March
Sometimes it's hard to believe it's America in 2007 and our political discourse is still so moronic.
Bush/Cheney assert that the Brits withdrawing their troops is a sign of success in Iraq, but warn that any withdrawal of American troops will only aid, abet, and motivate "the terrorists."
How to reporters hear these statements and not have their minds blown by the inconsistencies and contradictions?
In the meantime, Paul Waldman has left Gadflyer and started his own blog. He just addressed a topic dear to my heart: Supporting the troops and supporting an incompetent, arrogant president are very, very different birds. Please check it out.
Paul's indignation matches my own, and I really hope his line of thinking percolates up through our societal discourse. Right now, the inanity of the outrage on this topic (with Obama and McCain using the word "wasted") is numbing me.
