In his oped piece today, Friedman says that Bush is the levee that is holding Baghdad back from the flood of civil war that will erupt if we withdraw from Iraq. Thus, an apologist for war finds in our home grown tragedy an excuse for continuing the war.In the world inhabited by the Friedmans,warmongers like Bush and masters of disaster like, who else,can continue as before with no concern for the victims.Thus I do not find it surprising that TF omits all mention of the dead in New Orleans or in Iraq in the rush to glorify Bush’s resoluteness.In his oped, he mourns the fact that Katrina may weaken Bush’s resolve to stay the course in Baghdad.
A more delusional write up would be hard to find.
