Richard Cohen on Iraq: A 'Sorry' Case (E&P)
The Washington Post columnist -- who once declared that the U.S. had "no choice" but to invade Iraq, partly for "therapeutic" reasons -- now admits things have gone wrong, and says that soldiers have a right to feel "duped" because of the "exaggerations" that led to war. But, please, don't blame him. (More)

Cohen's lame mea culpa (AKA: The Many Faces of Richard Cohen):

(Snip ..) Before you protest "of course, Cohen," let me explain that the "I" in the foregoing sentence is really four people. There is the "I" who originally thought the Vietnam War was morally correct, that the communists were awful people and that the loss of South Vietnam (the North was already gone) would result in a debacle for its people. That's, in fact, what happened. It was only later, when I myself was in the Army, that I deemed the war not worth killing or dying for. By then I -- the second "I" -- no longer felt it was winnable, and I did not want to lose my life so that somehow defeat could be managed more elegantly. (More ..)

Mr. Cohen, please retire. Go lick your ego with McNamara and Rumsfeld.

1. When the media whores like Cohen start bailing, the rats are leaving the sinking ship!

Cohen once had ethics - then he decided to dump on liberals and start kissing GOP ass. But that decision was made long ago.

Rather sad.

2. He not only deserves the sack for this comment, his wife ought to divorce him

"In a post-Sept. 11 world, I thought the prudent use of violence could be therapeutic."

'Therapeutic'? :puke:
