Think Progress reads the Washington Post’s editorial page in order to spare you the pain. That’s because, as TP notes, the same editorial page editors who threw their support between the 2003 invasion of Iraq is now blasting John Murtha’s plan to block the Bush escalation of the same war.
The Washington Post, STILL on the wrong side of history.
Fortunately, as TP reports, public opinion is solidly opposed to the Bush escalation – with 58% polled by (ironically, and sadly) the Washington Post, saying they would support legislation blocking Bush’s plan by creating new rules on troop training and rest time that would limit the number of troops available for duty in Iraq? This is, of course, Murtha’s goal.
67% of Americans, according to the poll, are opposed to sending additional troops to fight in Iraq. Not only are the Post’s brain trust on the wrong side of history on this issue, but they are now staking out a position opposed by most of their fellow citizens.
