If You Like Snark...

You'll like Isaac Chotiner's post from TNR's group-blog "The Plank" the other day. He takes down Noemie Emery's article from The Weekly Standard speculating that the American people will now blame the Democrats for whatever happens in Iraq if the "surge" fails- alleging the Dems' actions have given Bush a "partial alibi for a possible failure--he tried, but at a critical moment they threw in the towel." Really? As Isaac puts it- "That makes perfect sense. Just like the American people have blamed Democrats for the war's failures thus far." Now, that is the rare link which made me laugh out loud. Yeah, I am pretty sure, no matter the result, this is Bush's war. He knows it and the American people know it. I hope for all of us, he succeeds.
