They're going to be off to the next possible problem. In this case, they'll be waiting to say the peace was mucked up by a poor planning.

Exactly.

[steveegg]

hehehe, I love serving up crow ;)

I hope you left the feathers on :-)

[Stentor]

LOL. Sick.

[gridlock]

What a difference a week makes, eh?

Actually, since this is from TIME, make that two weeks.

Johanna is a pathological lying lunatic lib. This is what she lives for and gets paid for, lying for the DNC!

"One big heaping plate of crow" ping.

Re: #38 -- with all due respect, comparing TIME/CNN to Al-Jazeera is a tad below the belt, don't'cha think? I mean, Al-Jazeera must feel mighty insulted ;)

[JohnHuang2]

LOL - how true

[Petronski]

Back to the ITT Tech War College with you, Johanna McGeary.

[JohnHuang2]

Yes, but of course :)

Heh

[Marysecretary]

they all look so, look so...deeply saddened...don't they? (hahahahahahahahahaha!!!)

"The Congressional leaders of the AXIS OF INTERNAL EVIL, are deeply sadden by the reality of the Iraqi War"

Great picture and caption, Grampa Dave. Chuckie Schumer, Tom "Thumb" D'Aschole, and the Hildebeast look absolutely flumoxed!

hehehe, I love serving up crow ;)

ROFL !! Timing's not everything. Sometime's it's the ONLY thing !! Couldn't have been better in this case !

[San Jacinto]

So Time alleges the Administration devised a war plan they thought would lead to a campaign which was," quick, easy, relatively bloodless."

Well?......

In less than 2 weeks we are in the enemies' capitol with under 100 kia. I wonder what they would have thought of the Normandy invasion. After 2 weeks we had thousands of dead and were stuck in the hedgerows of France.

[Grampa Dave]

You would be deeply saddened if a large donor who enabled you to be in power and live a great life style can not longer donate to your life style.

We have to just keep pounding these real losers in life.

Time leads its article with a bogus quote that the NYT has already apologized for using

Letter to Time: 

Editors, JOHANNA MCGEARY


"The enemy we're fighting," said army Lieut. General William Wallace last week, "is different from the one we'd war-gamed against." [NY Times]

As you are well aware this quote is wrong. All major news sources last week reported the flawed quote from the New York Times. But you obviously chose to ignore the real quote, or never got the 'memo'

Disgusting bias or ineptitude?...you decide.


THE CORRECT QUOTE AS YOU WELL KNOW READ: 

"The enemy we're fighting," said army Lieut. General William Wallace last week, "is [A BIT] different from the one we'd war-gamed against." [Lieut. General William Wallace]

"Operation Paused Quagmire" is sure making fools of the Clymers and armchair generals....

hehehe, good one, friend!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Gee, I wonder if TIME will issue a lenghty correction to this pathetic piece of running-with-the-pack "journalism" that uses questionable "sources" for stories whose aim is to discredit an administration that TIME editors still thinks was "selected".

I'm not holding my breath, for that would be the honorable and journalistically ethical thing to do...
