Recent Washington Post article talks about how some unidentified Iraqis are saying that they are going to suffer if the United States leaves soon. These Iraqis are saying that there will be a lot of killings by the various militias running around the country once the US leaves. No doubt they are right on that. Unstated but obvious message of the WP article is that therefore we the US must continue our war efforts there at least for the reasonably forseeable future and therefore things, if not fine, are at least the least bad of all the possible alternatives. Which dishonest message, is of course to be expected from a newspaper that shamelessly shilled for the war in the first place.
