    How are y'all gonna blame this one on the US?

      Another conservative apologist ignoring the actual story. If you cared one whit for a free and democratic Iraq, this story would scare the hell out of you.
    • thcobbs, on 10/11/2007, -10/+1How am I apologizing for anything? I'm just wondering how this is going to be turned around on the US. I guess we'll see if this ever hits the front page.

      "Iraqi leaders procure U.S. strategy book"

      /There's nothing to see here.

      That's pretty lame, since you know very well that BushCo is being pressured by Republicans for positive news from Iraq, and BushCo created and supports the Iraqi government. And if you can't change reality, than at least change the perception, right? But you already know this and don't need anyone to tell you.

      So you put a comment like "Gee, now I bet someone will reply to my post with a smarter answer!" and are proven to be a wonderful prognosticator by foreseeing the obvious without ever saying anything serious or worthwhile. Well done!
