Howard Kurtz is frustrated with the Iraqi government

[antiimperialist]

Howard Kurtz is mad.
He is outraged, not because we invaded Iraq without justification, but because the Iraqi government is not doing enough while the occupiers die.

Kurtz wants a "penalty" for Al-Maliki:
If the Baghdad government fails to deliver, is there any penalty?

Further down the page, Kurtz quotes the following media figures:

Matt Drudge suggesting Obama's wife attacked the Clintons.
"Michelle said she travels with her husband in part 'to model what it means to have family values,' adding 'if you can't run your own house, you can't run the White House.' She didn't elaborate, but it could be interpreted as a swipe at the Clintons.

Rich Lowry from conservative National Reivew attacking Edwards' $400 haircut (Kurtz reminds you that the correct figure might be $1,200).
"The infamous $400 haircut -- actually, some of his hairstyling sessions ran as much as $1,200 all told -- wasn't a freak embarrassment for a candidate so self-righteously devoted to the poor. It was part of a pattern so pervasive that it has become the defining aspect of Edwards's candidacy.

Jim Geraghty, also from the conservative National Review suggesting that Democrats picked the 9-11 date for the White House Iraq report in order to politicize the event.
"In fact, if indeed the Democratic leadership of Congress scheduled Petraeus to testify that day, I cannot help but suspect that they indeed are trying to politicize the anniversary. The all-too-easy soundbites write themselves -- 'Today, six years after 9/11, we learn that we're failing in Iraq and the Bush administration has made us no safer and blah blah blah.' "

Howard Kurtz is a joke.

1. We invaded, destroyed the place, made 1/4 of them refugees, killed a couple hundred thousand,

and the suit-droids in Congress want to talk about "incompetence". It's not that we did an evil thing, that we failed miserably to live up to our own ideals, it's that Bush is "incompetent". Hopefully next time we invade and destroy another country it will be done by someone more "competent".
