#2 He should be against the provincial elections?

I for one, am glad its now politically correct to cheer progress in Iraq.

#3 Well then you, for one, LH, don't understand much about politics or policy. Or the lightweights and worse now in charge. They won't initiate needed policies, they won't sustain them against unwarranted opposition, and by flip-flopping on all sorts of crucial matters without paying a price they confirm the robustness of the orwellian inversion of information that brought them to power.

We're talking here about their need to instantly jettison ridiculous positions that materially damaged the national interest for years - because of their fear of something going wrong. Being "politically correct" is to be mindless and misinformed, not to mention obsessively self-righteous in embrace of the accepted bigotries. You welcome what is a temporary and superficial boost to the atmospherics, when the threat to the substance is undiminished, and will only grow so long as facts are not faced honestly.

#4 LH, it'll be difficult to credit the mirrorball until he and his minions cut out the prefatory throat-clearings about the evils of the prior administration. Like Cordesman's crap today about Afghanistan, it seems as if they can't address policy questions any more without a ritual denunciation of prior practice - even if the policy to be mooted is just a continuation of the prior policy.
