WTF Is It Now?!?

The grandest illusion of all
"The media talk about anti-Americanism, but what’s really noxious right now is an insufferable smugness, a pervasive air of schadenfreude, and I fear it’s a symptom of still worse to come from this Iraq adventure. Because the bitterest contradiction of all may be that this war was waged—first and foremost—to save face after the humiliation and suffering of September 11. It was meant to inspire awe in the Arab and Muslim world, as former CIA operative Marc Reuel Gerecht and others insisted it should be. And in that it truly has failed. Every day we look weaker. And the worst news of all it that it’s not because of what was done to us by our enemies but because of what we’ve done to ourselves."

Partying fratboy Smirky McGolfclub's approval rating for his handling of the situation in Iraq has fallen below 50 per cent for the first time in a Newsweek poll.

The poll, released today, found Mr Popularity's approval rating on Iraq had declined by 5 per cent compared with a September 11-12 poll. It now stands at an embarrassing 46 per cent.
