Shorter Ross Douthat, A Formerly Great New York Newspaper:
A Very Liberal Intervention

  • War, like masturbation, is best done by yourself.

‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

frist! I will never pay for doubtthat. evah!

 
 

“…the West’s intervention probably inspired more bloodletting and ethnic cleansing in the short term, exacerbating the very humanitarian crisis it was intended to forestall.”

Ya know, probably. To actually know, Ross might have to do research. Eek!

 
Ted the Slacker
 

Say what:

“The ultimate hope of liberal warfare is to fight as virtuously as possible, and with the minimum of risk.”

What then is “conservative warfare”? Reckless war for war’s sake?

 
 

Hm, I never considered war a particularly “liberal” thing in general, but I guess in a world where Obama is a socialist, it must be.

Also, early OT: Jim Hoft shows, yet again, that he is an ignorant piece of shit.

 
Ted the Slacker
 

Also shorter Douth:

Liberals, when they go to war, don’t ask what’s in it for them. This is why I must concern troll the Obama presidency.

 
 

What then is “conservative warfare”? Reckless war for war’s sake?

That was a rhetorical question, right?

 
 

Looking at that p-shop of Douthat, I have to ask:

Ross Douthat and Kathryn Jean Lopez: separated at birth?

 
 

* War, like masturbation, is best done by yourself.

This explains why we lost in World War One and World War Two and won in Vietnam. If only we hadn’t had British and Dutch troops along for the ride, Iraq would’ve been wrapped up in March of 2003! And the fact that the war didn’t start improving until after the majority of the Sunni insurgency joined forces with us is central to his point, no doubt.

Come to think of it, the only major war we’ve ever fought and won all by our lonesome was the Civil War.

 
 

“…the West’s intervention probably inspired more bloodletting and ethnic cleansing in the short term, exacerbating the very humanitarian crisis it was intended to forestall.”

What does Iraq have to do with this?

 
 

Jim Hoft makes me wish there were a god, just so I could watch get slamdunked into hell.

 
 

Come to think of it, the only major war we’ve ever fought and won all by our lonesome was the Civil War.

So much win.

Well, pretty much a wash if you’re the Confederate Yankee.

What then is “conservative warfare”? Reckless war for war’s sake?

The ultimate hope of consevative warfare is to fight as profitably as possible and to send someone else to face the risk.

 
 

Dear “Pinch” Sulzberger:

1) I regard yourself, Donald Graham of the War Criminal Post, and Rupert Murdoch equally culpable for turning American journalism into a cesspool whose main purpose is to promote corporate propaganda.

2) I’m not going to pay for your poop.

That is all.

“How dumb are we?” A Newsweek survey of 1,000 American citizens found that 29 percent couldn’t name the vice president.

 
 

There are some nice comment over at that Formerly Great New York Newspaper Link. Here’s one I liked from a Jim from Cleveland:

If we are to go to war, I much prefer to go to war after consultation with European allies and the United Nations, than to go to war after consultation with the commentators at Fox News.

“How dumb are we?” A Newsweek survey of 1,000 American citizens found that 29 percent couldn’t name the vice president.

I didn’t even know we had a president of vice!

 
 

* War, like masturbation, is best done by yourself.

A Douthat column, like masturbation after chopping jalapenos, is best avoided entirely.

And considering Douthat’s self-reported history, I think you could go so far as to have him say, “War, like sex, is best done by yourself.” Though war usually features less failure to launch and, for him at least, fewer tears , fewer angry recriminations, and less guilt about how badly it turned out.

 
 

The ultimate hope of liberal warfare is to fight as virtuously as possible, and with the minimum of risk. But war and moralism [sic, per Firefox] are uneasy bedfellows, and “low risk” conflicts often turn out to be anything but.

So … basically, he’s saying that if you’re going to go to war, you might as well carpet bomb the whole damn thing and do it without caring what anyone else thinks since people will die anyway, so who the fuck cares, amIright?

I love it when the self-righteously-pious and dedicated-to-the-LAWRD! Xtian folks decide that whole “Thou Shalt Not Kill” Commandment is optional.

 
 

I didn’t even know we had a president of vice!

Let me show you him!

