Tom Freidman says: "Reinvade the Suni Triangle?" Wolf says: "You Mean

Militarily?" Friedman says "Militarily and Jobs!" What is he talking about. On now on CNN!

Friedman also advocating Turkish troops in Iraq under Nato with other Iraqi's? He's also saying Saddam's death is the important thing, to disuade terrorist from thinking they are supporting him?

What is with Friedman. I thought he'd turned toward us???

1. Friedman is desperate..

He is so stuck on convincing himself that he was right to support the war, that he'll advocate anything.

In a month, Friedman will advocate nuking Iraq from orbit.. it's the only way to be sure, right?

Just admit you were wrong, Tom. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it. The war was a stupid idea. Admit it.

3. Yeah he made an abrupt right

just before the war. He tried to get with the winning team. Jumped onto the sinking ship. Yet another weak-willed centrist Democrat.

4. It has been sad to watch his demise into madness.

Friedman has completely lost it. And continues to compound the problem by twisting logic and facts at every turn to justify his support for the war.

5. In November of 2002 he wrote a piece titled

"Let's Give War a Chance". He's been jumping up and down cheering this war from the start.

He is a fool and a rube and an idiot.

8. Think about why he supports the war in Iraq, and you'll find your answer..

...he also strongly supports Israel's policies in regards to Palestinian issues and the need to eliminate Israel's enemies. One need only look at a map of the Middle East to find Israel's enemies and the one country that has aligned with Israel to eliminate those enemies.

Syria and Iran are next.

9. I fear you are correct on Syria/Iran....except troops stretched so thin..

how could we afford to do it....unless they think they will "mop up" in Iraq (ROFL..Mop UP) and then with "refreshed troops or rockets and nukes of all kinds we can then "take care of the 'Borders.'"

They are so "criminally insane.....one doesn't know what they are thinking except it's always "AGRESSION!"

10. Another puff piece by the Putzmeister award winning journalist.

He's a rudderless ship like Lieberman. If the wind blows left, he's left. If the wind blows right, well, you know the rest. The problem is if you truly want to be a journalist or a representative of the people you must lean left by definition and inclination. That's why both are proving so inept, they're out of their league and out of character.

Journalism was born in coffee houses and the peoples representation was born in revolt. Boot-licking panty-waists, both of them.

I don't know why I brought Lieberman into this. I needed a benchmark I suppose.

11. Friedman is a fool

Spouts mostly half-truths.

The Kurds have already threatened to join the resistance should Turkey get involved. That he could even consider the possibility and consider himself any kind of authority is typical.
