McCain And Cheney Use O’Hanlon-Pollack Op-Ed To Justify Continuing Escalationhttp://thinkprogress.org/2007/07/31/mccain-uses-ohanlon-pollack-op-ed-to-attack-congressional-war-critics/In his interview with Larry King, Vice President Cheney said “don’t take it from me” that the escalation is working, but rather he cited O’Hanlon and Pollack, individuals whom he called “strong critics of the war”:
"
Look at the piece that appeared yesterday in The New York Times — not exactly a friendly publication — but a piece by Mr. O’Hanlon and Mr. Pollack on the situation in Iraq. They’re just back from visiting over there. They both have been strong critics of the war, both worked in the prior administration; but now saying that they think there’s a possibility, indeed, that we could be successful.
"
The enthusiastic parroting of the Times’ op-ed by pro-war dead-enders such as McCain and Cheney is a quintessential example of how left-of-center experts like O’Hanlon and Pollack provide political cover for the president’s failing Iraq policy. The supposedly reasonable assessments of these two analysts have been enabling the right-wing since before the invasion of Iraq.
DickfuckinCheney cites a NYT times article as a validation of his "policy". Where the F*&K have I heard that before? :mad:
