How about....
...discussing the commentary rather diverting attention? I posted links to provocative commentary published in a paper known for its moderate Republican views. Each of these articles is critical of the Bush administration's competence in its decision to wage war in Iraq and how it has conducted the war for the past 2+ years. These are not flaming liberals or pinko lefties writing these commentaries. Read them and then lets discuss their content instead of diverting our attention from the critical issues they raise. That's why I started this thread.
