Daring writer. One of a very few who describe reality truthfully.
I wonder how he is received by his colleagues.

Is no news good news or bad news? In Iraq, it seems good news is deemed no
news.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/leading_article/article2796318.ece">
The current achievements, and they are achievements, are being treated as
almost an embarrassment in certain quarters. The entire context of the
contest for the Democratic nomination for president has been based on the
conclusion that Iraq is an absolute disaster and the first task of the next
president is to extricate the United States at maximum speed.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/leading_article/article2796318.ece">
All of these attitudes have become outdated.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/leading_article/article2796318.ece">Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic
have to appreciate that Iraq is no longer, as they thought, an exercise in
damage limitation but one of making the most of an opportunity. The instinct
of too many people is that if Iraq is going badly we should get out because
it is going badly and if it is getting better we should get out because it
is getting better. This is a catastrophic miscalculation. Iraq is getting
better. That is good, not bad, news.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BA4B08EE-0A5C-495A-BC60-3DCD3F7DA04E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
