Mark Steyn: Movers and shakers have moved on to the next 'disaster'

"MBITRW" will find its way into the OED and "Start the jihad without me!" is destined for Bartlett's Quotations. Priceless!

The only real quagmire is the mush inside every leftist's head. And their demented thought process will never be able to extricate itself from it.

[formercalifornian]

the only ones stuck in a quagmire are the pathetic journalists

lol

The only North American politician with a personal stake in any of this is not Bush, Cheney or any of their Texan oilpatch pals, but the Prime Minister of Canada, whose daughter is married to TotalFinaElf's biggest shareholder.

This is just more undeniable proof that all these leaders opposed to the war are opposed solely because of their corrupt self-interest, NOT because they are true pacifists who don't want to see people die. Criminals like Chirac, Schroeder, Chretien, et al have no problem seeing thousands of poor Iraqis die, as long as their dirty financial deals are protected. These "men" are among the most corrupt politicians who have ever crawled out of the slime. The irony is that millions of people all over the planet revere them as moral giants. But that's because those millions of people are just as corrupt and morally bankrupt as the trash they adore.

My favorite Canadian hits another one out of the park. One can only fantasize about the children he and Ann Coulter would produce.

Instead, horrible things will turn up, but will never be "conclusive" enough for the French, who've got all the receipts anyway.

Priceless!

We've just ened a 12 year quagmire called Northern/Southern Watch.

Obviously, it would be preferable if the late Saddam's future media appearances were confined to guest-hosting Good Morning, Hell! with Osama. But if he's reduced to bin Laden's current schedule - mailing in bi-monthly audio cassettes of Islamist boilerplate - what's the difference? ...

After all, an America that feels no need to bother faking justifications for invasion would be far more alarming to most Europeans.

Brutal pragmatism ... the American way. Steyn is the most prolific and brilliant political writer.

Thanks!

The left never gets anything right. and they never pay the price for getting everything wrong.

That will change after Rupert Murdoch buys up the last of the media outlets in North America and the "sackings" begin.

"Looting is always unsavoury. Let's hope the Americans don't pilfer the oil" (Brenda Linane, Age of Melbourne, April 11).

This is as old as UBL calling for another jihad.

[SkyPilot]

As a coherent jurisdiction, it makes more sense than, say, Belgium.

Worth the price of admission right there.

Here are the responses to next week's talking points in offices, faculty lounges, and other venues where lefties 'still have their doubts.'

Mark Steyn is as brilliant as usual.

Steyn bump...
