Washington Times Bravely Declares Victory In Iraq

It takes courage in the face of adversity — along with “Yikes, We’re All Crazy Moonies! — to declare victory in Iraq a few hours after Henry Freakin’ Kissinger says he “doesn’t believe that is possible.” But that’s why we love the Washington Times.

The Times describes the corrupt and doomed Iraq reconstruction nightmare as “a minor miracle” and quotes a minor Bush appointee at the Pentagon as saying “something equivalent to the Marshall Plan has been accomplished in Iraq.”

So, stealing $20 billion and fixing up a few schools and hospitals you bombed in the first place is now equal to transforming half a continent of starving people and smoking ruins into Western Europe. Next week, the Washington Times will finally declare an American victory in Vietnam, too. Didn’t Bush just give a victory speech in Hanoi?

3. They're Crazy!

It's good they say things like that; that way NO ONE can possibly take them seriously. Unbelievable!

4. Well, I'd venture a guess that their readers take them seriously.

Or should I say "seriesly"?

5. See how easy that was. Just declare victory.

WE WON HOORAY FOR THE USA

Now it's time to get the fuck out!!

Maybe the NYT and WP should do the same.

6. It all depends on whose yardstick you are using!

7. They gotta shut that POS down

It makes Fux look rational and unbiased.

8. What frightens me are how few ads there are in the Washington Times.

It's like the RW version of AAR -- they can't pay people to advertise in its pages. Obviously run at a loss. Skews your ability to take them seriously since they have absolutely no incentive to "write for their audience". Even the neocons have abandoned them for the Washington Enquirer (really the Loudoun Enquirer, for rich folks who complained that the Times had too much "urban" reporting.)

9. Notice that Bush didn't have to fly into Hanoi under cover of darkness n/t
