Reply #12: Well, he could at least argue that a HUGE invasion [View All]

as opposed to a mere 200,000 troops, would have worked better.

What really pisses me off about Friedman, aside from the last gratuitous jab, is that for two years he has been declaring that we are at a crossroads, a tipping point, nows the time to whatever....and it gets ignored as a suggestion, and next month its another crossroads.

Why hasn't he just realized that hey, he's proclaimed our occupation dying for two years and isn't it time he was consistent enought to proclaim it dead?

One of the sentences I edited out was a snotty aside that Friedman will write a column calling for a national dialogue as critically important to have right now every six months until 2010, without reference to any of the prior ones..
