Der Spiegel: Iraq Progress "Astonishing"
— Ace

A leftish German rag admits it. NBC still officially deems Iraq in a state of "civil war."

Worth a read, if you have extra time and want to read stuff you already know. I really couldn't find anything particularly juicy to quote, myself.

I predict a Nobel Peace prize is in President Obama's future for his astonishing leadership in bringing peace and prosperity to Iraq and all his work in reducing AIDS in Africa. /sarcasm

2 I'm still waiting for NBC to declare the Civil War over. They declared it, only they can end it.

This is the real news in the story:

Two kilometers down the street, business is booming late into the night at Ali Lami's roadside snack bar. Before the war the establishment, a Baghdad institution, was a favorite hangout for former dictator Saddam Hussein's henchmen and United Nations weapons inspectors alike.

4 Ace, if you need to read something juicy, you're reading the wrong German mag.

I suggest "Dwarfischer Trannische Tinkelspritzen Weekly", for starters.

5 This is too easy:  If Obama is elected, then after some small amount of time passes the MSM will breathlessly declare that the civil war in Iraq is over, due entirely to the incredibly wise actions and words of the new Chosen One.

Works kinda like the pronouncements on the economy:  the exact same figures that are "terrible" and "worst economy in decades" if a Repub is prez are declared to be good or great indicators if a Dem is elected.

The Drive-by Media:  We report, we decide..

6 I think Stern has boobs.

Not only a is Der Spiegel a lefty rag, they very much hate the US.  If this is coming from Der Spiegel, the media has finally decided to cut and run from the unnecessary quagmire they've entered.

7 A lot of the media are subtly ummm...refining their positions on Iraq these days.  Transparent lies will only take you as far as the public is dumb enough to swallow them.  About 6 months ago we went past the point where even a retarded public could see that something was up.

Curiously, the Obama campaign, remained locked into three years ago at the time everyone else was starting to clue up.

Near as I can tell, here's the order that knowledge of the success in Iraq spread:

Iraqis.

Coalition troops.

The dextrosphere.

Republican politicians.

The public in general.

Foreign anti-American media.

The MSM and the sinistrosphere, but I repeat myself (in progress).

Democrat politicians (around the time that Iraq is about as dangerous as Nebraska).

Reid, Pelosi, and Obama are really on the leading edge of the wave, huh?

9 Trust me, Ace previewed the new meme on the radio today. The goal isn't to lose the war. It's for Bush to lose the war.

"around the time that Iraq is about as dangerous as Nebraska"

Dude, I grew up on the mean streets of rural Nebraska.  We called the rest of America "The Green Zone," and we'd never even heard of Baghdad.  Don't talk it, if you haven't lived it.

IAHT - you wouldn't understand.

I prediced this, when we win the commicrats will claim credit.

Their comrads in the university history dept's will re-write history if we allow them, like they have in UK and Japan.

Churchill, who is that, War??? who us....we are victims of the nukes from the heinous Americans and they locked us up in camps

18 Der Speigel had an article up a few months ago about the surge. "Iraq Not Lost: What The Fuck???111!!!!". I only read foreign press for laughs, but they sent someone over there and published what they wrote so I guess credit goes where credit is due.

19 So they're selling pork in Baghdad, but in the UK, posters with puppies are "offensive"?  I think we can say there's now officially NOTHING the jihadists could tell their lefty PC useful idiots that they wouldn't believe.

The International Herald article by Glanz and Oppel, Jr. anti-American (oil, war for profit) interests in Iraq is fabricating some whole cloth for Bobama's Egyptian "Clearance Sale".

State Department is asked for policy on an American businessman making a deal in Iraq, and responds "no policy at this time either for or against" but has given the advice to everyone from everywhere that any deals made prior to Iraqi government decision is premature and risks contractual compromises down the road.

Glanz and Oppel would make it out that Hunt, a Dallas oilman, has no legitimate reason to be negotiating with the Kurds who approached him over an oil deal. Furthermore, they insert their own words into "the record" hypocritically pushing their own line of business interest prior to any parliamentary decision by the Iraqi govt.
