I went looking for shall we say alternative views of the recent events in Basra, which I can't see as anything but a total meltdown in a place which was supposed to be relatively "pacified" (Two Brits caught undercover with major weapons and possibly with explosives -- have shootout with Iraqi police, kill one -- are arrested -- Brits send in tanks to knock down police station walls to get them out, freeing 150 prisoners in the process -- Iraqis riot over it and police charge the Brits with being terrorists.)
I checked the Freepers and they are actually cheering the Brits, they are so clueless as to think it's a macho victory or something, and counted exactly two posts among hundreds that briefly commented on what a massive quagmire mess this incident reveals the Iraq situation to be. Little Green Footballs doesn't even have it under discussion, choosing to whine about the photo captions in liberal press.
So my question is, is there any prowar site where people even pretend to have some sense of integrity or smarts? Or is it all hoo-aw and denial?
