Skip the discussion on bias, they make it clear.

Genocide Preferred

NYT editorial board offers up a very stern and earnest demand:

It is time for the United States to leave Iraq, without any more delay than the Pentagon needs to organize an orderly exit.
​

NYT acknowledges what will follow:

… Iraq, and the region around it, could be even bloodier and more chaotic after Americans leave. There could be reprisals against those who worked with American forces, further ethnic cleansing, even genocide. Potentially destabilizing refugee flows could hit Jordan and Syria. Iran and Turkey could be tempted to make power grabs. Perhaps most important, the invasion has created a new stronghold from which terrorist activity could proliferate.

The administration, the Democratic-controlled Congress, the United Nations and America’s allies must try to mitigate those outcomes — and they may fail. But Americans must be equally honest about the fact that keeping troops in Iraq will only make things worse.​

Genocide preferred. NYT should be applauded for its honesty.
