Back in March of this year, David Halberstam said about going to Iraq...
"My fear is not that we can't do it militarily; my fear is that we are about to punch our fist into the largest hornet's nest in the world, and do some of bin Laden's recruiting for him."

Wouldn't it have been wonderful if someone had listened to him?

1. For the PNAC cabal, things are going exactly as planned.
Their only real problem is in marketing.

3. Me, too! "I listened"!

4. Everyone listened to him
The only problem is, they were too busy waving American flags and calling him an anti-American traitor to actually hear him.
