Read the above article please and express your feelings. Here are my feelings: mainstream liberal journalists, such as Richard Cohen, are to blame for Iraq.

It's not just that he believed what chimp said going into Iraq unquestioningly, although he was warned by well-informed readers and others countless times. It's not just that he abandoned his journalistic duty to be skeptical of the government and rolled over without a whimper. It's not just that he continued "believing" this administration after it became obvious to anyone with more a single brain cell that nothing they said was true.

It's that he STILL doesn't get it. He just decided a couple of days ago that chimp possibly lied, although he's not too sure of that yet. Most of all, he wonders what was in chimp's little soul or heart, and implies that it is still might be okay, if *'s motives were pure. He suggests motives, such as revenge for the death threat against chimp's father, as reasons for his lies. Nothing about Halliburton, or profits for chimp's cronies and his own family. Three years after Iraq, this mainstream liberal journalist is still firmly in denial. Yet he writes this article as if it's a profile in courage.

I blame him and all the others like him.

1. what i fail to understand

is how they were so blind. why did they gave up all sense of reasoning to stand in line and cheer the emperor on his march to glory? now they see what was in clearly front of them when the first bombed dropped, that we could never win a peace or force democracy on the iraqi people. i blame them for their cowardice

3. Exactlty

I remember tearing my hair out in the march toward the invasion because NO mainstream journalists would speak out, not even the liberal ones. Cohen seems unusually blind and dense since he still doesn't get it, and doesn't seem embarrassed by it either.
