But, but… Iran is interfering with our occupation of Iraq!
But our occupation of Iraq is interfering with the proper way to treat the rest of humanity, and it is creating a problem in the area of trusting American intervention for populations which are part of the rest of the world.

Wow. Hersch wrote/said some just unreal stuff. Check out this:
Hersh says the U.S. has been “pumping money, a great deal of money, without congressional authority, without any congressional oversight” for covert operations in the Middle East where it wants to “stop the Shiite spread or the Shiite influence.” Hersh says these funds have ended up in the hands of “three Sunni jihadist groups” who are “connected to al Qaeda” but “want to take on Hezbollah.”
I’m quite certain the 9 billion “lost” in I-wreck is funding all this, so “congressional oversight” isn’t possible. But giving money to the Sunnis, some who seem indirectly connected to AQ, seems damn impeachable…

Sy Hersh, one of Greenwald’s former “bitches,” still gets a lot of ink for God only knows why. He’s been proven to be not only wrong on most occasions, but so wrong that only The New Yorker will publish his crap these days. He currently resides in a very nice condo, all paid for by the fruits of his treacherous behavior during the Vietnam era.

last weekend i saw the author of “Arabic for Dummies” on CSPAN. he mentioned something that i had been wondering about and this excerpt reminds me of it. he said that the adjective form of Shia is Shia, not Shiite, that there is no such word.
so why does it get used so often by publications that actually care about language details (yes, the new yorker)?
Given that the White House hasn’t made any mistakes in Iraq, what makes anyone think that they’d get us involved in a quagmire in Iran? Oh, right. . .
For the U.S. to get involved militarily in determining the outcome of the struggle over who’s going to govern in Iraq strikes me as a classic definition of a quagmire. –Dick Cheney, 1991
Well, I stand by what I said in ‘91. –Dick Cheney, 2006
Okay, we’re fucked. Someone who has the judgment to deliberately get us involved in a quagmire in Iraq isn’t going to have much hesitation about going into Iran. I foresee ponies falling like dominoes.
Whoops! Looks like Tim F. got there ahead of me. And they have temporarily (?) put a freeze on new accounts, so for the moment we don’t have to worry about libruls signing on and vandalizing articles. What a relief!

The interesting thing will be to watch what happens to “Petraeus’ guys.” They have been right about lots of stuff in Iraq all along, and they’re the ones who I’m hoping prove me wrong about the surge, which I think is 3 years late and a few doen thousand troops short.
They include HR McMaster, who wrote “Dereliction of Duty.”

I hope the Conservapedians don’t stop dropping gems like:
World History is a different story: over 5000 years, much of it non-Christian.
One of Yglesias’s commentators flagged an article about homeschooling, which described homeschooling as producing “a disproportionate number of high achievers” (how would they know?), with examples. My favorite? Jesus.
Big Oil is a term some use to describe the major petroleum companies such as ExxonMobil, ChevronTexxaco, British Petroleum and more. Democrats often attempt to position themselves against Big Oil despite accepting over $48,000,000 in donations from oil companies [1]. Republicans embrace Big Oil because they know that the companies define the very essence of capitalism — success at business[2] while helping the American citizen. Without Big Oil, we would have no gasoline, heating oil or plastics.

Can we rename the war on terror, and call it The War Against Terror? The acronym is infinitely more funny.
Fox News was started in 1996 in response to the other cable news channels which all had obvious liberal biases. Because of this, Rupert Murdoch decided to start a real new channel which would tell the truth. The success of Fox news over every other news channel is because it is fair and balanced. [1] It has many people on it who work to spread truth such as Sean Hannity who is a great American.
There are two major types of judicial activism practiced in the United States’ court system:
1. Liberal judges striking down laws that uphold core conservative American values
2. Liberal judges refusing to strike down laws that subvert core conservative American values
Sooooo good.

The spoofers are already all over the site. The Bill Clinton entry starts out with the typical negative shit, but then comes this towards the end:
Bill Clinton managed to serve two terms without botching the prosecution of two wars, manipulating intelligence, engaging in a systematic program of torture, or mishandling the federal response to flooding of a major American city. Obviously, he is the devil incarnate. Clinton also attempted to use the American military to kill Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, an action which was properly seen as a mere attempt to distract the nation from the Monica Lewisnky scandal.
RSA… It appears to me that the easiest way to deal with those incorrect statements from the past, is simply scrub the Whitehouse website and pretend like they never existed.

Hey, where’s Paul L’s inevitable-as-the-sun-rising open thread entry, where he spouts fundamentalist dribble about stem cell research? About how all those folks hoping for medical progress made from the use of embryonic stem cells are deluding themselves straight into eternal hellfire, while them scientists who stick with good Christian adult stem cells get a pony and a wet kiss from Jesus?

Hey, where’s Paul L’s inevitable-as-the-sun-rising open thread entry, … WheretheheckAREya, Paul?
Today’s Paul L. open thread entry is about Balloon Juice commenters favorite feminazi and martyr of the left blogosphere Amanda Marcotte who debates by deleting comments critical of her view on the Duke rape case.
The true beauty of her response is that she uses a email written by a Duke Lacrosse player who was not charged in the case to prove her point.
Peace out.

I agree Paul. None of this would have happened if Amanda Marcotte had only kept her big feminist mouth shut. When will these fascist women learn that by having blogs and stating their own opinions, they are undermining the American Judicial System as we know it? Feminists are a greater threat to our nation than Al-Qaeda, France, and stem-cell-cloned-Hitler combined.

And then men who spew terms like “feminazi” wonder why women with a sense of self-respect don’t want to date them….
The jury foreperson sent the Judge a note this morning, saying that one of the jurors in this panel had contact with news coverage of this case and used that information as part of the jury deliberations with others. In other words, this outside news coverage seeped into deliberations despite the Judge adamantly demanding that jurors not watch any news coverage, that they judge this case strictly on what is presented in court.
For what it’s worth, Paul, the line is that “all men are POTENTIAL rapists”. Given the frequency of relationship abuse — almost all of it directed at women — that has come to appear to be reasonable caution, not mysandry.
