SShhhh. Other liberal papers like the AJC might be forced into reporting this if it gets out that the nyt did it. :)
Damn! It must be going pretty damn good if the fishwrapper is reporting it.
If a Democrat is elected in 2008, as the NYT hopes, that Democratic President will have to face the grownup reality that we cannot simply leave Iraq on January 22, 2009.
The NYT is saying nowthat the Iraq can be won, so they can credibly claim that a Democrat actually won the war at some point in the future.
Spin: "After years of Republican mismanagement and failure, a progressive administration has figured out a way to win this war and bring our troops back home."
Hmmm. I wonder what their ulterior motive is. It can’t just be to tell the truth.
They’re (libs) prepping the political battlefield.
They know the facts in Iraq have not/never did support their bashing of Bush...so...they are laying the groundwork for a democratic presidential candidate who supported the war (before she didnt) to run...geeee...I wonder who that was...
We could have won this thing outright in about 2 years, maybe less, had our guys not been forced to fight with one hand tied behind their backs. I blame that directly on GWB.
But nobody in the White House gets this. And I mean nobody.
Well something is up in the MSM.The good news is maybe our troops can finish their mission. And Democrats are not operating out of a vacuum. They have intell or something that tells them the surge is working and they are CYA move here. Time will tell.
We have to get the public ready for the victory which is inevitable once the Democrats control the war.
60 second ad of the Democrats stating how the war is lost, interspersed with media headlines the war is lost.
End of commercial “Democrats and the Media are losers.”
then
“Republicans were for winning, before winning was cool”
Yeah, but it isn’t clear if “we” refers to Al-Qaeda or the U.S. Since it’s the NYT it’s safest to assume the former.
Dems know if they win the White House they are going to inherit this war, and won’t be able to play politics of blaming the republicans for the fact they aren’t withdrawing...
So now the spin will be, war is going better.... why we can’t leave etc etc...
Until election day, if an R wins the spin will go right back to we can’t win... if its a D, then well its obvious we are winning can’t quit now.
Amazing the group that has ZERO credibility at all can declare an adminstration has none....
Funny, seems to me the previous administration bald face lied to the american people.. not political rhetoric but bald face lied ... and you seemed to think they had credibility.
The MSM by and large is an abject joke.
The liberals play down the war, accept it is going well enough to be in the bag, then focus the American people on domestic issues.
War = Republican President in 08
Domestic Agenda = Democrat President in 08
Twilight Zone episode perhaps???....
I’m glad Bush isn’t repeating the disastrous mistakes Truman made.
In 1945, the US freed South Korea from Japan.
In 1949, President Truman withdrew our troops from S. Korea.
In 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea and occupied much of the country.
In 1950, Truman sent US troops BACK to fight in Korea. Truman told the American people, via a radio address, that the US roops were going to fight a police action against bandits.
From June 1950 to January 1953, (the remaining 30 months of Truman’s presidency) 30,000 Americans died in Korea and the severest censorship in memory was imposed on US correspondence out of Korea.
*****The Korean War would not have taken place if Truman had not withdrawn our troops from South Korea. *****
We should have maintained a strong presence in South Korea, just as we did in Germany and Japan.
We should maintain a strong presence in Iraq.
The libs know that serious progress is being made and that Gen. Petraeus will be reporting results that cannot be dismissed.
Staying on the wrong side of this will turn the public against them and they’ll have no out from being branded as the losers they are.
They realized they couldn't swim against the tide of positive news out of Iraq and public support of Bush by Brown.
It’s a start. Now how about an apology to the Commander-in-Chief for the shameless pummeling they gave him in the press over the last four years. How about a hat-in-hand, “you-were-absolutely-right” apology. . . .
I’ll wait.
The NYT did a poll and found out more people than ever supported the original invasion. They couldn’t believe the results and took the same poll again. Same results.
When they start openly trashing Hillery, we’ll know something is up.
Not really, the Times is just hedging its bet.
