The NYT, like CBS, is not a credible news source.

Let the roaches in. We aren't the soviet union and Iraq is easier terrain than afganistan.
To: untenured
Let's see, we take over two countries in less than two years, losing less than 2000 troops in the process, and have elections in both within 4 years of the event precipitating those invasions, and this is worse than the Russian Afghani quagmire...how?
To: bahblahbah
ugh, another NYT article, why bother, and who cares what the terrorists think...with a kill rate of 100 to 1, I'm sure our troops would enjoy shooting more ducks.
To: untenured
How about a NYT story: "What The Establishment Media Has In Mind"?

When I read the authors' credits at the end of the article, and realized that one of them was a "counter-terrorism expert" during the Clinton regime. That description, in itself, is quite a contradiction. Did anyone know Clintoon had counter-terrorism experts on his staff? Who would have known? There was certainly no indication.

Apparently some towns/cities in W IRaq may have to be flattened to make the case. If not now then it will have to be done later in Pakistan.
It's unfortunate, but will likely have to be done.

they are ALL for John F Kerry
Ever since the Oil for Food..Food for Money...money for Mr. Koffi skim scam has been shut down...the UN has been waiting to feed lies to America's main stream media in hopes of a John F Kerry presidency
Koffi Annan wants JF Kerry
Arafat and the PLO want JF Kerry
Osama, Fidel, Al Qaida, HAMAS, The KLA, terrorists everywhere want John F Kerry for Prez
ABCCBSNBSMSNBCPUBLICRADIOTELEVISION want Kerry
Hollywood and the ACLU wants a JF Kerry presidency...
Communists everywhere want JF Kerry for president...
All of America's enemies... foreign and domestic want JF Kerry for president....
Like hungry wolves gathered around anticipating an unprotected flock they wait for America and her guard dog to replaced by a W.I.M.P. ....a weak ineffective malingering poodle

This can continue until we elect to use the "great equalizers" we have at our disposal; and when, necessarily, collateral damage and civilian casualties become secondary to victory, just as it has been in every war in which we have been on the winnng side. Otherwise the damp dreams of the jihadists will come true.

I did not read the whole article, because I am sick and tired of "counter-terror" experts" with no more information than we have...no access to top secret info... lambast the President decisions that involve much more than tactics. Mr. Bush is balancing WAR with foreign relations while battling the most self-serving liar in the history of politics. In my opinion, it is our fault for not slapping the pi$$ out of these Baffoons when we pass them in the street.
This guy may be the best tactician in this world, but the bottom line is... he don't know $h1t without battlefield Intel.
To: bahblahbah
I like the analogy: we turned Iraq into a 'roach-motel' for jihadists.

"Daniel Benjamin, a director for counterterrorism on the National Security Council staff under President Bill Clinton..." Two words: Jamie Gorelick.
Well, better add a few more: China, campaign cash, missile technoogy, wall of separation, coverup. Clinton & Democrat Party treason comes back to haunt us.
To: untenured
The New York Times was instrumental in creating this terrorism disaster by covering up and carrying the water for the sleazebag Bill Clinton and his treasonous Democrat Party. Now they innocently sit back and whine and try to blame others. It's not going to work. People are paying attention.

Radicals who were downcast and perplexed in 2002 about the rapid defeat of the Taliban in Afghanistan now feel exuberant about the global situation and, above all, the events in Iraq.
i guess they like getting their butts kicked closer to home in stead of traveling to america to carry on acts of terror and getting caught

Yup, Bush was left with the job of cleaning up the mess created by Bill Clinton and the Democrats and their partners in crime, the MSM. It isn't going to be easy, won't be quick, but it will be done. The NYT and their leftist constituency doesn't have the guts to tackle evil head on or to see it through. To hell with them.
