"It should be clear to all by now that what we have in the Bush team is a faith-based administration. It launched a faith-based war in Iraq, on the basis of faith-based intelligence, with a faith-based plan for Iraqi reconstruction, supported by faith-based tax cuts to generate faith-based revenues. This group believes that what matters in politics and economics are conviction and will — not facts, social science or history.
Personally, I don't believe the Bush team will pay a long-term political price for its faith-based intelligence about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Too many Americans, including me, believe in their guts that removing Saddam was the right thing to do, even if the W.M.D. intel was wrong."
I agree with
Friedman's point here.
That is, that the supporting intelegence wasnt there and we (too many Americans including Friedman) dont fucking care. The challenge is to get across why we and he
should care.
This Superbowl is really frustrating. I know I’m supposed to watch the commercials, but I keep ignoring them anyway.