Scenes we can only imagine, Oval Office edition:

President Obama: “Hello America. It seems that no matter what I do half of you think I don’t do enough and the other half thinks I’m turning the country into the Soviet Union. Sooo… Fuck y’all. I’m not running in 2012 except to take Michelle and the girls to some tropical paradise where we can drink Mai-Tais while you all go Mad Max on each other. Peace out.”

 
 

Somebody make a hilarious joke.

Sorry, I can’t perform on demand.

 
Lurking Canadian
 

Alternate shorter Douthat:

It is a terrible thing indeed when Americans are forced to make even token obeisance to their solemn treaty obligations. It really cramps the fun game of Risk that the Bush administration was playing.

Also, I agree with Noam Chomsky about the effect of the bombing of Kosovo but I would never admit that in ten thousand years.

 
 

President Obama: “Hello America. It seems that no matter what I do half of you think I don’t do enough and the other half thinks I’m turning the country into the Soviet Union. Sooo… Fuck y’all. I’m not running in 2012 except to take Michelle and the girls to some tropical paradise where we can drink Mai-Tais while you all go Mad Max on each other. Peace out.”

I realize going Galt is a fantasy no matter who does it, but I’d dearly love to see what they’d do if every liberal and every institution they built somehow folded up their tents and peaced out.

Let’s see them try and preserve their “bestest society in the world” with no unions and no regulation at all, 90% of their scientists gone, none of the welfare organs they think the government should keep its hands off of, not even church charities to compensate for the lack of them (because “social justice churches” are evil too). Oh. And no Muslims, immigrants, black people, gays or “liberal elitists” to blame and hate, and therefore nothing to keep them together.

Mad Max? What was left of the country would make Mad Max look like the Federation from Star Trek.

There are some things one doesn’t actually need to experience to know they are very bad and best avoided. Like fully reading a Douthat column.

 
 

‘War, like masturbation, is best done by yourself’.

Sadly No! Tintin’s lying again! It’s not so much acting alone or multlaterally — but just freakin’ acting! Douthat’s got Obambi down cold. Dithering. Bwahahahaha!! ‘Obama’s Liberal Internationalist Intervention’.

 
 

Come to think of it, the only major war we’ve ever fought and won all by our lonesome was the Civil War.

I do decla-ah, they’s Yankees about!

Dithering

Yes, it’s so much better to rush and invade a country at random, ala the Bush Doctrine.

 
 

Donalde must be hurting for hits again

Yep. I mean if you’re gonna go lunatic, there are better writers….

 
 

Here’s the thing: We lefties can criticize Obama for bombing another nation because of oil, because we criticized G.W. Bush for the same thing.

People like Donalde have to use Jedi mind tricks to explain why they were for it before they were against it.

Jedi mind trick = trying to come up with something besides “The only real difference is Obama isn’t a white Republican.”

I notice that no one’s ever bothered to ask them why they were for the Iraq war on humanitarian grounds (“look, we’re building a democracy, look at all the happy people!” quickly became the only argument after al-Qaeda and WMD ones were disproven), but against similar intervention in Yugoslavia.

Here’s the thing: We lefties can criticize Obama for bombing another nation because of oil, because we criticized G.W. Bush for the same thing.

The weird thing is they criticized Obama for not bombing, too, up until the point he did.

Dear God, topmost at the Corner right now includes the quote “The president does not seem to care about the United States Congress,” he says. “The president has failed to define success and explain to the American people and the Congress why we are going to war.” also complaints of “not fully comprehend[ing] the geopolitical consequences” and the failure to meet the “clear and present danger” threshold. Further down they link someone who complain Obama vacations in times of crisis. DIE NOW.

 
 

Sulzberger Thinks You Should Pay For This

I think he realizes that there are enough people who are willing to pay for it and more importantly, as this stuff helps push the corporate agenda, there are big money advertisers that are willing to pay for it. As long as the advertisers are happy, the readers are unimportant.

“The president does not seem to care about the United States Congress,” he says. “The president has failed to define success and explain to the American people and the Congress why we are going to war.”

He should’ve fought his war the Republican way.

You know, have Oliver North sell weapons to a terrorist regime and use the money gained in the arms sales to finance the war in Libya, all the while proclaiming that no such thing was happening. Much more constitutional and much more respectful of the American Congress and people.

I don’t know how he does it, but Douthat really excels at producing opinion pieces I don’t finish reading.

