Time magazine: Sadr’s surrender = a win

Our favorite weirdbeard in Iraq, Mookie al-Sadr, caved to the new Iraqi government.  in the eyes of Time magazine, that act is a rousing victory for Mookie.  Heck, even the headline of the Time piece is…I swear, I’m not making this up…”Al-Sadr Wins Another Round“!

As Ed Morrissey notes:

Another round? Kukis still thinks that Sadr prevailed in Basra by not losing in the first 48 hours. Even the New York Times acknowledged Maliki’s victory in Basra, noting that the residents now enjoy a relatively normal and liberated life in the city on which Sadr imposed a Taliban-like code. The Mahdis have disappeared from the south, and Maliki’s forces control Basra after several years of Sadr’s grip on the area. How exactly did Sadr win that round?

By that logic, since the 8th seeded Atlanta Hawks took the top seeded Boston Celtics to seven games in their NBA playoff first round series, even though the Celtics won four games to three…the Hawks really won!  I mean, it wasn’t an #sskicking, so it must be a win.

Nope…no liberal media bias!
