Thanks for pointing me to Robin Wright's column in today's Washington Post. Here's a link for others who would like to read it:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A21679-2005Feb13.html

While she goes out of her way to begin the column by quoting those with the most negative view of the election and who foresee a major role for Iran, by the end she has to backpeddle somewhat, quoting Iraqi Shiite leaders to the effect that they don't want to emulate Iran and have chosen a path toward democracy not theocracy. It's also mentioned that experts don't in fact believe that Iraq will become a vassal state of Iran and that Iraq's Arab identity will keep it separate from Iran's Persian one.

Yes but Dan Senor doesn't know anything, the whole time he was in Iraq did he get to know the insurgents needs? Did he try to find out what made them so very angry? No, he only followed Bush's plan making him a puppet of the occupationists. We all know the Iraqi's really do not want democracy. They want to live in squalor and fear.

Ugh...Don't you get tired of the nitwits on the left who believe this garbage?

It still cracks me up how Katie wore black for three days after Bush beat her beloved Kerry.

Wasn't that a riot? And you know that for the highly fashion-conscious Katie there are no coincidences when it comes to wardrobe choice.

Acceptance.

Robin Wright's reporting on Iraq has been execrable. The Washington Post must know by now that they hired a lemon.

Could there possibly be yet a fifth stage, signalling enlightenment: Katie turns up wearing button "Jeb/Condi 2008!"

Check out this incredible column from the Wall Street Journal about all the recent GOOD news from Iraq [not sure if registration required]:

Wonder when someone will realize and report that there is more vilolence on the streets of Detroit than in Iraq on most days.

LOL! You have their line down pat.

Yes, I do get tired of it. They have nothing original to say and keep parroting the same lines, even when proven wrong.

"Robin Wright's reporting on Iraq has been execrable." and you think the Wash Post might regret hiring her? Well, I don't doubt it. Robin traveled the globe, joined at the hip, to Colin Powell. He leaked, she did more repeating than reporting. So I wouldn't doubt Robin's "expertise" has gone shabby now that she isn't ghosting for Colin Powell.

She wore black the day after Sadam Hussein was captured as well.

As Homer Simpson once said:

"Now Bart, Katie Couric worked long and hard to become TV's most successful dwarf"

(or something to that effect)

..."since the election, 108 people have been killed in various insurgent attacks..."

Katie, how many people have been murdered in America since the Iraq elections? Is that not important?

In a mark of her fairness, Katie is willing to blame Pres. Bush for that too ;-)

What you claim is likely true. However, I'm not sure that Colin Powell was ever truly in the White House "loop". Strange though that may seem, he appears to have been brought into the decision-making process after decisions were reached. Historically, that is not so unusual as it was a strategy employed by FDR in dealing with Hull, Truman used with Byrnes, and Reagan with Haig.

I know. It was proverty caused by unemployment when the US overthrew the Baathists and put all those party hacks out of work.

"I see that Katie is still using her favorite source...."some"."

Or her other prime source: "There are those who ..."

Katie has been having it rough since the time she wished Saddam had 'hopefully escaped to Syria' in the early days of the Iraqi War 2.
