Yeah, naturally he knew what any high schooler has known, I was snarking. But in spite of that, Mr Give War a Chance, We Did It Because We Could, The Terrorism Boil Needed to be Lanced Friedman, threw his full-bore support behind Dubya's folly. He knew the neocons had zero plans for contingencies other than being heralded as saviors. He knew that Iraq had fuck-all to do with 911, that Bushco's every stated reason for this war was a lie. He knew Rumsfeld rode herd on Tommy Franks until the invading force (nevermind the post-invasion occupation forces) was trimmed into a lo-rent budget operation. He knew Bushco had Chalabi and the INC thugs waiting in the wings to be crowned as our despots-du-jour. He knew of Bush/Cheney's penchant for diverting every stray dollar, drachma, kopek into Halliburton/Carlyle's pockets. And above all, he knew GeeDub was an insane IDIOT. Yet, he provided cover for our Preznit. And now he has the temerity to wail because it's all going south, as he knew it would if he was as clear-eyed, honest, and half as deep as he imagines himself to be. Fuck Friedman.
