News From Perfectoworld

In what strange world is this newsworthy?

"As to whether the United States has made mistakes: of course, I'm sure we have," Rice told interviewer Saad Sillawi of the Arabic satellite television station Al-Arabiya. "You can't be involved in something as big as the liberation of a country like Iraq, and all that has happened since, and I'm sure there are things that we could have done differently."


Gee, a war in which both sides are trying to win and it is shocking that we have made some mistakes? Yeah, that's worth some pixels to broadcast.

What is newsworthy is how few mistakes we have made fighting in Iraq. Not that you'll read much about that.
