Beat to the punch

I was preparing a fisking of Moore’s latest email screed.  Whenever I do these long fiskings (which I admit is rarely!) I often stop a number of times to help me 1. get away from it for a bit and 2. formulate what I want to say.  Well, I popped over to Wizbang and Jay Tea already wrote almost every single thing i wanted to say.  Yay!  Less typing for me.  Definitely read the whole thing...he nails Mike’s hide to the wall.

Example:

The Soviet Union got out of Afghanistan in 36 weeks. They did so and suffered hardly any losses as they left. They realized the mistake they had made and removed their troops. A civil war ensued. The bad guys won. Later, we overthrew the bad guys and everybody lived happily ever after. See! It all works out in the end!

Funny how Moore fast-forwards from “the bad guys won” to “we overthrew the bad guys.” What happened in the meantime? Well, a little thing called the Taliban happened—the Islamist thugs who brutally oppressed their own people and gave a home to an innocuous little group called Al Qaeda. You might have heard of them—they’re the ones who killed 3,000 people in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia back in September of 2001. Yeah, that’s an example we should be looking to emulate.

Nice.
