You should take an acknowledgement from the New York Times that the election had a positive effect (just like Bush said it would) and declare victory. Carping about the editorial bent of the Times will only result in ulcers.

I will carp all I friggin' want to, until I've got gefilte fish coming out my ears. IMO this was an attempt to downplay the triumph of the elections. And I am SICK of the media over-reporting the negatives in Iraq and downplaying the positives.

You wanna carp about something? Carp about this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1337218/posts

Then come back and read the NYT piece. Big difference, but maybe you won't see it.
