It was called Saturday at THE COMMON ILLS, "John Peeler is a whore, it's that simple, there's nothing progressive about him."
To recap . . .
It is not 'progressive for LA PROGRESSIVE to print a garbage war article that could have been written by Thomas Friedman and William Safire in 2004 (in fact, both gas bags did write this exact sort of article in 2004).
It is not progressive to say of the inhabited country Iraq, "We broke it, we bought it." No. Just no. Iraq is not for sale and was not for sale. 'We' did not buy it. It was an inhabited country and it was not for sale.
It is not progressive to pimp 'burden of the White man.' But that's what Peeler writes, a 'burden of the White man' column.
It is not progressive to ignore the feelings of the Iraqi people. From the start of the war, the Iraqi people have been very clear that what they want is for US troops to leave. That's not a new sentiment. At this point, it shouldn't be a surprising sentiment.
For LA PROGRESSIVE to publish this garbage is shameful. This is how bad things get when you have no ethics and you whore for a politician. Peeler whores for Joe Biden. Joe Biden is more important to Peeler than the over one million Iraqi people killed in the war so far, more important than the 35 million Iraqis living in their country today.
To whore for Joe, Peeler pulls out neocon type arguments over a decade after they have been discredited and LA PROGRESSIVE publishes the garbage.
