For your information, this is the new incoming editorial page editor at the Slimes, whose views were shared with Brian Lamb of C-Span and briefly shown on Drudge this week. Notice how educated he sounds .... /not!. Rest easy, I think their descension continues:
Incoming NYT Ed Page Editor Says 'Its Becoming Likely' Paper Will Call for Troop Withdrawal from Iraq Fri Dec 15 2006 17:29:02 ET
Incoming editorial page editor of the NYT says "its becoming more likely" that the paper will call for the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, in an interview today with C-SPAN's Brian Lamb for "Q & A", airing Sunday at 8/11 p.m. ET. Andrew Rosenthal assumes the post Jan 1. A link to the video clip is at the end.
Lamb: Do you think you'll eventually call for us to get out of Iraq?
Andrew Rosenthal- Wow, should I answer that question?
Lamb - Absolutely.
Rosenthal- I think its becoming more likely.
I mean I don' t know what George Bush is going to say. We've been going through this very odd spectacle this week of all these meetings and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. We actually wrote about it this week.
I mean, are we really supposed to believe he just started thinking about it this week? What are these meetings about? Are we supposed to believe the Army just started thinking about it this week? I mean its crazy. It has to be true that he's just going through this for some crazy public relations stunt.
It depends on what he says - if he comes up with a plan that could lead in some reasonable period of time to an orderly withdraw than that's one thing.
If he sticks to these fictions about achieving victory and all the other things that he keep talking about then we may have to change.
It really does depend, I mean, we're going to withdraw our troops from Iraq and we're going to do that without initiating a fully functioning government that serves as a beacon of hope for the Middle east.
I mean its interesting and very instructive to go back and look at last year's strategy for success in Iraq strategy included: defeating terrorists, establishing full democracy in Iraq, an independent army, and an Iraq that is part of the international economic system, I don't know what that means.
Are they supposed to join the IMF or the WTO I don' t know what the heck that means.
And this kind of burgeoning democracy throughout the Middle East well none of that 's going to happen, I think that's pretty clear - at least not in George Bush's timeframe.

And, to remind you of the awesomeness of our young men and women who wear the uniform of the United States of America, defending freedom, humanity and the civilized world and protecting US from the scourge of diabolical beasts who seek domination and our destruction, please .. I'm asking you .. grab a tissue and please read about
Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class John Dragneff and Hospital Corpsman Christopher Anderson,
and say a prayer of protection and thanks for the blessing of such decent and brave young patriots.
Lastly, I want to wish you all a A Very Merry Christmas and Here, too and all the best in 2007. This thread and all it's brilliant interpretations is a MUST SEE. Thank you for what you all contribute. God bless you all.
LOL! Exactly...and troll the waters with bottles of Jack Daniels as bait!
*Well, aren't you a breath of patriotism!* No I'm not.
Don't you ever go to the speeches of these guys on the college campi? Haven't you ever heard EJ Dionne on the podium laugh himself silly over the Westboro Funeral protesters? You need to acquaint yourself with the college speaking circuit AND GO TO SOME OF THEM.
The deaths of our sons, daughter, husbands, wives, siblings is a point of comedy for "policymakers," an example of how the stupidos in flyover country are suckered by the patriotism angle every time. How many of EJ's or G Snivelopoulos's children are going? There's your answer.
Sec Def MacNamara published a book in the middle 90s about his role in the VietNam war. In a television interview, Mac said he knew the war was unwinnable from the beginning, he did it because it was fun. When confronted about the American dead, his response was it wasn't my children. When confronted about the tens of million dead Viets, he waved his hand indismissal. The person who confronted Mac was Pat Buchanan, and it's the real reason some here hate him.
You can support Bush to the bitter end, but not with my children.
I'm using clear glass custard bowls. Water or vinegar isn't really needed either. Thanks for the link though, I'm trying different ways. It's almost embarrassing because it's so easy. I should have tried this years ago. Too little water also makes the whites blow up because it boils so quickly.
As a soldier myself...you disgust me.
I was not an aggressor to anyone, I never posted to that aggressive poster. I merely defended myself afterward.
Yet you suggest "medical help" for me.
Get real. I thought better of you.

Why are you even on this forum?
Just exactly how I feel about my country.
The bitter politcial warfare was there from the beginning. It did not start with the Clintons. In fact it was the country club loser strife-avoiding poltical ethos of the Republican Party in the twentieth century that "set us up the bomb" for the Clintonacy. That "peaceable" ethos almost kept Reagan from ever being elected -- he was an anomaly, he fought back.
Probably because he had been a union president (SAG, iirc) and knew the kind of enemy he was fighting and just how dirty and bitter a fight they will, and are happy to, engage in. Just as young George Washington had learned to fight in the two wildernesses -- one within the tribal and European intrigues in the western frontier, and two within the wrestling-pit, cock-fight, distilled-spirit-driven county politcs of colonial Virginia.
And Reagan knew, just as the Patriarch Washington did, that you fight back hard, no quarter given, with a smile on your face and an amiable humor, never present a forlorn or bitter face in public. Never *sigh* -- except as in theater, for example ""Sigh* There you go again!"
I see you are a white feather 'patriot'
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1754360/posts is helpful if you ever want to consider it.
I saw part of that. That jerk, Pascrell told Burton at least twice, "You are the enemy within."
Made me want to throw something at him.
God forbid! Close that Rat infested "brother in law" works program and just outsource the job to FedEx. It'll work much better and UPS will be waiting in the wings to compete if FedEx doesn't keep costs down.
Wow...I'm just amazed that a Libtard finally identified someone they actually feel is an "enemy".
Not surprised at who they picked though.
