Notes Bob Herbert in the NYTimes today:
"The C.I.A. was warned that Curveball was as crazy as a Peter Sellers character, but the administration wanted this war in the way that a small child wants candy. Curveball's information was swallowed whole."
Well they GOT their war. But a more interesting question is how does it all end?
The longer the war continues the more it looks like a Christian-Jewish assault on the Empire of Islam. Indeed, the "coalition" is almost all English Speaking now.....making the cultural case even more glaring.
The BUSH MISTAKE will likely destabilize the Middle East for decades to come.....AND make Muslims more likely to adopt the Radical Islamist Ideas of Osama & Co. Or, does anyone still believe that having Christian Killers in Araby will "change hearts and minds" longer term?
THE WORST PART OF THIS WAR IS THAT IT PLAYS RIGHT INTO OSAMA'S GAME PLAN FOR THE RESURGENCE OF RADICAL ISLAM IN THE MIDDLE EAST......THAT WAS DUBYA'S GIFT TO OSAMA.
