Much of it deserves a barf alert, but if this sort of thing can be on an opinion page at the University of Texas at Austin, where next? The New York Times?

Another TU graduate who seems to have made it through without losing his common sense. Guy has a great music video he put together in Mosul.

Another reason to root for USC.

Hey, I think the Times has already been saying this stuff for a couple of years........

Dispassionate logical thought.

I thought that this was impossible for liberals to accomplish.

[Ninian Dryhope]

"Dispassionate logical thought."

That will always lead one to the conservative position.

USC will lose. Trojans break under pressure.

"I think the Times has already been saying this stuff for a couple of years"

They've been saying that going to Iraq was the right thing to do? And by the way, USC has a snowball's chance in hell, but that's another thread.

Is USC less politically correct than t.u.?

Another reason to root for UT.......

I really don't care.

"Indeed, millions of Americans are having just the opposite change of heart, as polling data clearly demonstrates."

If the recent vote to cut-and-run is an accurate reflection of our representatives' constituency, these polls are "clearly" flawed.

Remember the Churchill quote:
"He who is not a liberal when he is 20 has not heart. He who is not a conservative when he is 30 has no brain.

If you can't see through push-polling, you need to start analyzing with your brain instead of being led astray by your heart.

No, and the article doesn't say that.....it gives the same old crap talking points, and then says, deal with it we're there.

That's the only thing the Times hasn't said before.

As to USC.....you guys all said you would wipe Michigan off the map last year too.....so good luck......

No, reality has not remotely set in. Only when such dweebs realize that the Iraqi people are free because their president is courageous and defied their leftist groupthink nonsense, will reality begin to dawn. Being for the outcome but not for having brought it about, is incoherent gibberish.

[Flightdeck]

Well I agree, but in Austin you take what you can get.

In reality, Bush's half-hearted appeal to the Security Council was a formality, and an utterly transparent attempt to hush the cries of unilateralism emanating from the political left.

Well, not exactly, or at least if it was it went on for 14 interminable months, during which we heard very little from the left in the way of bringing the UN into the game. That, in fact, was the transparent partisan failure, and if the UN is weakened by this it is at least in part because the left preferred that in order to weaken Bush's administration as well.

Nevertheless, the young fellow is seeing the sovereignty issue with a clarity I'd wish on a whole lot of his elders. My congratulations to him.

What's his position on Syria and Iran?

"I think the kid gets it!"

Yeah, but he's got a long way to go.

You can tell by his writing that liberalism disease is oozing out of his pores.

50 years from now--there may or may not be a George Bush Elementary School in Iraq, but there should the hell won't be a John Kerry Elementary School. W's foreign policy will look better and better with the passage of time.
