Open Letter to Richard Cohen, Drooling Halfwit
Dear Richard,
I will be blunt: just shut up OK? Really. It’s getting dull reminding you OVER and OVER again that you had a big old hard-on for the war in Iraq. Your paens, some of them almost sexual, to Commander Codpiece are a matter of public record. Please stop acting like your hands are clean in this debacle, because they’re not.
“The longtime and (inexplicably) current U.S. secretary of defense propounded the bright idea that Iraq could be conquered and pacified with about 150,000 American troops.” Bullshit dude: you thought this was a GREAT idea at the time.
“In Iraq, the various groups of fanatics who would blow themselves up for reasons that we could not begin to fathom.” What the HELL are you talking about? Everyone with half a brain KNOWS why they’re blowing themselves up: to drive out the occupying troops, to destabilize and topple the puppet government of Maliki, and to establish an Islamic state allied with
Iran. If you don’t know this by now, I have no idea why you’re still writing columns about international politics.
“Iraq, after all, was extolled as one of the more secular Arab states, which was among the reasons why some otherwise sane people predicted an easy U.S. victory followed by the national singing of “God Bless America.” Yes: people LIKE YOU, who have NEVER ONCE OWNED UP TO THEIR ROLE IS THIS DISASTER.
Speaking of Iraq’s secular nature, those of us who opposed this invasion from the beginning pointed out to anyone who would listen (and that does not include you) that Saddam Hussein hated al quaeda as much as we do. More so: he slaughtered them wholesale.
Please. Go away. Take a vacation in Mexico and make it permanent. Write a children’s book or something. Just stop. You don’t add anything to the dialogue.
