Meanwhile, Back At The Reality Ranch

Some good news from people who don’t lie for a living:
Most U.S. troops can be withdrawn safely from Iraq in roughly one year and the Bush administration should begin planning the pullout immediately, according to a study released Wednesday.
With the exception mostly of two brigades of about 8,000 troops who would remain in the touchy Kurdish region in the north for a year, trying to guard against conflict with Turkey, the U.S. troops would be moved to Kuwait initially, says the study by the Center for American Progress, a self-described “progressive think tank” headed by John D. Podesta, a former chief of staff to former President Clinton.
Guy worked for Clinton? He’s a most unserious person who should be sent to Gitmo for even thinking such traitorous thoughts.
The Bush policy will remain what it always was: Carnage until we can blame it on the Democrats.
Since the report was published by a progressive think tank, traditional media will be sure to ignore it or trash it as political hackery. Traditional journalism no longer seems to investigate the merits behind think tank (or anyone else’s) claims before reporting. But neveryoumind, nothing to see here, folks, move right along.
Sure I’m pessimistic.
New website format looks great, by the way.
