Meanwhile, for your amusement (via MJT) here are some new definitions from Mark Steyn of the various catch phrases our media have been inflicting on us for the last couple of years: THE BRUTAL AFGHAN WINTER! = Daytime temperatures 40 degrees higher than New Hampshire. THE MIGHTY PASHTUN WARRIOR, HUMBLER OF EMPIRES! = El floppo loser face down in a daisycutter crater. THE SEETHING ARAB STREET! = Westchester county cul-de-sac. THE JENIN MASSACRE! = The brutal Afghan winter. THE MIGHTY SANDSTORM THAT'S STALLED THE AMERICAN ADVANCE IN THE QUAGMIRE OF MESOPOTAMIA! = A short rest stop in the fastest heavy-armor advance in military history. BAGHDAD IS THE NEW STALINGRAD! = Baghdad is the new Kabul. THE WORST CULTURAL DESECRATION IN HISTORY! = Thirty missing potshards. "THERE ARE NO AMERICANS AT THE AIRPORT" (Robert Fisk, Andrew Gilligan, etc) = Rumsfeld's cutting the ribbon at the Terminal B Starbucks. It's healthy to review those when we're all hiding under our beds about what's going on in Iraq right now.
