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?

    Of course, Greenwald "learns" all the WRONG lessons history has to offer him. Why? Because he's a klueless libral, dat's why.

    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.

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

    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.

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

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