Geraghty rules
[Read the article: Get your facts right, boys]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Jimmy G ripped you a new one yesterday, dogface. He picked your stack of lies clean and got to the truth. Anyone interested can go to: http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post then scroll down to yesterday (August 22nd). It's the sixth post down.
PS: I love when someone with brains takes the time to pick apart an "axe-grinding hack" (Geraughty's words) like Joan Walsh.

"The Bush September Rollout"
[Read the article: How to win in Iraq: Arm everybody!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Five years later it's déjà vu all over again, as the Bush administration rolls out a new marketing plan to sell the Iraq war this September..."
Dogface, it was Harry Reid who scheduled "The Bush September Rollout," you hack.
Are you going to delete my comment again?

Send in the Posting Police, Anonymous!
[Read the article: How to win in Iraq: Arm everybody!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Actually, Anonymous, I DID place it under the wrong blog post at first. Then, realizing my mistake, I placed it here, where Joan promptly deleted it. So send in the posting police! Emergency! Emergency! I guess when you don't like the message, you can always find a way to shoot the messenger.

How are they REALLY getting their weapons?
[Read the article: How to win in Iraq: Arm everybody!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]ABC News (hardly a bastion of Conservatism) reports:
U.S. officials say they have found smoking-gun evidence of Iranian support for terrorists in Iraq: brand-new weapons fresh from Iranian factories. According to a senior defense official, coalition forces have recently seized Iranian-made weapons and munitions that bear manufacturing dates in 2006.
This suggests, say the sources, that the material is going directly from Iranian factories to Shia militias, rather than taking a roundabout path through the black market. "There is no way this could be done without (Iranian) government approval," says a senior official.
Evidence is mounting, too, that the most powerful militia in Iraq, Moktada al-Sadr's Mahdi army, is receiving training support from the Iranian-backed terrorists of Hezbollah.
Two senior U.S. defense officials confirmed to ABC News earlier reports that fighters from the Mahdi army have traveled to Lebanon to receive training from Hezbollah.
While the New York Times reported that as many as 2,000 Iraqi militia fighters had received training in Lebanon, one of the senior officials said he believed the number was "closer to 1,000." Officials say a much smaller number of Hezbollah fighters have also traveled through Syria and into Iraq to provide training.
Yep, that "American Military Complex" is at it again.

Yes, Bush evil. Cheney evil. Republicans evil. Military Industrial complex evil. Black helicopters everywhere. And now ABC news is in on it too!

Arm Everybody in Iraq?

Wow, Hadashito, you must have connections that the rest of us mere mortals will never have. You know the "real" plan.

"with its central event, Gen. David Petraeus' address to Congress, unbelievably scheduled for the sixth anniversary of 9/11".
[Read the article: How to win in Iraq: Arm everybody!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]@ pdooley:
It seems I must again remind readers like yourself that it was the-always-optimistic "supporter of our troops" - yep, Harry Reid himself - who scheduled General Petraeus' address to Congress.

Joan Walsh is no baseball fan.
[Read the article: The last word on Jewish baseball players]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I really doubt that Joan Walsh is any kind of baseball fan at all. After all, she mocked Jim Geraghty's article on Giuliani, claiming that the former New York mayor spent more time at Yankee games than at Ground Zero. Any serious baseball fan (and any serious New Yorker) knows how critical the Yankees were to the healing process in the Big Apple after the tragic attack. In fact, HBO did an excellent documentary on that very subject called "Nine Innings from Ground Zero." And THAT's why Giuliani spent so much time in BOTH places. So, pah-leeeze, Joan, don't try to pass yourself off as a baseball fan. As Jim Geraghty put it, you're no more than an axe-grinding hack.

Joan's worst nightmare
[Read the article: The unsettling deaths of Omar Mora and Yance Gray]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Joan, just imagine what would happen in your silly little world if America actually defeats al Qaeda in the very place Osama himself considers the central battlefield of his precious jihad. Yes, Joan, I'm talking about an American victory in Iraq. Imagine that.
Not that you'd ever aspire to a goal as lofty as winning the first great battle in the war on terrorism. In fact, I'm sure your head will explode when that day finally comes to pass.
In the meantime, please don't pretend to cry crockadile tears for fallen heroes who happen to agree with your point of view on Iraq. Well over 3,000 other brave soldiers have met their fate there, too. And I'm quite sure that most of them would find your opportunism as transparent as it is nauseating.

A muzzle or a favor?
[Read the article: Fox muzzles Sally Field]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oh, pah-leeze. Get over yourselves. Fox cut her because she appeared to be a babbling idiot. Even what they didn't cut was embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch, to say the least. Add to that a good strong "God damn" and she was toast. They did her a favor.

Travesty?
[Read the article: The week so far]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Media Matters' Eric Boehlert is absolutely right about the travesty of mainstream reporting on Dan Rather's lawsuit against CBS."
Oh, pah-leeze, Joan. The only travesty (outside of the forged documents Rather tried to pawn off on us) was that he once again displayed his ugly bias by purposely breaking that National Guard "story" a month before the election. What he's doing now is trying to rewrite history. And that's not a travesty. That's pathetic.

Never proven fake?
[Read the article: The week so far]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Actually, the memos were never proven authentic. And if CBS had so much confidence in them, why then wouldn't they have attempted to follow through? I guess they slammed on the breaks when Dan's "unimpeachable source" turned out to be a complete loon. That's when everyone at CBS, including Dan, ran like scared little rabbits.
