Conservatives Weigh in on Civil War
Conservatives are hilarious creatures. They have an explanation for EVERYTHING. Other than Katrina, Bush has really done the right thing and hasn’t made any mistakes.
Things are FANTASTIC in Iraq, or if not, it’s a valid struggle because of9/11...uhh, Saddam’s WMD’s...well see, Iraq was a haven for terror...wait, we’re there to free the people...err, we’re there because we’re not cowards who cut and run...uh, 9/11 punchbuggy red no returns!
As civilian violence is reaching the worst levels yet in the nation we "broke" and consequently "own," the conservatives are trying to spin what may develope into a bloody civil war (or, if your definition of civil war includes a violent conflict within a country fought between organized groups seeking to take control of the center or a region iteself, then we've been having a civil war in Iraq for almost two years). Thing is, they're not quite in agreement as to how to do it.
Because after all, if there's anything liberals have shown through their history in this nation - it's that they're always hungry for a good 'ol war.

First, Fox wondered if civil war would be good thing:
Then they thought, "we're the party of optimism, let's look at the bright side!"
But then of course, it was decided that perhaps the whole thing was just pretend:
Finally, not to be outdone Rush Limbaugh disagreed with all of these things. Rush, ever the human rights pioneer, doesn't think civil war is a good thing, and doesn't think it's made up. He simply thinks it's being wished for by the left.

Yeah, us peace mongers sure get fired up for war. What the hell? So the people who were against this insane invasion of Iraq are now supposed to be cheering for that country to fall into civil war? Okay, insanity has spread all over the Right.
Did you see Gen. Peter Pace yesterday when he said things were going well in Iraq? What the hell was he drinking?
Yeah, I saw clips of the Pace interview.
Therein lies part of the problem - whenever the "liberal media" looks for interviews, updates and special guests to talk about the war, especially during the start of the war, they look to senior ranking military officials.
On the one hand this sounds like the perfect guest to have. But if you're going to be pointing the tired and largely incorrect and totally misleading "liberal media" giant foam finger, you can't ignore that most of these military brass are going to give assessments that are usually in favor of, supporting, or completely 100% behind the President conducting the war.
So while these interviews are valuable on the surface, having a military official disagree or openly criticize a particular war or mission would be unheard of.
So Pace says we're making great progress, I wouldn't believe it for a second - not because I think he's not on the ground or credible, but because I think that's like asking Dick Cheney how the President is doing conducting the war.
So yeah, I see that as a point rarely brought up when conservative idiots say, "oh there's such a liberal slant in covering this war!"
Bullshit. This war coverage has a conservative slant, and a sensationalist slant (i.e. deaths and car bombs making the front page).
Murtha wasn't afraid to call a spade a spade and he did just that yesterday. He said he didn't believe what Pace said. Of course who the hell could?
I think we need an independent office of Psyciatry to examine all of these wing-nuts.
