Now that they have the werewolf Muqtada on the run, and the Sunnis are humiliating al Qaeda, things ought to be flowing a bit better.<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed your NYT comment.<BR/><BR/>Macmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248016116043347912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-20011472719245886472008-03-30T20:37:00.000-04:002008-03-30T20:37:00.000-04:00John -The NYT is a parody of a newspaper.

The report you cite from Iraq reminds me of the time it had an Israeli policeman looking really mean, billy-club in hand, and a bloodied boy in front of him who was identified in the NYT as an Arab. The message the picture was meant to convey was, mean Israeli/Jewish policeman beating poor defenseless Arab boy. The only problem with the picture was that the boy was Jewish, he had been beaten by an Arab (or Arabs) and the policeman was defending him. Whoops, blew it again, so-sorry, but damage done anyway.<BR/><BR/>John - keep up the great work.<BR/><BR/>Just a short reply to Mac at 6:37 PM - I'm not a political scientist so I can't say what will happen in Iraq, but I am economist, and I think I can see light at the end of the tunnel for the economy's problems brought on by recent financial innovations (and the light is not the oncoming train)- Hopefully we should start seeing a turn-around by June. (Of course, God created economists to make weather forecasters look good, so I could easily be wrong.)<BR/><BR/>Jack in Silver SpringAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-18816884239974417052008-03-30T18:37:00.000-04:002008-03-30T18:37:00.000-04:00For the Democrats to win, Iraq has to be lost, and...For the Democrats to win, Iraq has to be lost, and the economy must fail. The Slimes has a vested interest in these outcomes.<BR/><BR/>Of course, with MoveOn.org and its founder, they aren't as concerned with the Democrats actually winning: they just would like for us to lose.machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248016116043347912noreply@blogger.com
