OK. Me, too. Particularly because Jim Miklazewski (sp?) and NBC News are such partisans about these sorts of stories.

Ebbed? Only in your mind, son. The "if we repeat it enough, it's true" meme only works for the true believers. I'm sure you're still looking for all of that missing museum treasure, too.

All those stories about the Credibility Gap are all in my mind, too. You and I both know that no WMD have shown up, and neither has most of what was looted from the museum.

Tragedy? We liberated a country from a mass killer, killed fewer people per day of war than in an average day under Saddam while doing so, are rebuilding the country's sadly neglected infrastructure and are growing a new, freer society, have huge and widespread support and general good-feeling from the countries inhabitants (not counting, of course, the thugs who simply want to become the next Saddam themselves), convinced Libya to become a WMD-free zone, ended a lot of financing of Pal terrorism, really pissed off the Iranian mullahs, and we've done it all on a fairly small budget for such achievement. Yeah, I'd write it as a comedy, and the people who continue trying to spread the myth that we screwed up would be the Newmans.

The story I was talking about was the failure to kill Zarqawi. When you write things up, you'll be ignoring that. Tellingly enough.
I'm not going to argue with you about how it's all going to turn out. We shall see. I hope you're right, and fear you're not.

I saw a blurb somewhere about a new weapon the army is sending in to Iraq this week for crowd dispersal. It's a sound generator, which can send a focused beam of intensely painful noise at a target. I immediately thought of Josh.

Ha.