I just got finished re-reading Barbara Tuchman’s fine book, A Distant Mirror, about fourteenth-century Europe, roughly centered around a prominent French noble (Enguerrand de Coucy).

Tuchman pays special, scathing attention to the martial ideologies that failed France and England so spectacularly in that era. (1) Taxation and debt, overwhelmingly borne by the poor, to pay for endless war, the aims being either those of the rich, or totally inexplicable from our vantage point. (2) Reliance on mercenary “companies,” utterly without allegiance our credo beyond personal gain. These folks cycle in and out of government service, switching sides, living off the peasantry while destroying both labor and means of production while committing the most heinous atrocities imaginable. (3) A self-absorbed and deluded knightly class that’s largely incapable of planning and executing goal-oriented military operations. Pardon my over-simplification, by knights must charge! Glory is the point, don’t deploy your archers! Mustn’t question the chivalry of the chivalrous, whatever they do! One knight is worth a hundred musselmen!… and so on. (To be fair, some knights (like de Coucy) were almost absurdly brave, skilled, and tough, though not chivalrous in the ideal sense.)

On second thought, I won’t ruin the end of the book re: de Coucy’s fate. And I won’t draw out the obvious comparisions to our own militarism, or specifically, the Libyan intervention.

One of the best things to read about in that department: Swiss history. The Swiss Confederation was actually developing decent military tactics (or in some cases simply recycling, like the phalanx formation used in ancient Greece and Rome) while the “great powers” relied on the idiotic charge-of-the-knights “strategy” – they were more interested in preserving the class system than actually winning battles.

That explains why the Swiss were so prized as mercenaries during that period (the Swabians in southern Germany eventually started imitating them, but it took some time), and also how they maintained their independence even though they were surrounded by hostile powers (mainly Austria, which came up against the Swiss time and time again and were stomped every single time).

It’s a lot like reading about Arab/Israeli wars in the XXth century – tiny country surrounded by bigger but dysfunctional enemies and beating the crap out of them over and over through simple professionalism.

CRA: Tuchman’s book is rather dated now. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a good replacement for it (a scholarly but accessible general account of later medieval N. Europe). Points 1) and 2) hold up for the most part.

Actually, if you want late medieval history that’s a bit more analogous to our present situation, John Najemy’s _A History of Florence, 1200-1575_ takes in all the cutting edge research for the Florentine republic and presents in a nice and fairly readable synthesis. Najemy’s scholarly fame rests on his charting of Florentine electoral politics in the decades around 1400, which reveals how the small circle of the wealthiest Florentine merchant and banking families creating an oligarchic regime (before the Medici seizure of power in 1434), despite massive enlargement of the sheer numbers of men eligible for office in the Florentine republic; this all in backlash against workers’ revolt in 1378 and a popular regime of 1378-82, with genuinely broad-based political representation. A sad story but good up-to-date social-political history.

The “war, like masturbation” lines have been quite amusing but we should recognize that we misunderstood. Douthat obviously fucked up his grammar. He used the preposition “like” when he meant to write “war _as_ masturbation” One can see how he would make that inadvertent, Freudian error.

This way of war has obvious advantages. It spreads the burden of military action, sustains rather than weakens our alliances, and takes the edge off the world’s instinctive anti-Americanism. Best of all, it encourages the European powers to shoulder their share of responsibility for maintaining global order, instead of just carping at the United States from the sidelines.

Girouex allegedly said as a youth pastor he felt it was his duty “to help (the teen) with homosexual urges by praying while he had sexual contact with him.”

Makes perfect sense! He removed the kid’s homosexual urges by providing homosexual release… FOR JESUS!!!

Another man said he was 23 years old and having problems with his wife when Girouex wanted to “help him with his issues.” The man alleged Girouex pulled down his pants and began to touch his genitals.

He was just lending a helping hand.

Well, if you’re not boning a supermodel and have time on your hands, hows about THIS?

 
 

Jesus is not gay, he’s only happy.

 
 

When boning a supermodel it’s best to start at the extremities and work your way…

Wait, what?

 
 

With ginger sauce, I will eat almost anything boneless.

