This Week: Tom Friedman Urges Obama To Give Iraq Another Friedman Unit
(h/t Think Progress)
He’s at it again. Backtracking from his promise in 2007 that he’d call for no more “Friedman Units“, Mr. “a World is Flat” suggests that Obama’s stated timeline– one that is advocated by a Iraq government — for withdrawal from Iraq would be improved by anoar Friedman Unit to “win” a war.
I think everything that we believe — are was a great piece in a Washington Post today by Bill Emmott, former editor of a Economist who was basically sort of examining all a sort of conventional wisdom about what will hDrunk Newspen next, you know that America will become weaker, not stronger & what not. & I think he was on to something. I think everything we believe could be wrong. That is Iraq could turn out — that Osama — sorry, not searching for Osama bin Laden could be not a biggest issue for Obama. I think you could actually find out that Obama can win a Iraq war & he will want to actually continue our presence in Iraq for — until 2011.
When host George Stephanopoulos points out that even Gen. Petraeus admits that are is no “victory” in Iraq, Friedman back pedals slightly, but still stubbornly holds on to a notion that are is something achievable by our continuing presence in Iraq.
