#1 Wait ... this can't be right. Nancy Pelosi said we should thank Iran! The Libs can't even get their stories straight.

#2 The Iraqis and Iranians agreed on this strategy to help get McCain elected. After our election they'll start to fight again.

#3 NYT is having to twist logic, reality and credulity to defend thier obviously WRONG stance on the surge and the conduct of the war.

They are placing politics over reporting, spin over facts, and bias for objectivity.

And in doing so they are ACTIVELY *mal*informing the public -- planting false ideas, spin and bias instead of reporting the fact. Meaning they want to FOOL people into following their position, rather than inform them of the entire set of facts in an objective fashion and have the public make up its own mind.

The NYT is doing grave damage to our democracy by their irresponsibility, and are bordering on becoming a domestic enemy.

#4 Boy Howdy, that kind of logic would have gotten me THROWN out of class when I was taking Classic Philosophy and a F on a term paper.
However, twisted, folded, spindled and mutilated logic seems to work for newspapers these days.
I love it when they do backward sumersauts of logic up their own rectums and call it news.
Only the most deluded of liberals would buy this crap.
Of course, watch Barak and Billary roll this crap out in the next round of dead horse beating they do on their neverending campaign trail.

#6 The NYT isn't driving subscribers away, they're just choosing not to buy the Times.
