I guess it is the old saying that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

He’s the token conservative.

Yes, especially The Oregonian. David Reinhard is the only conservative voice there.

It wouldn’t fit TIME’s political agenda.

Times Man Of The Year for 1938 was Adolph Hitler, and for 1939 it was Joseph Stalin. While most of the time “good” people get the nod, it seems this year they again chose a bad guy. I think people too often think the MOY is an honor, but that ain’t necessarily so.

Time magazine should not be used for toilet paper, you may catch a STD from it and never use it to start a fire or burn, you will choke from toxic fumes in the smoke.

Seems like a majority of the country thinks Petraeus should have been Person of the Year. If Time had any scruples (and we know they don’t), they’d rethink their decision and make it right.

Anyone who travels ten miles out of Portland.
OR is not just the Peoples Republic of Portland, just like WA isnt the enclave of Seattle, etc...

“... resilient population has begun to believe that the momentum for peace may be sustainable, if it is left up to ordinary citizens.”
I believe this sentence is what the surge was all about.

I agree and believe that’s been the strategy of Gen. Petraeus for the last several years. It started with his brilliant handling of the problems in Mosul.

After more than 30 years of Saddam’s horrible rule over them .. it would naturally take a little time to convince “the people of Iraq” that it was THEIR country and they would have to stand up and participate in governing it, in order to restore the country to “the people”.
It seems Petreaus understood this better than anyone else.

If Time would have made Gen. David Petraeus their man of the year, half of their subsribers would have canceled.
