More Feel Good News From Bagdad

The democrats are the only ones so completely incompetent that they are unable to coherently bring to light what's really going on in Iraq. While Al Quaeda in Iraq remains an issue, it's far from the main problem. Sectarian violence is omnipresent. Is anyone else noticing the admnistration's increasing willingness to admit (albeit quite subtlely) that the police are largely compromised. Reports of police tacit and in fact participation in brutal sectarian killings can be found more than once a week.

I'm not advocating for our departure either immediately or even in the near term, but rest assured as these reports get more play, support for the staus quo will drift lower still.

Can MSNBC Become Relevant

I don't know, but I'm rooting for them. Their numbers are so anemic, moreover they lack CNN cachet as the "original" and FNC's position as the supposed counter-balance to the omnipresent MSM (BTW how is it that FNC is able to crow about its numbers, rightfully so in most cases, yet still claim to be outsiders).

why i haven't blogged

Lazy? yep. Not much say? yep. Disgusted by my lack of knowledge as to how to make my site even arguably visually interesting ? definitely.
