The Washington Post editorial page for several years now has
been what The New Republic of the early 1990s was: the voice of the
constructive and thoughtful center-left. (I wish its news pages
were as consistently fairminded.) But it's still definitely left of
center, which is why that editorial (see post below) was so
devastating. It is just incontrovertible now that Barack
Justanotherlyingpolitician Obama was wrong -- dead wrong,
dangerously wrong, pathetically wrong -- about the surge. The man
has absolutely no business being commander in chief. His
foreign/defense policy experience is narly nil, and his
foreign/defense policy judgment is appalling. To see the Post point
that out is an early indicator of where public opinion is headed --
which bodes ill for Obama's sickeningly messianic campaign.
