Al-Ahram is the Mubarak government's official mouthpiece. Usually well-written and wrong.

[goldstategop]

Sounds like the New York Times to me: a day late and the premise is all wrong. Seems to me Al-Ahram is the one that has learned from this war all the wrong lessons.

The most crucial sign of political defeat is the dismal failure of all of the premises on which the theory of war was formulated by right-wing Zionists and neo-conservative circles inside and outside the administration.

Look, Al-Ahram found a nice new word to play with. I wonder where they got it?

[KeyWest]

Sounds like another democrat pres wannabe.

Amusing. Delusional. Except for the assertion that "In an number of ways, the war in Iraq is over" I do believe this author made very nearly one mistake per sentence.

The lesson that should be learned from this and clearly is not, is that Arab threats, hostility, and gassy rhetoric don't amount to a popcorn fart in a force 10 gale, and that statement applies to self-righteous anti-U.S. posturing on the part of certain governments as well.

'The failure of the United States to gain adequate votes within the UN Security Council made this war an illegitimate aggression against a small nation. '

But Egypt can show the UN resolutions authorizing it's wars on Israel, I suppose...

Alert - Strong Anti-U.S. Rhetoric

No stronger than the New York Times or Boston Globe. Heck, not as strong as the San Francisco Chronicle or Z Magazine.

The real strategic shock, which I am confident that US military planners will contemplate for years to come, is that the US was forced to deploy reserve forces in Iraq in order to win this single war against a small and obsolete military power.

Once again, the Arabs take the exactly wrong lesson from events. They never, ever learn.

[Nick Danger]

Blah blah blah... yadda yadda blah

So in other words, we're going to have to do this again.

"Every respectable institution, including Harvard University and the United Nations..."

Well, now there's a matched set of bookends if I ever saw one.

"Right-wing America has already lost the war, writes Mohamed El-Sayed Said, but humanity has yet to win it In a number of ways, the war in Iraq is over. The ultra-right coalition in the United States has effectively lost the battle."

I thought crack was illegal over there.

It really is true -- De Nile isn't just a river in Egypt. It never was, I suppose.
