Success in Iraq? For Whom?

If you kill and exile and segregate and imprison enough Iraqis and then fudge the reporting on the violence, what will happen? The New York Times will claim success, and Democrats will move from total capitulation to abject servility, thereby revealing their lack of interest in ending the occupation, their indifference to Iraqi deaths, their disdain for international law, their willingness to continue spending our grandchildren's money, their acceptance of the coming attack on Iran, and their incompetence at politics even when they place it above all else. The Times will fail to mention Kucinich of course, except as a footnote in a half sentence at the end aimed at misleadingly portraying him as wrong. Meanwhile, Cheney-Bush cuts troop levels in Iraq by 3% in response to the LACK OF ANY MORE TROOPS TO SEND, and not in response to the bill from Congress that didn't pass the Senate but was designed to take credit for the coming minor troop cut.

1. embracing the illegal occupation and epic tragedy of Iraq is shameful

and the dems who do embrace should be ashamed of themselves.
