• The Pollack Evasion Strategy

  Published: August 10, 2007, 11:15 am

  Tags: The Fiasco, Kenneth Pollack, There Must Be Pony In Here Somewhere

  A classic example [via MY] of foreign-policy-writer-who-would-be-wholly-discredited-in-any-rational-universe Kenneth Pollack expressing optimism about Iraq by carefully evading the substantive issue:Do you find the electric power is on more continuously?We found there had been a real shift from trying to repair and defend the national power grid,

• The Petraeus Shield

  Published: August 14, 2007, 10:17 am

  Tags: The Fiasco, The War, Petraeus Will Save Our Reputat Er

  I think Andrew J. Bacevich sums it up well: "The cult of Petraeus exists not because the general has figured out the war but because hiding behind the general allows the Bush administration to postpone the day when it must reckon with the consequences of its abject failure in Iraq." The rest of the article is worth reading too.

• Speaking of Liberal Hawk Revisionism...

  Published: August 14, 2007, 9:52 am

  Tags: The Fiasco, Hawk Revisionism

  Although this isn't quite the Atrios link he's craving (to put it mildly), Yglesias has a good point about the frequent indisinguishability of the arguments of "hawks" and (at least American) "liberal hawks" here:This business, in short, short, about how maintaining security in an Iraq-sized country requires 450,000-550,000 troops, while it was

• Liberal Hawk Revisionism?

  Published: August 14, 2007, 2:31 am

  Tags: The Fiasco, Rats Pretending To Have Left Sinking Ship Earlier

  To add on brief point to Ezra's follow-up to his merciless demonstration of how many ways liberal hawks erred, wasn't Pollack's original case based primarily on the alleged threat Saddam posed to the United States, rather than democratization? It seems to me that Packer's characterization of the relevant argument as "Saddam has used weapons of

• Sometimes, You Have To Return to the Classics

  Tags: Instahackery, The Fiasco

  Fourteen-star general Ralph "Blood And Guts" Peters actually dusts off the "our inability to prevent massive gas truck suicide bombings that kill hundreds of people prove that...Al Qaeda is in its last throes and we're winning" routine. And merits an approving link and quote, of course, from the most popular conservative blogger. These people

  It's a generalization, and therefore subject to exceptions and qualifications, but this seems basically right:If we discount the out-and-out hacks, my entirely unscientific impression that apparently smart1 pro-war bloggers who were/are genuinely right wing have been much more likely than apparently smart pro-war bloggers who were (or who claim to

  I really don't understand why Matt won't take the Pentagon's secret evidence at face value; would they really lie to use about such matters?In related news, on a superficial, fuzzy-math, pre-9/11 way it may look like the incomparable Horacio Ramirez has been torched for 67 runs and a .400 OBP in a great pitchers park while striking out only 32

• How the biased liberal-dominated legal system conspires against innocent motorists

  Published: August 30, 2007, 1:00 am

  Friends, Not so long ago, I told you the story of how a deranged, violent cyclist caused over $600 worth of damage to my truck. Later I told you how I, as an innocent victim attempted to make peace with the cycle-maniac, even though the accident was entirely his stupid fault.

  Wheeler and Marshall on the role of Bush crony Ray "Son of Howard" Hunt in the collapse of the Iraq oil deal, which would seem to ensure that nothing remotely resembling a viable Iraqi state is on the horizon. The frightening thing about Iraq has always been that it would be enormously difficult to construct a functioning (let alone democratic)

  Seriously, how many times can they pull the football away from David Broder before he figures out the scam? (The answer, of course, is "an infinite number.") However, from this day forward 90 days shall be known as a "Graham Unit."

  Tags: The Fiasco, Distractions

  This has been another edition etc.:The whole fracas of Petraeus, Crocker, MoveOn, etc. has had, to a good first approximation, no impact whatsoever on anything of any significance. Bush continues to be stubborn. Republicans continue to back Bush. The war continues to go poorly and continues to be unpopular. There was nothing else that ever could

  Kanye’s “Stronger” introduced an interesting blend between genres but Lupe’s “Dumb it Down” is as close to a true hip hop/electronic blend that I’ve ever heard. This isn’t even the first single from Lupe’s forthcoming The Cool, and from the sound of things, when it drops it’s going to
