good Lord...CNN too!!!

The New York Times recently decided that it would be a good idea to start covering "conservatives" because the Times suddenly realized that conservatives comprise more than 100 million Americans, including a majority of the citizens of most states. At that time, the "newspaper" really had no idea who these people were--besides uneducated idiotic churchgoing cowboy hicks from the hinterlands who think we should go around the world killing (gasp) terrorists trying to kill sophisticated New Yorkers--but they sensibly realized that we are too numerous and too politically powerful to ignore. So they hired a "conservative beat" reporter and a token conservative columnist.
This is the conservative columnist. And he may be doing so good a job that his job may soon be in jeopardy.

An immensely satisfying read. I'm astonished that it was published in The New York Times.

I sent him a nice email for being the only one at the slimes who has his feet firmly planted in reality, IMO.

More likely is that they thought they were hiring David Brock. Joke is still on them. Brooks was hired shortly after the Jayson Blair affair. Still LOL.
