#1 He "won" Iraq about as well as Carter won the cold war.

#2 Actually, it is still possible to lose it and Obamarx has the credentials.

#3 How long before the NYT and CNN declare Obamarx (love that name) the 'Liberator of Iraq'?

#4 "I'm sure that Obama, whatever he said during the campaign, will play this smart."

Let me get this straight. Friedman is all but admitting that Obama's Iraq rhetoric during his two-year campaign was far from cohearant yet he is "sure he will play it smart". Based on what...his record in the Illinois State Seante? This is not simply giving the benifit of the doubt. This is the crafting of phase II of the Obama narrative. Call it...Silenceing of the Skeptics.

#5 The intellectual dishonesty of Friedman on display here is pitiful. To suggest that Obama and the Democrats will try to claim the turnaround in Iraq as their victory and not George Bush's is one thing, and to be expected. But to fail to point out that this would be a usurpation of the truth, as he should know better, is quite another thing, indeed.

Shame on you, Mr. Friedman. I thought you were more honest, and quite frankly, smarter than that.

#6 The Doctor is a surgeon. (So why is he stuck with pink? Or is that the color of Friedman's blood?)

Friedman looks like the remnants of our Thanksgiving turkey.

#7 The NY Slimes has been disgusting for years, and this F**king Fool is one of its biggest dispensers of horseshit. This Ass deserves a NoBowl as much as Fat Albert. Between this dweeb and the spoiled yogurt being dispensed by his compatriot, Dowd, no wonder this rag is a laughing stock and the actual stock value is dropping like a rock.
