Sad end to anti-war effort ( well...its an editorial from the Berkshires...just gives me tears )

Hillary Clinton, most notably, continues to triangulate a position that comes down on all sides of the Iraq War.

Yup. John Kerry remix.

[paudio]

the death toll has dropped primarily because there are fewer Iraqis left to kill.

LOL... this is probably the lamest argument I've ever heard...

[M Kehoe]

I'm surprised that they left this in...

While the persistent effort of American troops has contributed to a decline in violence, the death toll has dropped primarily because there are fewer Iraqis left to kill.

Usually, the stupid stuff is edited.

When the Democrats took over in Congress in January they tried without success to cut funding for the war or tie funding to a firm withdrawal date.

They placed their priorities elsewhere in an aggressive attempt in maintaining an ~13% approval rating.

It's taken up a lot of their time. /snicker

Hitlery...A true modern day Democrat politician!

[Moonman62]

Liberals are frigging retarded.

And hippies smell. That's all I could think about while reading the article.

[Moonman62]

Intimidated by General Petraeus' appearance before them

It must have been that "Betray Us" ad that got to them.

[Dominnae]

I think they, the residents themselves, refer to it as "Happy Valley".

Well as a resident myself, I can tell you that the
conservatives among us (yes we do have some here!)
We don't call it "happy valley".. we call it many,
many things, but not "happy valley".

I have found actually, that many of the lib "happy pill"
people aren't natives. They're transplanted Noo Yawkus
with Land Rovers and "Impeach Bush" stickers, who move
to the sticks, then complain endlessly about the noise
the crickets make in the evenings, and the deer who poop
on their lawns, and the bears who steal their garbage cans.

They're called, by the way -- "Massholes"

Yeah and Great Barrington has their "BerkShare notes"
currency, but they're kinda goofy over there. They're
still trying to seceed from the U.S., too.

[SaxxonWoods]

They reject our reality and substitute their own!

[pabianice]

[Theresawithanh]

It is pretty lame. It ranks right up there with the reports of less work for ambulance drivers and those who take care of the dead.

[RobbyS]

Well, the Iraqis are not so deluded. They is why they are quickly returning to the country.

Got a kid to donate? Whos’? Got a nation to donate? Which?

"While the persistent effort of American troops has contributed to a decline in violence, the death toll has dropped primarily because there are fewer Iraqis left to kill. Neighborhoods have been ethnically cleansed of minority Shiites or Sunnis,..."

I am starting to see many articles from the left using this new mantra in order to not give credit to Bush and our Armed Forces for the successful surge. Even Obama used it. This must have gone out in a DNC memo.

Absolutely disgusting the hate these people have for their own country and patriotic countrymen!

[Atchafalaya]

...smells like Victory.

[norwaypinesavage]

What happens if you win the war before you surrender. Does the surrender count?

[Yardstick]

The notion that the population of Iraq has been thinned to the point where there’s nary a target left is possible only to someone who is living in a fantasy world.

And what happens to this notion if violence picks up again? The lefties will abandon it in a second because it's nothing more than a disposable argument du jour.

[VeniVidiVici]

Surprisingly upbeat for a newspaper from Massachusetts.

[purpleraine]

I guess we could save a lot of money by leaving them all there, discharge all of them, and wish them well. Better yet, lets disband the military and convert all the budget to social programs.
