Ali formerly of Iraq the Model and currently blogging from Iraqilibe has started to have doubts about his occupiers. Fair enough.
As Ali said in the NYT piece: " 'Me and my brothers,' [Ali] said, 'we generally agree on Iraq and the future.' (He is helping his brother Mohammed, who is running on the Iraqi Pro-Democracy Party ticket in the Jan. 30 election.) But there is one important difference: 'My brothers have confidence in the American administration. I have my questions.'
to which the NYT columnist Sarah Boxer adds
"Now that seems genuine."
to which Chrenkoff adds:
Now that seems offensive - an Iraqi can only seem "genuine" if he shares the liberal media elite's doubts about the liberation of Iraq. God forbid that anyone could possibly be happy that Saddam's gone and Iraq now has a chance for a better future - such people must obviously be frauds, or better still, frauds on American payroll
So it's offensive to say that it seems more genuine that someone would have doubts about "liberators" who had razed multiple cities and killed 1000's of their fellow civilians than that those same people would welcome us still and love us unconditionally?
Let's leave out how off the rocker someone would have to be to believe that the megacorps that control the media would allow it to be "liberal". (Though Chrenkoff's unfailing support of the Swiftboat liars should give you a view into his world.) Let's just ask one question, "Which seems more genuine to you at this point, an Iraqi with doubts about the US occupation or an Iraqi without doubts?"
I'd pick the former and wonder whether the latter was a tool or a fool.
