Sullivan in what I am sure is an unintentional faux pas has awarded himself one of his own awards...the coveted McSullivan Award for Inadequate Attention to Detail. In the quest to be holier-than-Us, Our Lady has made an award to Simon Jenkins for his overstatement of the defense of Baghdad by the Iraqis. While it is true that our forces had little to no opposition in the first days of Saddam's defeat let's look to the one of HRH's co-religionists, Tucker Carlson, who unlike Andy has actually been to B-Dad.
People seem like it's threatening. One of the guys I was traveling with is a former Marine recon guy, Special Forces guy, who spent five months in Somalia in the early '90s. And he said he believed after living here for six months that it's more dangerous than Mogadishu, is what he said.

I can tell you that coming over here, we're staying far outside the Green Zone in a house. I'm staying with Kelly McCann and some of the guys he works with.
Ummm, yeah Andy it was all wrapped up with the made-for-TV toppling of the statue. That's why the CPA folks spend all their time in their little compound, under heavy guard wearing body armour. How many soldiers were killed today so you could snark at the rest of the world? I know, you really, really don't care, they're just servants to you. Servants.

Andy likes to play "Wag the dog" and frolic with George W's Iraq policies, in the role of master, of course.
By the way, I watched the Kennedy Honors on CBS last night and observed a rather uncomfortable George W. Even Cheney seemed to be enjoying the show. But George W seemed not too thrilled with the environs, that included Kennedys as well entertainers who may lean away from the right. Some of George W's grimaces looked like a Serutan commercial. George W's dad zinged him pretty good about lacking musical talents and all George W could do was face the music.
