Shrill Will

George Will compares "Mission Accomplished" to Dunkirk and finds Bush wanting.

Rhetoric of Unreality

Last week, in the latest iteration of a familiar speech (the enemy is "brutal," "we're on the offensive," "freedom is on the march") that should be retired, the president said, "This is a moment of choosing for the Iraqi people." Meaning what? Who is to choose, and by what mechanism? Most Iraqis already "chose" -- meaning prefer -- peace. But in 1917 there were only a few thousand Bolsheviks among 150 million Russians -- and the Bolsheviks succeeded in hijacking the country for seven decades.

If only Will and now-apostate neocons like Fuckyoumama had faced reality before the war.

OUT.

NOW.
