    In reply to Dan Froomkin Becomes Latest Refugee at Huffington Post
    Considering he didn't do any actual reporting at WaPo (aggressive aggregating is more like it), I wonder how he's going to like this gig. His blog was popular but not after the elections, and who's going to read him now? He's not going to be watching the White House, right?

    @Lulupasternak: He'll fit in well at HuffPost. No one does any reporting on their blogs about anything ever, except Alec Baldwin.

    Supposedly he has complete editorial freedom at HuffPo. Salon and other places also either contemplated hiring Froomkin or actively wooed him.


    We'll see. I have high hopes, but who knows what combination of words and deeds will land you in an oubliette at Huffington's Cycladic island fortress?

    "an effective public diplomacy campaign could be waged in the country to explain to Iranians that such an attack is directed against the regime"


    Yeah, too bad our "drop and forget" JDAMs aren't so good at targeting only "the regime". If there's a pack of gang-banging thugs on the loose in John Bolton's neighborhood, the solution isn't to bomb the crap out of the neighborhood.

    POINT: Thanks to this uprising, we can now effectively tell the Iranian people that the Jewish state bombing them is actually targeting their leaders, and not them.


    Yes, I'm certain after generations of hatred, the Iranians will now firmly accept those Jewish bombs as bombs of liberation.


    Are you fucking SERIOUS, Bolton?

    @MargotheDoeEyedFMachine: Well, I suppose. But despite the many different nationalities who live in Israel, it remains a Jewish state. So though I'm not really wrong, I could stand to be more accurate.


    Also you can stand to just fuck right off. Just in case you were wondering.

    Wouldn't it be AWESOME if the Progressive talking heads responded to this (d)Op(e)-Ed by pronouncing it, and all such similar neoconservative drivel afterwards, "Naive"? That should be delivered with an averted gaze, and in the same paternal tone formerly thought to be the exclusive property of patient Dads everywhere objecting to their children's ill-considered choice of an academic major in Ceramics.

    In other words, having been wrong about Iraq, we should be equally prepared to be just as wrong about Iran.

    @depardoo: They see this as the last opportunity to save their failed legacy before the Obama doctrine leaves them on the stupid side of History. This may sound extremely cynical, but this week the troops in Iraq started drawing down on the major cities, handing off to Iraqi forces. You do the math.

    People like Bolton are why I want to raise my children in another country. He and his type will be back in power soon enough and will start new wars. The US is looking at 50 years of continuous warfare.

    @daveyjonesisdead: that is the logic. obama kicked bush out of office by hand to hand combat. obama is bigger and younger so he won. obama then slaughtered all the bush people and put their heads on pikes.
