????...is that really relevant to the discussion? Can't you just except that all of those rabid right-wingers were completely talking out of their rectums on this one and should have done their homework before they started spewing crap out of said rectums.

I have called no one a nazi.

However, anyone who thinks that winning is more important than anything else, that the reason for the war is not a factor, or that the costs (in all respects) of fighting the war is not relevant, then yes, they'd have fit in quite nicely with all the Germans who thought the same way in that respect.

YOu know whats funny. Aide and comort to the enemy comes to mind... In one thread your praise and cheerlead ahmonajihad, and this thread you cooo "winning's not important, lay down your arms"...... Someone here has a signature on treason by Areleus..... Perhaps you should read it.
You know what is funny, the Germans who supported Hitler said the exact same thing to anyone who criticized Hitler or his war aims. Perhaps there was a good reason you felt like my post was likening you to a good little nazi after all.

That helps get the cheaper rates. The more specific you are with an ad (date, section, other ads you do or don't want to be near, etc) just ups the price.

Hmmm and they paid for and submitted the ad what 8 days before it ran and at no time during those 8 days was there an opportunity to run it, the FIRST opportunity just HAPPENED to be on the day of the Petraeus testimony and in the A section.

yeah right

Betraying Its Own Best Interests

Published: September 23, 2007

"FOR nearly two weeks, The New York Times has been defending a political advertisement that critics say was an unfair shot at the American commander in Iraq.........

But I think the ad violated The Times’s own written standards, and the paper now says that the advertiser got a price break it was not entitled to."

Hmmm guess you should have held off judgement. The ombudsman says different.

I guess people should read articles from the paper in question explaining why they're wrong before running off at the keyboard.
