"The most unfortunate adventure in modern American history"

In the scoop of the millenium, today's edition of the New York Times announced the sudden and totally unexpected reversal of the American war machine: "Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom were brought to an unceremonious close today with a quiet announcement by the Department of Defense that troops would be home within weeks".

“This is the best face we can put on the most unfortunate adventure in modern American history,” Defense spokesman Kevin Sites said at a special joint session of Congress. “Today, we can finally enjoy peace — not the peace of the brave, perhaps, but at least peace.”

U.S. Army helicopters begin moving troops and equipment from Saddam Hussein’s former Baghdad palace.

As U.S. and coalition troops withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan, the United Nations will move in to perform peacekeeping duties and aid in rebuilding. The U.N. will be responsible for keeping the two countries stable; coordinating the rebuilding of hospitals, schools, highways, and other infrastructure; and overseeing upcoming elections.

Slower off the mark than the NYT, Democracy Now is now giving fuller and better coverage on this amazing volte-face by the war criminals in the Pentagon and White House http://www.democracynow.org/2008/11/13/headlines#12
