[lbo-talk] Re: counterpunch's monday morning quarterbacking

[jk]

slowly bringing myself to an acceptance of reality,
and reading the postmortems online accordingly. as
much as this list seems to be split on counterpunch's
contributions to online political discourse, messers
cockburn & st. clair's wrap-up is pretty much spo on,
i'd say, and has this intriguing paragraph i find
myself agreeing with -- wondering what the rest of you
might think:

"Edwards added absolutely nothing to the ticket. At
least Dan Quayle held Indiana back in 1988 and 2002.
No one state in the south went into Kerry's column.
Gore did better in Florida and West Virginia. Dick
Gephardt would certainly have brought the Democratic
ticket Missouri and probably Iowa and hence the White
House."

thoughts?

Come on guys, get real. Get real, these guys 
knew where it was and even if it was gone 
before, which I doubt that it was, ask them 
the question, you’re tough reporters, ask 
them the question, who did you have there 
guarding that facility? Why the hell didn’t 
they know it was gone back when we went in? 
This makes me angry. My kid and a lot of 
other kids might get their ass over there 
and get blown up by these because of their 
civilian incompetence. And they’re talking 
about John Kerry was somehow unreasonable 
suggesting that this is incompetence, come 
on. If you think I’m upset, I am.
