The WSJ’s Taranto trivializes the Iraqi insurgency.
Asks, “Is the Iraq ‘insurgency’ another Internet bubble?” If so, it’s a very deadly bubble.

For the past year at least Bushlandia has insisted that the insurgents be called terrists.
Taranto is carrying water for King George, nothing more.
December 2nd, 2005 at 5:20 pmRepublicans are the new Internet Bubble, and so WAS their popularity…
December 2nd, 2005 at 5:23 pmThat bubble is hardcore… killing over 2,000 US troops, and thousands more Iraqis.
Internet bubbles didn’t use to make me angry. But now that I see they can be a mass insurgency… they do!
December 2nd, 2005 at 5:29 pmIf the tables were turned: another country invaded us and we were trying to protect our family and homes would we be insurgents or terrorists?
December 2nd, 2005 at 5:32 pmThese whack jobs used to make more sense, didn’t they?
December 2nd, 2005 at 5:36 pmAre desperate and sloppy now?
Do they ever run their crazy thoughts past
someone on the outside of their reality
bubble to make sure it isn’t stupid?
#4 im4mary, you bet, if anyone actacked my neighborhood I’d be exercising my right to protect my life and home.
December 2nd, 2005 at 5:44 pm(Straining Voice) Must…Resist…Idiots!!!
(Straining Voice) Must…Fight…Stupidity!!!
(Straining Voice) Must…Find…Morons!!!
Whew…That was close…
The level of ignorance is too glaring for me…I need sunglasses…
INTERNET BUBBLEIRAQ
A business event??? An unjustified conflict???
Money Lost??? Lives lost???
Businesses bankrupt??? Families Destroyed???
Okay…I am not following here!!! Where are the Neo-IDIOTS??? I gotta here their SPIN on this one!
December 2nd, 2005 at 5:52 pmThese whack jobs used to make more sense, didn’t they?
We are talking about the the Wall Street Journal op/eds, right? Sadly, no.
December 2nd, 2005 at 5:58 pmWSJ still thinks if the stock market is good, ALL is ok in the nation. The gov. bases the economy on the how well the stock market is doing,thats not all the picture. What irory tower dummys. I know, let the ‘under priviledged’ eat cake, right babs bush?
December 2nd, 2005 at 6:11 pmPlease note this article by Mr. Taranto was marked “best of the web”. Also note that this what one can read for FREE from the WSJ. Hey the NasDaq can hit a record high even if the govt. has squandered fortunes and futures huh? Hey as long as the Dow does good and taxes aren’t raised……
December 2nd, 2005 at 6:12 pmLet’s face it, the only interest the WSJ is gonna have for the Iraq War is the profit that can be generated by their client companies. Wasn’t it Dylan’s “Master’s of War” that was talking about those boys.
Sick f**kers, that’s what think.
December 2nd, 2005 at 6:16 pmWhat ever happened to the good old fashioned Protestant work ethic–an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay? These clowns seem to think that they have a corner on the Word Processor market which makes them the greatest thing since Ernie Pyle. Without a spell checker they would be SOL (Shit Out’a Luck for you young’uns) and maybe have to actually work for a living at their real intelligence level–teaching DUHbya how to clean the latrines (got you again) at the local Golden Upchucks.
December 2nd, 2005 at 6:17 pmI lived through the Internet bubble, and it was a blast (figuratively speaking of course). This Iraq thing doesn’t sound like much fun at all. Are there any good nightclubs in Baghdad? Are drinks free? Do girls swoon when you talk about stock options? Do our soldiers get fancy coffee at work? Friday Foosball Keggers? I don’t understand the comparison.
December 2nd, 2005 at 6:43 pmi cant believe this, what type of dreamland do they live in. Internet bubble my asz. I m tellin you as the day is long these neocons will try to rub anything on a pig. dammit wsj writer its a pig…nation building crooks painting pigs. GET OVER IT.
December 2nd, 2005 at 6:51 pmSupport the troops Dont support a war for religion.
Gw and co. are mandating a holy war for democracy. are the tax payer is funding it. 06 november cant come soon enough to get rid of the swine painters.
December 2nd, 2005 at 6:55 pm
#4 and #6, So would I!
December 2nd, 2005 at 6:55 pmIf I, or my family, my home, my country were invaded, I would fight to the death to protect what is mine. Bush would call us insurgents — I would call us patriots.
kinda like a bubble in yur brain??? POP!
i like my internet death fizzy and frothy.
what a stinkin maroon.
did ya hear druggy limbaugh tellin Jack Murtha he’s a treasonist bastard….over armed forces radio…druugies dealer needs to jack his stash. or clear channel needs to pull his plug he gone over the edge.
December 2nd, 2005 at 6:57 pmTaranto is living in a bubble. A bubble of the rich, the privileged, and the big heads. Thousands dead, many more thousands severely wounded, and he sees the billions of $$ profit for the defense companies in which he holds stock. He looks down on the rabble from his corner office, while he counts his gold coins gained off the backs of the peasants. WSJ spends so much time measuring profits, increasing dividends, and having their attorneys devising new ways to avoid taxes on such income that they are totally removed from the real world we all live in.
December 2nd, 2005 at 7:03 pmWell, that bubble killed 14 American soldiers in 2 days and is holding about a dozen western hostages and are threatening to turn them into human Pex dispensers.
That is one tough bubble, Jimmy boy.

