Mumbai, the NYT's revisionism, and lessons not learned

The Times' Editorial Page blames the Bush administration for "blessing" the military coup against Hugo Chavez without mentioning that it did the same. Why does that matter?

    What precisely are you talking about, Lotus Feet?

    The photos and clips of Indian soldiers with single shot rifles going up against terrorists with machine guns say a lot about the courage of the soldiers and the results we too would get if libralz like Glenn were to "fix" our defense budget.

    I don't recall Glenn ever writing about the DoD budget, nor him claiming to be a 'liberal', nor seeing any of the photos or clips you're referring to. In fact, if memory serves, the Bharatiya Thalsena's weapons of choice are H&K MP5 smg and the FN FAL assault rifle, making them at least as well armed as their opponents.

    Notice the Indians know better than to even pretend to negotiate with the terrorist scum. They go room to room ferreting them out.

    And precisely who is suggesting New Dehli negotiate with these guys?

    Chavez is also a scum bag. The idea there is to win one election and make that election the last election. So he disqualifies his most effective opponents, undermines his neighbors' democracy, takes control of the media and forms alliances with fellow scum bags such as Putin.

    Or George W Bush for that matter. Scum is as scum does and all that.

    In the meantime, the housewives of Caracas are faced with runaway inflation and massive food shortages.

    Which is President Chavez's fault...how?

    None of this gets noticed by useful libral idiots like Glenn Greenvalt.

    Are you suffering from Tourettes or something? Its rather hard to make out at this point.
