Mr. Friedman is OK but as an architect he built an outhouse on four good pillars.
I'm convinced that our Iraq Occupation was a planned failure. There were no good intentions involved. Traitors like Rumsfeld & Cheney followed orders. Quitters like our glorious General Tommmy Franks walked out way before MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. We were meant to become f'ing occupiers, just like Israel.
I have one good pillar for the USA: let's keep our noses out of foreign squabbles, unless there is a lot of booty in it for us. I haven't seen any come out of Viet Nam and Iraq.

And he wrote this before the speech was given. He had some inside information as to what the speech would contain.

I agree that he speaks for me were I to approve of this military build up which I do not. I have lost my faith in
Obama. Now, as Katelew said, it is HIS WAR.
