The war supporters have become so predictable that it would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic. In Jeanette Henderson's idiotic screed "Iraqi progress is bad for Dems" (August 1), she makes the usual claim that the Democrats want us to lose the war. She uses an Op/Ed from the NY Times to make her point but in usual Republican dishonestly neglects to mention that one of the writers wrote a book making the case for starting the war with Iraq. I wonder why she left that out?
Every time the administration has claimed that we have "turned the corner" in Iraq these fools come out of the woodwork to make the claim that we would be winning except for those damned war critics. They have been wrong at every single turn. Yet they are given space the very next time another "corner has been turned" to spout their idiocy once again. Maybe one day the press will finally see them for what they are, willfully dishonest and stupid, and refrain from giving them the space they crave. Give the space to the people who have been right from day one.
Give the space to the people who said this war was a bad idea from the word go. At least we know that they have gotten things right at least once.
