Chimpy McBushhitler strikes again

If your Thursday's off to a bad start, don't read this. I don't read the NY Times but a friend emailed today's op-ed, which chastises the Bush Administration for "bully Iran into stopping its meddling inside Iraq" and suggests diplomacy would be more effective.

This op-ed reads as though it could have originated in Tehran. It's fair enough to suggest Ahmadinejad is weakening, and Maliki shouldn't be canoodling with Iranian-trained militias, if he is. Those are fair points, although the insinuation Bush has somehow abandoned diplomacy is false. But the NYT, as it and its Angry Left readers have repeatedly done wherever President Bush is concerned, obscures kernels of truth and worthwhile debate, in a tiresome anti-war, anti-Republican polemic. The suggestion Bush is "bullying" Iran -- that poor sheep lost in the woods -- by clarifying that US soldiers can protect themselves from Iran's goons is beyond idiotic. And that's why the NYT is an intellecutal garbage dump.

There's always been plenty to debate on Iraq. But as the NYT shows time and again, there's no one on the left to offer any reasoned discussion.
