William Arkin – Just Biden His Time

From William Arkin’s damage control:

I said I was bothered by the notion that “the troops” were somehow becoming hallowed beings above society, that they had an attitude that only they had the means – or the right – to judge the worthiness of the Iraq endeavor.

Invoking the Moral Equivalence Clause from the MSM Big Book of Behavior, we can restate this to say:

I said I was bothered by the notion that Cindy Sheehan is somehow becoming a hallowed being above society, that she had an attitude that only she had the means – or the right – to judge the worthiness of the Iraq endeavor.

To continue…

I was dead wrong in using the word mercenary to describe the American soldier today.

These men and women are not fighting for money with little regard for the nation. The situation might be much worse than that: Evidently, far too many in uniform believe that they are the one true nation.

Evidently? How does he “know” this? Al-Qaeda tells him so, silly.

See here for what I mean by “Biden.”
