That was uplifting.

And it informed us of a lot of crap that we didn't already know.

if I actually took the time to read it, I'm fairly certain it would be the least powerful article I would read this week.

and also, probably that we need to pay certain DC-area defense contractors billions of dollars, and lock up anyone who complains or blows a whistle on it... because of that. Not the other way around. Right? I'm guessing if Politico didn't come right out and say that, they at least left the reader to infer it for themselves.

It's an opinion piece citing very few facts. The fact that it's told from a western-friendly point of view is why jdildo feels it's so powerful.

The writer is likely the Arab version of Bill O'Reilly.

It's really nothing special.

did they mention how we were directly responsible for that? and the last time a President advocated for war in Iraq, the DC/established media didn't question the rationale for it, instead helping to fan the flames? And really "the liberal media" (yeah right) was complicit in it?

Nah, none of that.

It was about the troubles they have amongst themselves.
