Thanks James. Great job. Someday I hope to think of something witty enough to get included in your WIR.

Nice James, but let's not overlook..

The Iraq war story brought in 171 votes and 228 comments.
Some high points included ML2007 said:
"This article should be mandatory reading for every man and woman in America. How anyone can read this article and not question what we as a country has done, is beside me. I found it interesting that this article was written by foreigners. Maybe other countries around the world can keep the fires built and the pressure on to bring the Bush crowd to justice. If these are not war crimes, exactly what are? The US does not have and has never had the right to make a preemptive strike on a sovereign nation. Does this thought make me anti American or unpatriotic? NO! It makes me patriotic because I want to return this run away government back to its people, and I want its people to be delivered by the tyrants who have been practicing treason to our Constitution."

Simonsez had a different take..
""A Nation Ruined". Second largest supply of oil in the world, but won't ever be as good as it was under Saddam!
Give me a break ..."

Anyone remember Point/Counterpoint on SNL? Seeing Obama and Clinton on stage together conjures up memories of Dan Akroyd saying to Jane Curtin: "Jane, you ignorant sl ut."

Obama screwing the Democrat Party.
He and his campfollowers contend that the Bush and the Clinton administration are the same. His insistence that he thinks that the job creation, lowering the national debt, strengthening the dollar and maintain low oil pricing is not important and equivalent to the Bush administration pushes the Clinton Democrats and the GOP into a singular camp.
Does he thing he can win the Whitehouse with 25% of the population solidly behind him?
Reaching across the Isles? He can't even reach across the divide he has created within the democratic party.

I suggest a propeller award for the most inappropriate moniker be awarded to this poster.
Might be fun at year's end to instigate some "competition" - including comment of the year, perhaps.. But other categories too - most offensive to slip under the radar, for example.
[I'm NOT volunteering to sift through however many million comments to select the candidates. It would require someone of immense tolerance and diplomacy who is also not boring.. I hope I don't strike out on the last.]
Like tehranchik??!!

Any time, ZG. I believe this week marked exactly six months of WIRs. If you go to NewsQuake, you can actually take a walk down memory lane and flip through them all (assuming you've got some extra time on your hands!).
