Iraq: The best we can hope for

Krugman

Now Mr. Bush hopes that by pretending that Mr. Allawi is a real leader of a real government, he can conceal the fact that he has led America into a major strategic defeat.

A) I see very little here that's from "undiscovered" anyone. Quoting articles from major news sources doesn't qualify.

B) There certainly are no balanced viewpoints here. Anyone to the right of Karl Marx is apparently persona non grata. You don't need to post right-wing wacko articles, but how about posting some articles that at least pretend to be centrist?

C) Linking this from Yahoo with the title of the blog is, at best, disingenuous. You should change it to "Today's Slanted Argument."

Krugman, a renowned Capitalist, would be a centrist anywhere else in the world. Only in the US do we get such hyperbole passing as fact as equating Krugman with being somehow with or to the left of Marx. How about some balance in your perception Randall?

Oh, and welcome.

I can understand how this site may seem a bit slanted to you, things tend to appear that way when one's head is up shoved up one's ass.

Anonymous, that was not very brave of you to say such things without even giving your name. Are you Paul Krugman?

It is hard to maintain balance when you're a right-wing wacko pretending to be centrist.

Is this what is meant by a "strange attractor" in chaos theory? Maybe not.
Hateful comments should be erased.
For one, I don't like to read them. For another, well, its like the writing over the urinals: I'm really not even inclined to piss there, much less write.

I guess I'm not offended by swear words. It is usually an indication that the person has no argument so they just mud sling, and denigrate (sort of Bushesque no?). But where DO we draw the line?

I don't think we should delete "Anonymous'" comment any more than we should delete Mr. Ryan's comments. I'm sure Randall is quite familiar with being called names given his (apparent) practice of castigating people's ideas with high-flown, unsubstantiated insults.
