#1 I would consider congratulating the NYT for this glimmer of insight, but...

The hypocrisy turns it into a tasteless joke.

Without the Bush Doctrine, and Bush behind it doing when others have only talked, there would not be this moment, there would be no uplifting "question" nor soft power to bestow -- there would be no story. Fuck off, NYT, you're about 3 years late getting it, and you've only grasped one aspect.

You've fought this President from Day One, using your once considerable reputation to bear to undermine him at every turn - and been proven vacuous and disingenuous. Justly, your influence declines in tandem with your credibility. You have no place in this story - even reporting it is above your station - for everything good in this situation occurred in spite of you. You have no right to trumpet the numerous positives that will result from any of the Bush Administration's achievements, and they will be many - seeds have been planted that will bear fruit for decades. You deserve no association with their successes.

You deserve derision for partisanship, your anti-American poison, your deranged owner and editorial staff's terminal fascination with sociofascist multiculturalism, and your highly successful effort to permanently subvert and bring shame to journalism. That is your primary success - and will be your epitaph.

#3 Er, .com: this is David Brooks, not some liberal-come-lately.

#4 Yeah, I know. David works for the enemy. He should put on his life vest or jump.

That is the truth. The best source of inspiration.

#7 Incidentally, why here? What's with the 'Page 0' business? And how come every popup page claims to be from 'Page 1'?

#9 Things must be going very well indeed. Even Hillary is talking about about the success in Iraq. Success has many fathers while failure is a orphan. We will continue to see rational liberals 'walking it back'. Unfortunately, the moonbats will never see the truth.

#12 Great rant, .com! What is really happening is that people like Hillary and some at the NYT are seeing the trend because they can play "follow the dots" and they have enough brains to see the trend curve. So they jump aboard the bandwagon that the rest of us have been powering with blood, sweat, and tears and think that they will get a free ride. They still consider that the public are a bunch of idiots. They still have the same agenda, but they realize that the Far Left is committing political suicide.
