Are we still allowed to call the French "Surrender Monkeys" when we seem to be following their lead?

[Chi-townChief]

At least the rats are happy.

Yawn the Wash Compost trying a pathetic attempt to stop nancy pelosi's implosion.

I've yet to see the WaPo refer to Hussein as "the disgraced" Saddam Hussein. I guess they are more sensitive to the feelings of murderous, Iraqi dictators than they are to American conservatives.

Adelman professes to be a thinker - In reality, he's a stinker.

[digger48]

Do I smell a book deal coming? Looks like Adelman is trolling for some interviews on the morning shows.

[shrinkermd]

What they are claiming as a "defeat" is merely a serious effort by those losing power--the Sunnis--to hang on or return to power. They do this by suicide bombers killing civilians lined up for work, IED's on our soldiers and other means of dispiriting the civilian population both in Iraq and in the US.

The RATS want defeat little understanding the consequences there and here. Our enemies are formidable and especially those within "our gates."

[Dont Mention the War]

All I had to see was the headline, and I said to myself, "Gotta be either the NYT or the Washington Post."

[Lancey Howard]

I have been reading, ad nauseum, about all these "insiders" who have joined the lamestream scumbag newsrooms and the Democrats in criticiizing the conduct of the Iraq war, and I am still waiting for one report - - just one - - which, finally, includes a sentence that begins with, "What we should have done is....", or, "The way to win this thing is to....".

I give up. It ain't happening. Everybody's a critic, but nobody has any ideas.
This Washington Post story is just the same old same old.....

[Brad from Tennessee]

[. . .a former aide's book accusing the White House of moral hypocrisy and with Vanity Fair quoting Adelman, Richard N. Perle and other neoconservatives assailing White House leadership of the war.]

The former Bush aide was exposed as a Clinton agent-provacatur and those misquoted in the Vanity Fair article have denounced it as fictitious, pre-election propaganda. The above article is post-election, partisan propaganda.

[muawiyah]

If the Washington Post says something, don't believe it.

Their main printing plant is within walking distance of 5 mosques, one of which provided extensive services to the AlQaida ground control team that supported the two hijackings out of Dulles.

They speak out of fear, as well they should, and if we're all smart once we get rid of the Islamofascist threat we'll get rid of the "posties".

[seppel]

Sounds more like Adelman is the problem. At the least he's an opportunist.

[HelloooClareece]

I still don't see how Iraq is the quagmire everyone says it is. I actually think that it is going pretty well.

Countries are having second-thoughts about supporting terrorists due to the chaos in Baghdad and our military, most importantly our National Guard, have gotten a great education on how to fight terrorist scum in large cities and small. Oh yeah, and a dictator is soon to be hanged.

If that's a quagmire give me some more of that.

[ex-snook]

Et tu Neocons, as they jump madly from the sinking ship they built and swim quickly to suck up to the winning Democrats. There they will peddle themselves as Neolibs, the conservative shtick no more.

[RJL]

From the Washington Post, it could be true.

[Cacique]

I admire the never say die, stick to it leadership of the POTUS concerning IRAQ. I have been on his side from the beginning. That being said there needs to be a CHANGE in tactics on the ground vis a vie Mookie and his boys and the foreign invaders.

We have to annihilate the militas on both sides and the terrorists irregardless of the collateral damage or tell Maliki he no longer has our confidence and unless he allows us to DO WHATEVER it takes to put down Mookie and the insurgency we will consider his refusal an invitation to DEPART IRAQ.

We won the war but the duly elected Iraq Government has lost the peace.

My piece on these "Neo Culpas" will appear in the New York Sun tomorrow.
