Encouraging reconciliation


An AP story this morning begins: “Vice President Dick Cheney sought to encourage reconciliation among rival Iraqi factions on Wednesday in an unannounced visit to Baghdad...” I do not think it is very nice of the AP in the middle of hay fever season to run a phrase as calculated to induce snorts of derision in the runny-nosed reader as “Dick Cheney sought to encourage reconciliation...”

Here the Great Reconciliator arrives and... OH MY GOD! HE’S GOTTEN HIS ARMS LOOSE FROM THAT STRAIT JACKET! RUN, GENERAL PETRAEUS, RUUUUUUN!


And here he is encouraging reconciliation with Maliki.


I think everything’s gonna be just fine.
