FORGERIES??

If the docs are forgeries, why would the White House have released two identical copies that it had in its possession after the CBS broadcast? Did the White House forge them as well? One more obvious question: how is it that this White House keeps “finding” new documents it previously claimed were lost? Did Hillary somehow get hired?

EMAIL OF THE DAY: “When the instapundits began the comparison of the military situation in Iraq to Vietnam about a year ago, it was clear the comparison was ridiculous. As a reluctant supporter of the need to topple the Bathists in 2003, I agreed the use of that analogy was baseless and political. But can someone, anyone, please tell me how that analogy has not come to pass in the last six months? A high school history student could point out the awful comparisons of the current state of affairs with those of the war in Southeast Asia:

– The insurgency now has very broad popular support and is growing.

– Weapons and fighters are flowing into the country from Iran and Syria.

– US forces are conducting “search and destroy” missions and airstrikes whose effectiveness evaporates the minute the smoke clears.

– The interim government is seen as an illegitimate US puppet, and the “Iraqification” of the country’s security situation has been wrought with desertion and failure.

– And above all you have the administration here at home in ghastly denial, saying all is well and that the turning point is “just around the corner” (a variation of “light at the end of the tunnel” phrase from 35 years ago).

I am on the brink of despair at what the situation has gradually become, both for the Iraqi people, for US moral and military credibility in the broader struggle, and for the historically urgent need to bring some form of hope to the vipers nest of the Arab Middle East.” More feedback on the Letters Page.
