Yeah, I want to know about this too...
O'Hanlon and Pollack in the news
Both of them were on CBS Nightly News tonight, referred to as former critics of the Iraq war who're now seeing progress in the wake of the surge. Pollack had a couple of headshot sound bites, and O'Hanlon had one. Are they coming out with a book or something?

How you get such a coordinated roll-out for an Op-Ed the very same day it is published?
I smell a rat. Maybe it always works this way, but I don't think so. These guys are part of the General Petraeus propaganda push heading into September. They use the same words, it gets picked up by all wing-nuts and enablers. They made a deal like this: We will push "the getting better all the time" advertising campaign, if you refer to us as critics so we can recover some of our reputation after the last 5 years of war porn reporting.

Watch Out For Socialized Police Forces & Fire Departments!
JBinMO:
I support a third party because neither of the two mainstream parties have platforms I support. I don't want a continuation of the current policies reguarding the war on terror (republicans), nor do I want socialized healthcare (democrats) and those are the choices.
In America, the police, the fire departments and the water departments (mostly) are socialized. Health care--even for seniors--is not, unless you are a veteran.
A single-payer system with multiple private providers is not socialistic. It's efficient.
But if you're so deluded that you can't understand this, then you certainly belong in a third party, where the damage you do will be limited.

"Jeez. I guess it turned out OK. He was with Prime Minister Brown at Camp David. They were holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes. Kept him (and us) out of trouble."
If Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah sees that, he's gonna be really pissed about George Two-Timing him.
Sez George, "Good Job, Brownie!"
Sez Brownie in reply, "Blow me, Georgie Porgie. You owe me big time."

Thanks for the Picture Glenn
Putting a picture of the pundit you are criticizing is twice as effective as I have always said. Thank you for doing it this time Glenn. I hope you continue this practice.

You have a problem with democracy
I support a third party because neither of the two mainstream parties have platforms I support. I don't want a continuation of the current policies reguarding the war on terror (republicans), nor do I want socialized healthcare (democrats) and those are the choices.

A majority of Americans support the health care reforms that Michael Moore proposes and vehemently oppose the GOP on everything. I suppose if the pro-war libertarians and the anti-war libertarians could just get together maybe your next convention could be held in a 2 bedroom apartment in the valley instead of an efficiency off La Brea.
L.A. Efficiency Chosen As Site Of 2000 Libertarian Convention
July 19, 2000 | Issue 36•24
LOS ANGELES–Libertarian Party officials announced Monday that their 2000 National Convention will be held August 18–20 in an efficiency apartment just off La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles.
"As one of the nation's largest cities, Los Angeles provides an ideal stage for us to spread our message of personal and economic self-governance," said Libertarian national director Steve Dasbach, explaining his party's choice of venue at a kitchenette press conference. "Also, it was [Libertarian Party national chairman] David [Bergland]'s turn to host, since it was held at my place in '96."
The convention is expected to be the largest in party history, drawing upwards of 45 Libertarians to the second-floor apartment in the Mulholland Terrace complex. In preparation for the event, 15 extra folding chairs have been ordered by party leaders, as well as 12 two-liter bottles of Pepsi, Sprite, and Diet Mountain Dew.

"Whenever you have this many Libertarians in one place, there's going to be some disagreement," said author and gun-control opponent William McPeters, who will deliver a speech titled, "Why I Abandoned The GOP, And How America's Drug-Legalization Activists Can Profit From The Coming Economic Devaluation." "But if America's Libertarians join together as a strong, unified force, well, there's just no limit to what 57 people can accomplish."
