AMERICA IS LIVING A NIGHTMARE WITH NO END IN SIGHT

By stoat on October 13, 2007.

Another little break from AIT, this time inspired by CIP to scrappleface.

Apologies for the caps, its directly lifted and I didn't want to change it (read: couldn't be bothered to type it all out again). Or perhaps he really did spend the entire speech shouting; its possible, the things he said deserve to be shouted. This is Sanchez, on the evil stupid Iraq war (though the beeb said he was an inglorious part of Abu-Ghraib). There is plenty more quotable in there - "THERE HAS BEEN A GLARING, UNFORTUNATE, DISPLAY OF INCOMPETENT STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP" would do, though he knocks party-partisanship lower down. HE signs off with " PRAISE BE TO THE LORD MY ROCK WHO TRAINS MY FINGERS FOR BATTLE AND MY HANDS FOR WAR." I don't suppose its any use quoting "Thou shalt not kill", people are always rather selective in their bible readings.

scarppleface commented on this under "Retired General Upgrades War to 'Nightmare' Status" which I thought rather good. In fact the later article there calls attention to Sanchez remarks on the media, which I was about to say "are worth reading" before realising that I only skimmed them, so perhaps they aren't after all. If i had more time.

But this is really only an excuse to steal the following funny from scrappleface: "Gore Wins Nobel Prize, High Court Gives It to Bush... Although former Vice President Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize this week for his work as a global-warming performance artist, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled early today that President George Bush would receive the gold medal, the diploma and the $750,000."

I am certainly no fan of the Iraq war, but I found it difficult to read the media reports about retired Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez's recent comments on the war without getting angry. Reading the full text of his remarks took me from anger to outrage. As good as it is to hear an unvarnished…
The Washington Post's war on Gore
In my post on the decision by Justice Burton to allow the showing of An Inconvenient Truth because it was "broadly accurate" I listed some of the reporters who wrongly claimed that the judge decided that AIT had nine errors. Mary Jordan's story was particularly bad. Most of the reporters…
Obama's peace prize
A co-worker of mine recently visited Canada for a wedding. The day she arrived in her preferred unpopulated stretch of tundra, President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize was announced. Now, my first reaction upon hearing about the award was that it was too soon, at least. Then again, it wasn't until 8…
The Washington Post's war on Gore, continued
Correction: My post a few days ago implied implied that the Washington Post celebrated Gore's Nobel by publishing four items repeating the falsehood that a judge found nine errors in the movie. This was wrong. I missed their editorial on the Nobel Prize where they also took a swipe at Gore: His…

What's interesting is that scrappleface has had a definite conservative flavor to it. These latests are a sign of the times, I hope.
