Hell has frozen over.

No kidding hell has frozen over! This is astounding from the NY Times!

[facedown]

I believe this is just CYA so that the Slimes can dump on W when the action begins. "Oh, we were all for this but Dumbya's doing it all wrong".

[over3Owithabrain]

Uhm, the NY Slimes isn't calling for war, they are merely saying this resolution will help Saddam get the message to disarm, thus allowing for many more moons to drag this out. In fact, this resolution does allow for that -it purposely left out a military option. It's bullcrap and the Times knows it - they like the fact that this charade is dragging out and embarassing Bush. If the resolution had any real teeth and called for war, they would not support it.

Personally, I am rooting for a French veto. Destroying the UN is, IMHO, a very favorable and desirable outcome.

[Cicero]

They are calling on the French to support the resolution, but they are also calling on Bush, implicitly, to wait for the resolution to pass before going to war. So this is partly cover-your-ass, and it's partly more delaying tactics.

What's to stop the Security Council from taking their time debating? And what's to stop people from then demanding a third resolution before we act?

Duplicitous.

[HumanaeVitae]

I hope the "conservative media" (yeah right) doesn't let the NYT get off scott free on this humiliating climbdown on Iraq--especially after they led the charge against military action.

[conservativecorner]

BUMP!!

[Calpublican]

Will wonders, as they say, never cease.

With the recent nonsense and nonthinking emanating from the Left, it's good to see that the NYT editorial staff, at least in part, is doing some clear, logical thinking on this subject.

The only explanation is alien abduction. Where's my tin foil?

Rut Roah.

There's been a disturbance in The Force.

Actually, the NYT has probably concluded that "resistance is futile" at this point--they don't want to be on the losing side of this argument when Bush whips Sodomite Hussein's @ss. They've apparently decided to do a Rosie Perez "home stretch sprint" at the Boston Marathon (I think that was her name---you know, the chick who rode a cab for most of the Boston Marathon, then got out and ran the last quarter mile & claimed victory? ROTFLOL!)

[KC_Conspirator]

I believe they support this because they know France will veto it and it will never be passed.

Re: Hell has frozen over.

Yep, it does seem strange when the NY Times does anything right. Oh well, I'm Deep in the Heart of Texas and its 26 degrees right now, so...

[CyberAnt]

Exactly!!

The only reason I can account for this is that Rush (and an assorted group of others), have been taking the NYT apart. Even Wash Post has been onboard for some time with the war. If the times wants to sell papers ...??

Happened yesterday when Egypt cut the Palestinians out of the will.