I was thinking the same thing! This is my response on another thread:
WaltTheMan,
Haven’t you noticed a decided *lack* of trolls today?
Not on ONE post I’ve visited.
They’re either at a Rove Revival, or…
maybe it’s one stinking troll making up all the other names, and he or she got sick today…, thus, no trolls.
(I’m thinking that last one….)
Anyway, Happy Posting!

Great minds….
December 2nd, 2005 at 7:17 pmMaybe Karl is holding the final meeting where they all have to drink the Kool-Aid from a big barrel in a field somewhere.
The right-wing is becoming unhinged. The nations finances are spiraling out of control, the disaster from Katrina is still leaving a stank of death in the air, Iran is buying missiles from Russia, North Korea is still doing there nuclear thang…and what do they do…trot out the Santa Claus is under attack meme?
It is going to get ugly real soon…they are amping up all of the rhetoric about being personally under attackt to. Witness the Coulter/O’Rielly boo-hoo fest yesterday. I thought these wingers hated whiners and people who claimed victim status……
-GSD
December 2nd, 2005 at 7:41 pmGSD:
December 2nd, 2005 at 7:48 pmAs I have said before the only
consistent winger value is hypocrisy,
hence “whiners and people who claimed victim status……”
Afterthought,
I have taken to listening to Bush speak and simply flipping the logic on everything he says to find out what he really means. It really does end up sounding Orwellian….

December 2nd, 2005 at 7:49 pmGSD,
I never imagined we would be living
December 2nd, 2005 at 7:52 pmin the U.S.A. under an Orwell administration, but
sometimes the truth….
GSD,
My youngest just read “Animal Farm” – good,
December 2nd, 2005 at 7:54 pmI think she sees the parallels.
She is a sharp one, nothing gets past her.
I loved “Bloom County” as a young adult.
Anyone remember the strip of Jan. 1,1984?
Milo, the anxiety kid,(forget his name) and opus, walking down the street. Second panel: walking by a huge billboard of “Big Brother Is Watching”
Third panel: Milo Bloom says, “Happy New Year”.
It’s 21 years, but damn it they’ve done it.
December 2nd, 2005 at 8:19 pmRun this one through the chatterbox.
December 2nd, 2005 at 8:31 pmIf America was Invaded by, lets say China, And, Of Course, We Resist, We Capture Some Chinese Civilians Offering Us Peace, And we Use them against China , Saying They will be Killed In such and such time,
Would we be Considered “Kidnappers”?
OR
Would Those Chinese be Considered Prisoners of War?
Just a Thoughtto go along with the Headlines.

Kidnappers threaten to kill peace activists
Mr. Kevin P. Reilly, Jr.
Chairman & CEO
Lamar Advertising Co.
5551 Corporate Blvd.
Baton Rouge, LA 70808
Dear Mr. Reilly:
We are writing on behalf of the Democratic National Committee to demand that Lamar honor a contract its Huntington, West Virginia office entered with the DNC for placement of two billboard advertisements in Portsmouth, Ohio. These advertisements accurately referred to a statement made by U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives attacking a respected Member of Congress and decorated war veteran. The advertisements were aimed at informing her constituents about this statement, and called on Rep. Schmidt to cease such attacks.
The DNC was told by your Huntington regional manager that Lamar is refusing to honor the contract because the advertisements are “too negative.” In addition to refusing to honor the contract for the Portsmouth billboards, Lamar, through its Cincinnati office, refused to accept the same advertisement for placement on billboards in Cincinnati.
While Lamar’s form contract reserves to the company the right to refuse to run a billboard advertisement, Lamar’s conduct in this instance raises serious questions about whether the company is unlawfully or improperly using corporate resources to favor or benefit the Republican Party or Rep. Schmidt. Your regional manager was unable to cite any company policy providing any objective standards or criteria for rejecting political or advocacy advertising.
Rep. Schmidt’s constituents are entitled to know what she is saying on the floor of the U.S. House and the DNC has a right to tell them. Lamar should either offer a credible reason for its efforts to censor the Democratic Party or else should live up to its contractual obligation and let the DNC put up its billboard and let the people of Rep. Schmidt’s district hear the truth.
Please let us know immediately whether Lamar intends to honor its contract–and if not, why. Fairness and the public interest demand no less.
Sincerely,
Joseph Sandler, General Counsel, Democratic National Committee
Amanda LaForge, Chief Counsel Democratic National Committee

