Today’s news-flavored crap nugget is courtesy of the New York Times. The following two quotes are shamelessly lifted from the Wall Street Journal.
"Now, a pact between local tribal sheiks and American commanders has sent thousands of young Iraqis from Anbar Province into the fight against extremists linked to Al Qaeda. . . . The deal has all but ended the fighting in Ramadi and recast the city as a symbol of hope that the tide of the war may yet be reversed to favor the Americans and their Iraqi allies."--news story, New York Times, July 8
"It is time for the United States to leave Iraq, without any more delay than the Pentagon needs to organize an orderly exit. . . . Milestones came and went without any progress toward a stable, democratic Iraq or a path for withdrawal. . . . Whatever [President's Bush's] cause was, it is lost. . . . Keeping troops in Iraq will only make things worse."--editorial, New York Times, July 8
I guess my real question is this: Who decides what they should think on an issue based on an editorial? Is there anybody on this little ball of water & gas we call Earth that is still on the fence about Iraq? Since the obvious answer is ‘no’ I think we can all agree that the second quote is just some overpaid schmuck spraying opinions onto a billboard that no one drives past.
