As the saying goes, “everything before ‘but’ is BS.”

So let's review the bidding. The key decisions that have led to the reduction in the slaughter weren't made by us or by what passes for a national government in Baghdad. They were made by some of the people — both Sunni and Shiite — who were killing American troops just six months ago.

Don't be so sure the U.S. wasn't playing a strong covert role in a lot of these developments, O Jaundiced Media Scribe.

Hmmm....

Some 60plus years ago...

So let's review the bidding. The key decisions that have led to the reduction in the slaughter weren't made by us or by what passes for a national government in JAPAN. They were made by some of the people who were killing American troops just six months ago.

My point:

Yes, you dummy, the people who were doing the killing decided to stop killing...because of what the US is doing over there.

This guy's hilarious logic tells me the DUmmies are in a state of extreme PANIC. They see that in the end, the region will be better off for our intervention. This will be seen as JUSTIFICATION for the war.

That is something they simply cannot abide.

SO the spinning starts now--this was a war that shouldn't have been fought, because the results PROBABLY would have happened SOONER if we hadn't invaded.

You know what it is you're detecting from the opponents of the war? Flop sweat.

"In a remarkable and rare display of both caution and good sense, no one in the Bush administration...."

Huh? The Bushies hate tooting their own horn as a matter of principle. They don't take credit for anything, much less run out there ahead of time to claim credit. For that, look to Bill Clinton, who took credit for the Sun coming up every morning.

Well it’s not over for the media monopoly either, but that doesn’t mean the inevitable is not going to happen.

In a remarkable and rare display of both caution and good sense, no one in the Bush administration has begun doing victory laps over the good news from Iraq.

Yeah. And McClatchy's rotating slogans "Truth To Power" and "Trusted Voices," aren't examples of showboating and blowing it's own horn by Mr. Galloway's employer. In addition to being pure horse-puckey, unlike the performance of the Bush administration.

By the way, those empty, vapid, and fraudulant slogans appear on the same webpage and immediately above Mr. Galloway's nonsensical screed.
