That's a nice way of telling you to shut your ignorant piehole, Markie.

First, according to you, it's Seymour Hersh who's sold out.
And now, it's the dude who bucked the system as much as any individual in the Third Estate ever did in the history of American government. I lived through that one. I was in my 20's when it happened and I took it all in. And I come away from it saying the inventors of our country would be cheering him.
If it's true about Hersh what you say that's bad enough. But I gotta have more than just your claims to convince me about Woodward.

His Presidency was a huge disappointment for me, but I have no tolerance for people taking pot shots at former Presidents. So if Woodard did a personal attack piece on President Bush, I would not be happy, but Woodard never really shows that kind of crass behavior, and he is much more subtle in his writing, but nonetheless wrong. America does not have to repeat the mistake of Korea in Iraq pouring our resources down a rabbit hole. Iraq is not in our zone of critical American interests......I know that disappoints you because you live on dogma, but substantive differences with a journalist does not have to be about politics.

Oh I asbolutely agree. There are differences allright. Just like there's a difference between the ebola virus and the bubonic plague. The two are not the same.

Define disaster. Israel is as happy as a pig in chit that two nation states which were a direct threat to their security have been neutralized. Tribal disputes in Libya will take years to resolve. In Syria, the 1973 war had them less than 24 hours from invading Israel and taking large chunks of the country as their tanks had tactical advantage in the Golan heights after the surprise attack, and the Syrians not realizing how successful the Egyptians had been in obliterating the Sinai defenses under the Russian air missile defense on the west side of the Suez caused the Israelis to lose almost 150 tanks in the first few days of the surprise attack. Syria now being neutralize will take a generation before it ever poses a conventional military threat. So define disaster. Two dangerous dictators have either been killed or neutralized as a threat to our ally in the middle east.........and as Tom Cotton has made abundantly clear......that IS our foreign policy in the middle east........and it is time to simply cut and run like Ronald Reagan did......the man had it figured out in foreign relations, but sadly dropped the ball in domestic.
