On those new Wikileaks documents

Sporkmaster scooped me yesterday on the reporting of the new Wikileaks documents. But I think I have a few things to say about it. If you look on the reporting of the documents, anyone who has spent a minute in the military will recognize that it’s all overreaction to absolutely nothing. People die in war normally, don’t they? And that’s what all the reporting boils down to – war is against the good nature of men. Who didn’t know that? Raise your hands…one…two…Two!

And you know what? We really don’t know what is in the documents because we’re just reading about what the hyper-sensitive media thinks about them. Have the rest of us had the time read through the 91,000 documents yet? Remember the last time we heard from Wikileaks, they said a Hummer was a tank, who knows what the hell they’ll try to get away with this time.

And, *surprise!*, John Kerry believes the hype without looking at the documents in question;

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., though, suggested the release could lead to a change in policy. He said in a written statement that “however illegally” the documents were released, they raise “serious questions” about U.S. policy toward the region.

“Those policies are at a critical stage and these documents may very well underscore the stakes and make the calibrations needed to get the policy right more urgent,” he said.

I remind you that this douchebag would still be President if he’d been elected in 2004.

So there’s really nothing we didn’t know, minus the hyperventilating media’s description of the contents of the leaked documents. They’ve been waiting for this since April, so I’m sure most of their articles were written long befre they got to glance at the documents.
