SOMEBODY CALL MATT AND SAM! This is the most brazen incompetence dodge I've seen in a very, very long time. From Friedman's latest column:
The irony of Iraq is that it�s the one place where Mr. Bush decisively chose regime change, but he then executed it so poorly, with insufficient troops, that Iraq never stood a chance. If Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney had spent as much time plotting the toppling of Saddam Hussein as they did the toppling of Colin Powell, Iraq today would be Switzerland.Yes, because the ancient tribal enmity between the Sunnis and Shi'ites is really just an elaborate ruse to make us pay more attention to them.--Ezra Klein
