Andy Sullivan: almost retarded

Here's what Sullivan said about the Mission Accomplished sign:

"Bush was dumb to have put that banner up (and dumber to say it had nothing to do with him). But if he was wrong, how wrong was Madeleine Albright, who trumpeted "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq in ... 1998!"

He links to: http://www.fas.org/news/iraq/1998/12/20/98122004_tlt.html

Now, first of all, it was a totally different battle in 1998. We weren't on the ground. Second, it might have damn well been accomplished, since it seems that Saddam's weapons program was done away with, or at the least hit extremely hard. It's like saying that we didn't win WWII because Germany still exists.

1. Who really reads Sully anymore?

Given the Republican party's stance on sexual orientation, it doesn't seem as if there would be a lot of hard core Republicans reading his stuff anymore. I wonder if his audience has narrowed down to those who disagree with him?

Getting lonely in that Log Cabin, Andrew?

2. ....

His blog is quite popular, actually. Plus, Republicans like those minorities; they get to pretend that they aren't racists/homophobes.

4. What's Important Is That ASS, I Mean, AS, Reads DU

Edited on Mon Nov-10-03 04:44 PM by UTUSN

and VERY closely, digging up hard-to-find posts to quote against us. What *I* can't find in reading at least the top 5 pp of GD plus top p.1 of LBN once or even twice per day, ASS, I mean AS, has been able to find, meaning that ASS, I mean AS, is THISCLOSE on us. The deeper layer of meaning is that ASS, I mean AS, *knows* that ASS, I mean AS, is a traitor to his home group, yearns to be "home" with Libs, and CAN'T stay away even if just lurking.

Hi, ASS, I mean AS!

He was attacking TPM with a little too much vigor considering his weak points.

3. Weren't Condi & Colin

bragging in early to mid 2001 that the sanctions had neutered Saddam, and that he wasn't even a threat with his *conventional* weapons to his neighbors, let alone any WMD or anything further away from his immediate neighbors?

Since early to mid 2001 was just after the Clinton years, I'd say that the mission was accomplished through at least that time.
