Pots, Kettles and Degrees of "Blackness"
Reading the paper this morning I was faced with this headline and abstract:
U.S. Cites Planning Gaps in Iraqi Assault on Basra
Interviews suggest that Iraq’s Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki overestimated his military’s abilities and underestimated the scale of the resistance in Basra.
This is a galling statement on many levels. Not least of which is the echoing of the original sins of the "father" so to speak. I am disappointed in the Times for being so quick to point this out after being so lax in pointing out the same flaws in the invasion of the entire country of Iraq. Too little too late guys, no wonder your medium is dying.
