'Who lost Iraq? The media, of course'
Dan is spot on about those blaming the media for what's happening in Iraq. It's now abundantly clear the national media was accurately reporting, for the most part, the unfolding tragedy in Iraq, while the administration and its cheerleaders were largely in denial about the unfolding tragedy in Iraq. Now they're looking for scapegoats. ... FYI: The stab-in-the-back theorists were practicing their lines a year ago. Wilson's piece is a classic of that sad argumentative genre. ...
... One other HT to Dan: I'm also looking forward to seeing 'Borat.' But the more I read about it, the more it seems 'Borat' pulled a lot of social punches. If you want to see a movie that truly goes after the haute bourgeoisie with hilareous gusto, 'Team America' is for you. ...
Update -- Almost forgot: They'll blame Iraqis too. ... The media and Iraqis. Hmmmm. Does anyone else share responsibility? Can't think of anyone. Nope. Not really. I'm scratching my head. ...
