But the losers can bribe the politicians (er, i mean donate money to their re-election campaigns) so they can get tax breaks, the federal gov’t to take over their pension funding and other corporate welfare.

Ahhhh, America.

Great article. This president would probably accuse hs own parents of treason if Karl Rove felt there was an advantage to so doing.

“The left leaning media” = Mother Jones Magazine.
Which, by the way, was right when they said this war would be a disaster.

Secondly, this Administration can not be trusted.

Excuse me, I’m back.
It can’t be trusted to tell the truth about Iraq either.
Every time someone wants to support this debacle they talk about how time consuming and expensive it is to win this war.

They obviously forget the “6 weeks, or 6 months, certainly not 6 years” and the “we won’t need more than $1.5B to reconstruct Iraq” talking points.

How many times do people need to be told to never trust authority? They do what is in THEIR best interest, not yours.

Yup and we’re in one big time. I listened to Bush’s speech. He’s committed and can’t give proper weight to the reality so he spins it to the positive just like you do. Reality is much harsher than supporters dare to admit.

RALPH PETERS IN BAGHDAD [John Derbyshire]

Ralph Peters, if you read closely, was riding around Baghdad in a Humvee. Security conditions in the city would not have permmitted him to stroll around on his own. That is three years into the occupation.

It’s nice that the Baghdadis are driving their cars, running their businesses, and going to their jobs. Perhaps, after one year or two years, they got tired of sitting at home doing nothing. This tells us nothing about the future of Iraq.

Of course most Iraqis would like to live normal lives, and do not wish to be blown up. The same, I am sure, was true of most Russians in 1916, or most Germans in 1932, or most Iranians in 1978. This is facile stuff. Getting from what most people want, to a political order that will provide it, is some trick, as the history of the human race surely demonstrates. Can the Iraqis pull it off? Can we pull it off for them? Those are the issues.

Yes, I know, Rummy said it’s going to be “a long, hard slog.” But — three years into the occupation, and we still haven’t secured the capital city? For goodness’ sake.

I find Peters’ columns increasingly irritating.

“Media bias just might turn the future of Iraq into a disaster that will reverberate for decades.”

“As vile as Richard Nixon was, I’m no longer certain that Woodward and Bernstein did our country a service.”

Oh Woody…I’m so afraid of subjecting myself to opposing opinion. I’m a…..(drum roll)….LIBERAL ! In the face of the towering intellect, moral courage and overpowering argument of REAL MEN like RALPH PETERS (remember – “The New Glory: Expanding America’s Global Supremacy” is coming soon to your local bookstores) my world might just collapse. Ooooohhhh….scary. Now let me crawl back in my black hole and wait for this week’s copy of The Progressive to arrive.

Why don’t you apologize to me now for that comment?

Sometimes, Woody, you’re just beneath contempt. I try to elevate the discourse, but you bring it back down to the gutter.

And if you have any doubts the guy who’ll be on book tour soon with “The New Glory: Expanding America’s Global Supremacy” is a right-wing partisan ideologue with a rather overt agenda against the press – or anyone who questions the imperial dreams of the crazed neocons, not to mention their competence at pulling it all off – read this:

I cite these Peters articles and a single response because no liberal in their right mind has anything to fear from more public exposure of the Ralph Peters of the world to the sunlight.

Oh there’s more…

Here’s Peters on the “liberal-scared-of-right-wing-opinion” Newshour defending the practice of paying to have pro-American stories or “the-war’s-going-great” stories planted in the Iraqi press. Yeah. You can’t trust the “MSM”. Ralph-fucking-Peters to the rescue…riding on a military convoy. Give me a break…

Myths of Iraq – 03/14/2006
By Ralph Peters (Ralph Peters is a retired U.S. Army officer and the author of 20 books)
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2006/03/myths_of_iraq.html

While there are and have been any number of courageous, ethical journalists reporting from Iraq, others know little more of the reality of the streets than you do. They report what they are told by others, not what they have seen themselves. The result is a distorted, unfair and disheartening picture of a country struggling to rise above its miserable history.

It’s better to read the complete article. Do you really still believe that the MSM has presented a full and accurate picture of our mission in Iraq? I can hardly wait to see how they handle Iran.
