Ghod Bless Jeff Jacoby...

His steadfast guzzling of the admin's Iraq-policy Kool-Aid is an inspiration to the rest of us.
This sentence, from the above-linked column is a unintentional howler of epic dimensions:
Rapt attention is devoted to the Republican wobbling; much less to the heartening dividends being returned by General David Petraeus's surge.


Dividends...like this?
Certaily the surge has created just enough peace and security for the Iraqi parliament to go into a summer-long recess.

BTW, I thought this was President Bush' surge...Petraeus is just the poor harried General on the ground...only the President, or these days his superior officer, The Vice President can initiate escalation.
Honestly, it's columns like this that ought to get Jeff the Medal of Freedom, or whatever honorific that is appropriate for zealous propagandists with their backs to the wall.
