Robert Naiman, Just Foreign Policy, October 27

Incredible, but true.

In the course of an article making fun of Congressional Democrats for not having a unified position on the war, the New York Times reported today that "even if the Democrats win one or both houses of Congress, they will not have the authority to change the course of the war significantly."

Say what?

************************************************************

The word,"significantly", may be "New York Times" ed-speak for, "Don't expect the U.S. to give up its power to exert control over the supply of oil coming out of Iraq." Bi-partisanism rules on this issue.
