Blogs are like opinions: Everyone's got one, and they usually stink. But since the relentless drumbeat towards has slowed down,
this person decides to stick her thumb in the eye of all the unpaid Bush Administration war-bloggers. Well, good for her, although I don't envy her inbox.
The warblog drums are growing silent.
They're either running out of time, or money, or steam — or the conviction that Operation Iraqi Freedom was going to be a cakewalk in the sand.
If the above makes no sense to you, then you have not been paying attention to the chest-thumping chaterati of the cybersphere, a post 9/11 class of might-is-right and right-is-might wordsmiths who rode the "War on terror" wave with their warmongering web logs.
But now, with the news getting more dire, the quag more mired and the cost of war ever higher, the warbloggers find themselves on the wrong side of history. And so some of them are putting down their mice and putting up a white flag.
Sounds like someone is asking for a good Fisking, even though she's probably right.
