Covering the Iraq Survey Group

Dear readers, please choose one of the three covers below which adequately covers the Iraq Survey Group's recently released Official Report (pdf) with the proper tone, space and gravitas:

20061207-NYPost_DailyNews.jpg

If you picked the second one, congratulations: you probably supported the invasion almost four years ago. No matter the fact that exactly zero out of ten members of the Iraq Study Group made the correct decision to oppose the war - all were in support of the war, except perhaps Sandra Day O’Connor was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, which I haven't been able to find quotes either way. The mere fact that, at the very least, 9/10 members were predisposed to committing the nation to war, boggles the mind. The fact that zero members of the group were right about this war is a testament to how shallow the debate about Iraq and the secondary issues such as causes of the war, nation-building, exit plans, and basic goals are allowed to progress in "polite" company which the Gang of 500 allow.

No matter, the New York Post calling them Surrender Monkeys is incredibly stupid and asinine; is the rag really worth the 25 cents cover price?

The Post would be a lot more hard hitting if they had half as good a photo manipulator as the Weekly World News. They showed Satan's image in a tornado!
