It took an Australian blogger, Arthur Chrenkoff, to poke deep down into the story and emerge with the most salient fact of this bloody toll that of the 45 dead, 29 were insurgents themselves. Terrorism is supposed to be one guy indiscriminately killing large numbers of the other side. No terrorist network can survive long if its losing two of its own men for every one of the enemy. Thats the story: a day of hope turned into yet another day of tears for the insurgents. Meaning the AP is already running an enhanced version of events. Go, Steyn, go! Thank's for the Steyn--enhanced with photo!

I'd like to see three versions. A liberal one, a conservative one, and a neutral one. Let them squirm trying to make the one they claim is neutral different from the liberal one.
They would really squirm trying to write actual conservatism. The only "conservatism" they know is straw-man misanthropy.

The legacy media's hatred of freedom is to marveled at. They get it consistently wrong, every time. And most Americans still don't know the real picture in Iraq. Its far from a doom and gloom land about to fall to the jihadis with one final shove.

Good grief, just when you think they can't get any loonier.

The only "conservatism" they know is straw-man misanthropy.Indeed...where would the MSM have been for so many years without David Gergen, their tame lap-dog? How many times did both GHWB and Reagan later regret ever letting this "Big-Tent" cretin get into a position, to claim to be in their administrations...so that he could subsequently abuse both of their reputations?

This is the boiling frog deal. Small steps, a word changed here and there, slanted paragraph, then full fledged propaganda, and we accept lies without question.

He has only published one book as of yet, right?
I think I need to both get the old one, as well as the upcomming book.
I need to read that coloumn, as I am about to start my journalism studies and I need the Master's take.
Cheers.

Thank you for the ping, Pokey.
I prefer not to make nuisance of myself thanking you for every Steyn ping every time, but I would like you to know that I follow them all and do value highly your efforts.
Thank you once again!

Can't someone convince Styen to run for something? What a dreadful prospect! He's is so good in his chosen field, why do you want to deprive us of our regular Steyn fix?!

With a few honorable exceptions, Iraq coverage has been a truly spectacular failure. One day in the future, well dig out the yellowing clips and wonder how America managed to lose every daily battle and yet still win the war.

Can't he be a Senator or President and still write a column? Is that too much to ask?

I've always wanted to see them too.
I grew up reading about them in the Bible, but took some ancient history courses and was even more interested.
A book behind me on my bookshelf right now is Ancient Iraq by Georges Roux.
I highly recommend it!