ActiveBuddy is putting a new twist on an old idea of bots or “intelligent agents”–small pieces of software that can act more or less independently of direct human control. The service meshes the “chatterbots” that have populated the Net for decades, badly mimicking human conversation, with the database searching functions of an ordinary portal such as Yahoo’s My Yahoo service.
One of the earliest and best known of these “chatterbots” was named Eliza, replicating the often-maddening responses of a psychologist to a patient. Responding to questions and conversation with new questions of “her” own, even this rudimentary bot was able to fool many people online into thinking that “she” was a real person.

Bush wants peace. He really, really does. He wants democracy for Iraq. He wants democracy for Syria. He wants democracy in Iran. Then these insurgents come along and start killing American soldiers. Then it becomes war. The Coalition invaded, bombed the bejesus out of the Iraq and some of the countrymen of Iraq didn’t like that one bit. So, it became a war and more killing is taking place everyday.
The most corporate sponsored, politicized, philosophised, polarized war mankind has ever endured. It’s all about big bucks and obfuscation and lies and death. The most discussed war ever on the face of the earth.
Viet Nam was worse as far as war goes, but this is the worst in the form of disgust.
Grown men acting like stupid bullies on a playground.
It’s a zero sum game, no gain and no sense to it.
It can also get worse. Looks like it already is.

Boy, this stupig idiot Goss just told OBL where they are looking for him. STUPID!
Goss said one of the hardest parts of the CIA’s mission is to “penetrate into some of the sanctuary areas†— whether harsh terrain or “at the heart of a city, in a ghetto or slum area where people don’t regularly go.â€
“Knowing how to find those places and getting to penetrate them is going to be the hardest part of this business,†he said.

December 3rd, 2005 at 6:50 amSounds like the WSJ needs to go back and study American history. In the beginning the American Revolution was only supported by a handful of patriots. Over a period of years support was up and down, finally growing, but even in the end, it was fought by a minority population of revolutionary men and women. For “democracy?”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Thomas Jefferson said this about democracy: “Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% take away the rights of the other 49%.” I mean, it sounds like the Iraqi terrorists/insurgents/killers or whatever we call them does’t want to be governed by a democracy. Anymore than Vietnam did.

Number of American KIA since then – 483

December 3rd, 2005 at 11:27 amBush wants peace. He really, really does. He wants democracy for Iraq, Syria, and Iran… Ron.
Ron, I appreciate what you’re trying to say, the ultimate question is: did THEY want it? The resounding answer is: NO!
I cannot force something on you that you don’t want, nor should the US force something on another country that they didn’t want or ask for. Democracy should never be promoted by military force.
No matter how ‘noble’ the intention to provide a ’service’ for someone else, it becomes tyranny when that service is forced upon them against their will.
December 3rd, 2005 at 11:40 am“If the tables were turned: another country invaded us and we were trying to protect our family and homes would we be insurgents or terrorists?”
Actually, you would be more correctly called “RESISTANCE”.
INSURGENT:
December 3rd, 2005 at 2:21 pm1 : a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government; especially : a rebel not recognized as a belligerent
2 : one who acts contrary to the policies and decisions of one’s own political party
Understood Ralph – I was trying to make a point, which wasn’t made very well. So then those who are in opposition in Iraq should then be called resistance fighters because there is no established government or political parties (hopefully the December 15th Iraq elections will change that – who knows what will be after that: an honest attempt at establishing democracy or a puppet government)

Provides a perspective on this.
December 3rd, 2005 at 3:01 pmI loved “Bloom County†as a young adult.
Anyone remember the strip of Jan. 1,1984?
Milo, the anxiety kid,(forget his name) and opus, walking down the street. Second panel: walking by a huge billboard of “Big Brother Is Watchingâ€
Third panel: Milo Bloom says, “Happy New Yearâ€.
It’s 21 years, but damn it they’ve done it.
