Andrew Sullivan links to this post: "When we try to decide whether or not we’ve been victorious, we have to think, for just a second, what the term “victory” means. Victory means the accomplishment of objectives and goals that we had in mind when we initially became involved in a particular conflict. " Tell me again - what were the objectives?Crooks and Liars on Jack Murtha as House Majority Leader: "I know that he's from a very conservative district when it comes to social values, but I was able to talk to him for a few minutes Tuesday and he made it clear that his focus is on Iraq and he'll leave the rest up to Nancy Pelosi." This is truly great - a squeaky wheel right in a position of power.
Meanwhile, Aziz Huq at the Huffington Post: "While Iraq is of unquestionable importance, there's also a pressing need for oversight on domestic security issues: How are our intelligence agencies and military behaving closer to home? So far, too little attention has been paid to this question." C'mon Aziz - don't take their waterboards away from them! They'll play nice, they promise.
Little Green Footballs comments on Washington Post's editorial about Murtha: "They know that Murtha’s moonbat insanity and ABSCAM links are going to cause a major implosion and they’re running scared, with a very carefully-worded editorial."
Let's face it - six months from now we are still going to be in an Iraq that lacks the basics of life.
