I really enjoyed that profile. It was a gripping read, and his style of showing rather than telling is a nice change from the general air of news reporting.

Oh, forgot to say…

Damn you and thanks, Jules.

Damn you for reminding us that there are good reporters out there, even in that disgusting puss pit of a NYT. So, what do you want? You want us to have to go all nuance nancy when we’re ranting about reporters, dont you? Admit it.

And thanks. Thanks for reminding us that not all reporters are journalists writing their own little diaries of their own little thoughts and wish it were’s, illusions and delusions, dreams and ignorance. Some are actually capable of doing their job.

Of course, that’ll make it just that much more heart rending on the day when the ropes, pitchforks and hot tar buckets get brought out. Y’all really should start working on figuring out how to clean up your industry before the gen public decides it has to do it for all y’all.

“Maybe Obama can have Biden figure out which country fits the bill?”

Pfft! Everyone knows Murtha has the answer to that already! Okinawa! We can just park that island right off the coast of Pakistan any time we want, donchu know?

The bulk of Al Qaeda’s leadership, Haass pointed out, is now in Pakistan. That’s where the United States should really be focused — in Pakistan, with a population six times larger than Afghanistan’s and with at least 60 nuclear warheads.”

That’s hard to argue with. So let’s see, what would be the best way to focus on Pakistan? Gee, if only there were a country where we had airports, military bases, ground troops, full air superiority, and a shared border with the worst of the Pakistani extremists.

Maybe Obama can have Biden figure out which country fits the bill?