Yet another spineless President getting us involved in another war that has nothing to do with us. Our current crop of bloodsucking globalist politicans will NEVER take military action when American interests are at stake, but will jump at the chance to send our military to war that is not in our interests to fight. This war with Libya is pointless and immoral. Gaddafhi is actually taking action against Al Queda in his own country while the rebels are islamist sympathizers. What Gaddafhi does in his own country in no way effects American National Soveringty and should be left alone. The globalists in our government are traitors and care nothing about the concept of Nationhood and National Soveringty.

When will America get a President with some backbone who takes long overdue military action against Mexico for repeatedly violation American National Soveringty? Not as long as the idiot American people keep voting for the globalist two party system. I hope you liberals choke on your soon to be established one world government.

The Rabbit of Seville and Long Haired Hare are also classics. Hell I love all the old classic (not cut up) Looney Tunes. As a matter of fact I am watching some right now.

A while back the Cartoon Network used to run a big Bugs marathon, and in the middle of the night they’d even show the super-racist ones from WWII and before that you couldn’t find otherwise. Pretty amazing.

Military action against Libya is completely unjustified. Has Libya taken to the seas and waged war against America? Does Momar Gaddafhi remaining in power pose any threat whatsoever to American National Soveringty or to our National Security or to American citizens? The answer to all of those questions is a resounding NO!

Those are the requirements for a just war. That the opposing power with which we are engaged be either a threat to our National Soverignty, National Security or to our citizens. Libya doesn’t fit any of those criteria, therefore war is not justified in this case.

You leftist cowards are speaking gibberish rather than debating the facts with me. If the French and the British want this war so bad they should fight it alone. They are more than capable of winning this conflict without American involvement.

The American military should be used only to defend our own Soverignty and interests. American troops would be best served deployed along the Mexican border with occassional cross border raids to punish the Mexicans for their violation of Our National Soveringty. And full fledged invasion if they persist in encouraging the “reconquista” of the American Southwest.

Ok, when you let a crazy guy kill a whole bunch of people and don’t lift a finger, even when asked, it tends to tarnish your reputation and prestige. Then everyone else in the world gets mad at you and maybe more people join terrorist groups or sympathize with terrorists. Also sending troops to Mexico would be a diplomatic debacle, but I’m sorry I didn’t take the person who suggested it seriously even though his name kinda translates to shiteater. Tada

Also I’m sorry that I can’t articulate how withdrawing from every international institution and cutting off all contact with the world save occasional violence against neighbors over perceived slights like a goddamned nation of unabombers isn’t a viable foreign policy option for a world power in a way that a sociopath would understand but truly it wouldn’t make a lick of difference so I guess this insincere apology is just another means of making “lameO” jokes.

Gary Mangiacopra, are you the same Mangiacopra of Sharlie fame? Fantastic story, really. If this is not you, then excuse me.

As for Lybia and (G,K)Quadaffi, it isn’t every day that you get the opportunity to destroy a mass murderer. It’s even better when the whole civilized world is on your side and someone else is actually helping to do the destroying. Ugly business, yes. Maybe those America-hating rebels will have a change of heart now, see us in different light, so to speak, no?

 
 

Libya is a trap, and Obama walked right into it, as usual.

By intervening, we provide ammunition for our enemies who will accuse the US and Europe of interfering in a Middle-Eastern country in order to control its resources, once again. This narrative is as old as Western Civilization, and it’s very easy for Muslims to believe. It’s no longer their struggle to overthrow a brutal dictator; it’s now just another imperialist “shock and awe” campaign against a desperately poor population.

On the other hand, if we had stayed out of it (as we wisely, and surprisingly, did in Egypt), then they can accuse Obama of failing to take action to prevent a terrible human tragedy at the hands of a monster. Now that we’re in it, they complain that he didn’t act soon enough, or with enough force, AND they can also accuse him of dragging the US into an expensive, bloody long-term fight with no bearing on our national interests. Yes, I said “and”. The same people will make both, seemingly contradictory arguments, in the same articles.

If Khadaffy is overthrown or killed, we will have to be a part of the long-term occupation, pacification and “nation-building” that went so swimmingly in Iraq and Afghanistan. Alternately, if he hangs on, the war will be steadily ratcheted up over the next months, along with the cost in blood and treasure, and Obama will take the blame for failing to “win”.

In the meantime, the cost will give Republicans the excuse they need to further gut and cut vital spending in this country, the recession will sign up for another smash engagement, and we all know what that will mean in the 2012 elections.

So go on–tell me how Obama gets out of this one.
