Good News From IraqKURTZ: Welcome back to RELIABLE SOURCES. And... A terrific smackdown of Frank (Who?) Rich in the New York Sun. posted by Ace at 11:26 AM
CommentsCertainly better than the performance of Neal Gabler on the Fox-equivalent (I can't remember the name, but it has Cal Thomas on it as the brilliantined voice of reason), who kept shouting "Iraq is a Disaster! Iraq is a Disaster! Posted by: The Colossus on November 28, 2005 11:34 AM

Too late. The WH is already signing on with the cut-and-run gang. Midterm elections, you know. The official statement from the WH now is that the secret White House plan is "remarkably similar" to the plan put forth by the Democrats, which they then called a cut-and-run plan. The new plan is to highlight whatever they can (from the Green Zone), declare victory, and leave. Whatever. Murtha is probably right that the US presence is doing more harm than good, overall. I posted elsewhere about Allawi claiming Iraq is as bad now regarding abuse as under Saddam. Posted by: tubino on November 28, 2005 12:08 PM
I'd suggest everyone take a look at this: If the chilling remarks made by Allawi are just a political game, then he's doing a heckuva job... but it looks more serious than that. Posted by: tubino on November 28, 2005 12:27 PM
I'd suggest everyone take a look at this: International Abuse worse than under Saddam, says Iraqi leader Worked for me. Ooohh, baby. Posted by: Tubino's Cock on November 28, 2005 12:31 PM
I guess they are using plastic shredders? Rape Rooms? Bombing Villages? No, of course not. Just more stupid shit. Posted by: joeindc44 on November 28, 2005 12:55 PM
Of course Allawi would think it was worse. I'm sure Hermann Goering thought Germany was worse in 1946. Posted by: monkeyboy on November 28, 2005 01:07 PM
Of course Allawi would think it was worse. I'm sure Hermann Goering thought Germany was worse in 1946. Wow. So the PM of Iraq, a CIA-asset supported by the US, is comparable to a high Nazi official. Okay. That would mean you're IN FAVOR of US forces leaving Iraq, right? Posted by: tubino on November 28, 2005 01:21 PM
I guess they are using plastic shredders? Rape Rooms? Bombing Villages? Bombing hospitals. Posted by: tubino on November 28, 2005 01:42 PM
YEAH BABY! JUST LIKE THAT! Posted by: Tubino's Cock on November 28, 2005 01:48 PM
Tubby why do you always throw in some link from a lefty site expecting it will actually influence anyone? Why can't you just accept that not everyone agrees that the best thing to do is leave a place that is going through a difficult transition in a region full of terror loving jihadists? We tried it your way. Iran had the UN and world community watching and now is nuclear. Same with N. Korea. Iraqs borders were NOT secure as can be seen daily with the issues with Syria and to suggest otherwise is a joke. Many believe that Iraq's WMD may yet turn up in Syria or have been smuggled out before the war along with much of Saddam's gold and family. In any event, this war was NOT all about WMD and despite the disingenuous chorus of Bush lied, I still support it. If your contention is that we are causing terrorism by our presence in Iraq, what caused it prior to that? The USS Cole, the first Trade Tower bombings, Kobar Towers, the African Embassys, the second Trade Tower attacks, etc., etc., etc.. None of these happened because we were in Iraq. We are fighting terrorists now in Iraq. If we leave terrorism is not going to extinguish itself. You want to fight them on our shores instead? Why are you unable to admit and aplaud the changes in the middle east since the war began. Libya has come in from the cold and give up their WMD. Israel and the PLO are finally making real strides. Syria is out of Lebanon and on the brink of either reform or imploding. Saudi Arabia is finally taking terrorism seriously and cracking down. There is a long list. None of this happened by accident or chance. It took the US a hell of a lot longer than 2 years to establish our democracy. Do you wish we had given up? I support the troops pulling out just as soon as there is a real Iraqi military capable of defending the country on its own. I do not support them pulling out and letting the country slide into ethnic warfare like Sudan. Wouldn't want another civil war for the UN to ignore.

See, this is the time when the troll starts getting under people's skin. Fuck him. If he believes anything he writes, he should leave this country. Posted by: joeindc44 on November 28, 2005 02:30 PM
Tubby why do you always throw in some link from a lefty site Why do you always characterize anything (here the words of the PM of Iraq) as being from a lefty site? Are you able to read English? Do you understand what a QUOTE is? Are you able to locate England on a map? More to the point, are you able to comprehend that what matters is what the PM of Iraq SAID? Can you deal with that? this war was NOT all about WMD it was also about abuse of Iraqis, use of chem weapons, etc. That's why it matters what the PM of Iraq says. I want a democratic govt in Iraq. I don't think the Cheney admin gives a damn about democracy, or else it is exceedingly incompetent. The US would make better progress in the GWOT by pulling out of Iraq. That Bush has made that a terrible choice should be recognized as such. Posted by: tubino on November 28, 2005 04:12 PM
If he believes anything he writes, he should leave this country. I believe in limited govt power, transparency in govt, and I believe in the US Constitution. I believe those of you who favor making the US a rogue state, without the checks and balances intended by the founders, should consider leaving. Don't let the Patriot Act hit you in the Gitmo on your way out. Posted by: tubino on November 28, 2005 04:21 PM
The US would make better progress in the GWOT by pulling out of Iraq. That Bush has made that a terrible choice should be recognized as such. Oh, baby you know what I like. Gimme some sugar. Posted by: Tubino's Cock on November 28, 2005 04:29 PM
Tubino why are you so interested in what the PM of Iraq says? You sure as hell don't believe a word of what the Pres of the United States says. Or are you unable to understand english? One of the least attractive qualities of the left is your unfounded belief that your views are insightful and the only truth. Your arrogance is only surpassed by your ignorance.

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source" Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held. Basil the Great
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.
Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing. Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult. Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending. (((Dan Hodges))) Nick Lowles
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98. Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years. Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45 Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%. I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens. REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs. Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
![]() That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time. I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
