'N.Y. Times' Editorial: Leave Iraq Now

By Greg Mitchell

Published: July 07, 2007 10:20 PM ET

NEW YORK At a critical moment, with Republicans in Congress starting to abandon President Bush on Iraq, The New York Times for its Sunday edition has published what may one day be viewed as a historic editorial.

It is titled, "The Road Home," and opens: "It is time for the United States to leave Iraq, without any more delay than the Pentagon needs to organize an orderly exit."

As long chronicled by E&P, very few newspapers in the U.S. have endorsed a withdrawal from Iraq or even a timetable for that, despite the overwhelming shift in public opinion on that question. Momentum has started to shift in that direction, however, with a handful of papers -- from the Los Angeles Times to, just this week, The Olympian in Washington -- backing a pullout.

3. "Cut & run"? Thats what they called it a couple of years ago.

[pop goes the weasel]

4. It's only cut and run when...

It's only cut and run when the nerds who knew from the get-go that the war was a mistake call for it. When the cheerleaders decide to pack their pom-poms, it's what all the cool kids are doing. Sis-boom. Bah.

5. I hope it catches on with other newspapers

and with the 29% that still likes Bush. Then maybe we can come home.

6. I think we're seeing the shift of the momentum. It's all ours now.

Now that the NYTimes is on it, more newspapers will start falling into line.

Every little bit.

Every little bit.

7. It's the Broken Clock Factor.

F#ck the NYTs. They wouldn't cover Ohio. They SAT on the wiretapping story for a year. They sold this war to the public.

And now we're supposed to be impressed because they think we should get out of Iraq?

:wtf:

I don't know about E&P but please, the next time I take the NYTs advice on ANYTHING, please just shoot me.
