And I think it is not exactly helpful to give the other side ammunition. Peggy Noonan saying this is far different from someone on the left; we now get to hear leftists say "even Peggy Noonan disagrees."
Well, I don't agree with Peggy, and I don't appreciate either her opinion or her timing.
Once again I will point out, she chose to say that some people couldn't self-govern on the very week of the Iraqi elections. Pfui.
President Bush's interview with Brian Lamb is posted on cspan's website. He is explaining what his intentions were behind his Inaugural. A blend of realism and idealism.
"she chose to say that some people couldn't self-govern on the very week of the Iraqi elections."
Do you think her comment will suppress/encourage turnout? I wonder if the Iraqi's even follow this kinda stuff - and if so, wouldn't their angst be more focused on Ted Kennedy's comments that Noonans?
I'm still trying to see where Noonan's comments hurt Bush or the Iraqi's.
